What is STAT1006 about?

This unit begins with an introduction to nonparametric methods for hypothesis testing. These methods are distribution-free analogues of parametric methods such as one- and two-sample t-tests that have been presented in introductory statistics units. The main part of the unit is devoted to linear regression, and it will include topics such as simple and multiple linear regressions, estimation by the method of least squares, diagnostic checking of models, analysis of variance, conventional as well as more contemporary methods of variable selection. Throughout, students will be using the R language statistical computing environment to carry out and document analyses in a reproducible manner.
