Abstract:
|
The objectives of the second course in statistics at Oregon State University primarily target graduate students in fields other than statistics. We equip them with tools that enable them to use statistical software for data analysis problems they will encounter in their graduate research. We train them to read, understand, and critically evaluate statistical arguments presented in the literature of their fields. They are schooled in the principals of experimental design, and they practice writing statistical summaries of data analysis problems, with special emphasis on the scope of inferences allowed by the study design. The course also serves to motivate and prepare undergraduates who may enter graduate studies in statistics.
