Introduction to Statistical Methods

Fall 2012

Course Project

 

The course will include a short project. The project will be completed in pairs.

 

The project will have three due dates

á      November 15 – Prepare a 1-page proposal. This page will have the title of the project and the participants. It consists of a description of the project and the nature of the data. In addition, the proposal will include an expert who will help with the project. This expert can be either the course instructor or assistant.

á      November 29 – Submit a 3-page preliminary report. This report will have a more complete background to the project, a presentation on relevant summaries of the data, and some inferential question – estimates or hypotheses – that will be included in the final report.

á      December 12 – Submit a 5-page final report. The final report will do necessary editing to the preliminary report, add the analysis of the inferential questions and prepare a discussion of summary. You can keep to a simple outline – Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion.

 

 

Writing Lab Reports from Stat Labs: Mathematical Statistics Through Applications by Terrence Speed and Deborah Nolan is a good guide.
