MAS374: Statistical Design and Data Analysis

This unit is designed for applied statisticians and scientists who need to apply the principles of statistical science to collect, analyse, interpret and present data of high quality. The rich class of statistical techniques known as regression models, which includes multiple regression, analysis of variance and covariance, and logistic regression are covered. Case studies and student projects explore the use of these techniques on real data from a variety of disciplines using statistical computing packages.
