Course Descriptions
MTH360
Quantitative Statistical Methods with Applications
Statistical concepts that build on those introduced in previous statistics courses, such as MTH160, Elementary Statistics with Computer Applications. This course develops widely used multivariable statistical methods. Topics include a review of basic inferential statistical concepts, an introduction to regression analysis, simple linear regression, multiple regression and correlation, univariate and multivariate analysis of variance, model building, regression pitfalls, residual analysis, logistic regression and time series modeling. Optional topics include principles of experimental design and analysis of variance for designed experiments. Statistical software and a graphing calculator are used extensively for computations. A student project is an integral part of this course. Numerous applications will be examined from a variety of fields including health, science, and engineering, among others. Prior computer experience is assumed. Students who have not successfully completed MTH160 should see the instructor prior to scheduling this course. 4 Credits (3 Lecture - 3 Lab)
Prerequisite(s): CSC104 and MTH160 or CSC110 and MTH160. As needed.
