Description:
Statistical modeling using least squares and weighted least squares approaches.
Comparisons of models will be based on computer-aided calculations. Students
will be required to use a statistical software package (computations will be
illustrated with Microsoft Excel) for doing multiple regression calculations and
producing graphics. Coverage: Chapters 2 - 4 (core theory, including the
general linear hypothesis and model adequacy checking), 5- 6 (correcting model
assumptions), 7-8 (applications), and Chapter 9 (variable selection).
Homework and Tests. The homework is a major part of the course. This will include some theory as well as numerical calculation and interpretation. Students will need to be able to use Excel or perhaps MatLab or another statistical package. The final grade will be based on: homework, 50%, mid-term exam, 25%, and final exam 25%.
Grading. 90’s = A, 80’s = B, 70’s = C.
Assignments and Due dates: Late homework will not be accepted. One homework assignment may be dropped.

Directions for 5.10. Data for problem 5.10.
Combine parts (b) and (c) else one obtains negative weights.
Fit sqrt(si)= sqrt(standard deviation) to the x1,x2,x3.
The weights are still wi= 1/si^2, so sqrt(wi)=1/si.
Analyze the residuals via residual vs. predicted plot and normal probability plot.
The following is not required but worthy of note:
Since in 5.10 we have a full factorial experiment with replications (3*( 3^3)=81 observationsw),
one may also fit interactions x1*x2,x1*x3, x2*x3 in addition to the linear terms.
This may be done in both un-weighted and weighted cases. (Keep the weights as above.)
The weighted fit has only moderate need of the interaction terms.
