Currently included in this program is the "technical" program, schedule of invited, topic contributed, regular contributed and poster sessions; Continuing Education courses (August 7-10, 2005); and Committee and Business Meetings. This on-line program will be updated frequently to reflect the most current revisions.

Title:	Statistical Modeling as an Introductory Course

Abstract:	We have developed a new introductory statistics course oriented to undergraduates in biology and social sciences. The course is based on the construction and interpretation of statistical models; it emphasizes multivariate techniques such as multiway ANOVA and multiple regression, including logistic regression. These techniques are made accessible to undergraduates by using a straightforward geometric interpretation of regression and ANOVA. The mathematical prerequisite is a single introductory calculus course that, unlike the traditional Calc I, teaches multivariate topics oriented toward modeling and statistics. The response of students has been extremely positive as the modeling approach enables them to address complicated and realistic questions using the statistical skills they gain in the course.
