STA2201S01: Applied Statistics II


This page is under construction. I will continue adding to it throughout the course.


Location and Time: Lash Miller Room 157, Thursday 10:10-1:00.

Instructor: Jerry Brunner (brunner@utstat.utoronto.ca).

Office Hours: Tuesday, Sid Smith 6026E, 11-1.

Phone: 416-946-7589

Text: Permutation Tests by Good is available at the bookstore. This will be the last topic we cover. Other references will be given thoroughout the term.

Evaluation (Revised): Mark will be based on weekly quizzes and homework assignments. There will be lecture but no quiz on the day of the last class meeting (Thurs April 12th).

The lowest quiz/assignment mark will be dropped. In addition, there will be an optional project that, if you do it, will substitute for your lowest remaining mark or your lowest two remaining marks, whichever will help you more. "Remaining" means remaining after your lowest mark has been dropped.

If the mark on the project is lower than your lowest remaining mark, turning in the project could hurt your mark. It is difficult to imagine this happening unless the project is really awful. Call it a theoretical possibility.

No late work will be accepted and there will be no makeups other than the project.
