MATH 665 - Applied Regression Analysis and Design of Experiments

Credits: 3
Prerequisite: MATH 564 or permission of the instructor.
Description: Designed as an applied course in regression analysis, analysis of variance, and experimental design. The student is introduced to least squares, the matrix approach to linear regression, the examination of residuals, dummy variables, the polynomial model, best regression equations, multiple regression, and mathematical model building. Statistical software is used for the data analysis. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and design of experiments including one- and twofactor analysis, randomized block designs, and Latin squares are covered. Both the ANOVA and regression approaches to these concepts are introduced, as well as the appropriate nonparametric alternatives.
