BIOL 131 Advanced Topics in Statistics

Held concurrently with BIOL 59.02.  Most data sets contain measurements on multiple variables on each observation/object in the data set.  Special techniques are needed to deal with these multiple variables simultaneously, and take full effect of the covariances among the variables.  We will explore the techniques that are available to analyze such issues in these data sets, such as multivariate regression and analyses of variance, principal components analysis and other ordination techniques, factor analysis, cluster analysis, and discriminate functions.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
