Introduction to Statistics 3 - ANOVA and Multiple Regression

Last session of this course is June 1, 2012.  For subsequent sessions, please register for Statistics 3 - ANOVA and Regression.

Aim of Course:

To provide an easy introduction to ANOVA and multiple linear regression through a series of practical applications. Once you've completed this course you'll be able to correctly analyze studies with a single dependent variable and multiple independent variables. The course provides an introduction to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression such as you might find in a year-long or four-credit college course that also included the content of our Introduction to Statistics 1 and 2 courses. This course provides a transition to more advanced or specialized courses and also a broadened perspective for anyone teaching basic statistics, especially AP Statistics.

Prerequisite(s):

Course Program:

SESSION 1: Comparing more than two means

• Introduction to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
• Completely randomized designs
• Checking ANOVA assumptions
• The problem of multiple comparisons

SESSION 2: Two independent variables for ANOVA or regression

• The randomized block design
• Interaction in ANOVA
• Regression with two independent variables

SESSION 3: Multiple regression

• Inference for regression
• Binary (yes/no) variables
• Regression diagnostics
• Building the best model

Organization of the Course:

This course takes place over the internet at the Institute for 3 weeks. During each course week, you participate at times of your own choosing - there are no set times when you must be online. Course participants will be given access to a private discussion board. In class discussions led by the instructor, you can post questions, seek clarification, and interact with your fellow students and the instructor.

The course typically requires 15 hours per week. At the beginning of each week, you receive the relevant material, in addition to answers to exercises from the previous session. During the week, you are expected to go over the course materials, work through exercises, and submit answers. Discussion among participants is encouraged. The instructor will provide answers and comments, and at the end of the week, you will receive individual feedback on your homework answers.

Credit:
Students come to the Institute for a variety of reasons. As you begin the course, you will be asked to specify your category:

1. You may be interested only in learning the material presented, and not be concerned with grades or a record of completion.
2. You may be enrolled in PASS (Programs in Analytics and Statistical Studies) that requires demonstration of proficiency in the subject, in which case your work will be assessed for a grade.
3. You may require a "Record of Course Completion," along with professional development credit in the form of Continuing Education Units (CEU's).  For those successfully completing the course, 3.75 CEU's and a record of course completion will be issued by The Institute, upon request.

Course Text:

There is not a required text purchase for this course. All the course materials will be provided during the course.
