Textbook: Hair et al, Multivariate Data Analysis, 7th ed. Prentice Hall
Course objectives:
At the end of the course the student will have:
1) Learned the basic concepts and techniques of multivariate statistical inference.
2) Learned to apply these basic techniques to real situations
These skills will prepare you for more advanced work in your major, either in college or on the job. Emphasis is on Logit Analysis, Discriminant Analysis, MANOVA(including repeated measures), Canonical Correlation, Factor Analysis and Cluster Analysis. Projects may be done with either SAS or R.
Attendance and Make-up Policy:
In general, students are expected to attend class and are responsible for any material discussed and/or assigned. With respect to make-up, the general policy is no make-up of missed work (including exams) is allowed, and no late work will be accepted. The only exceptions are:
1) A prearranged situation (e.g., course field trips, athletic trip, etc.)
2) Emergency illness, death in the family, etc., in this case the instructor should be notified as soon as possible.
3) Contact the instructor early.
Performance Evaluation:
The performance evaluation will be based on a series of computer projects as indicated in the course outline. Each will count 100 points. All material handed in is in the public domain. This syllabus is a guide, not an absolute contract. The grading scale is 90%+ A, 80% + B,etc. Exams will have a variable number of points depending on content. Points will be announced prior to the exam.
