Linear regression models are widely used in business administration, economics, engineering, and the social, health, and biological sciences. Successful applications of these models require a sound understanding of both the underlying theory and the practical problems that are encountered in using the models in real-life situations. In this second linear regression course, students will focus on validating and creating linear models as a means to investigate the nature of the relationship between sets of predictor variables and a particular response variable. The emphasis will be on validating the utility and appropriateness of models used in a number of divergent application areas. Validation of regression model building assumptions will also be explored. Diagnostics and remedial measures, including transformations, will be examined. Specialized regression techniques will also be presented. (Prerequisite: MATH325)
