Where STAT-2103 counts

Required by 2 programs:

  • STAT 4-YEAR BA/BSc IN STATISTICS
  • STAT 4-YEAR BA/BSc IN STATISTICS

Counts toward 1 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

  • STAT 3-YEAR BA/BSc IN STATISTICS

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course provides students with the underlying concepts and techniques for applying biometrical procedures to problems arising in biological and medical research. Topics include basic experimental designs and models for one-factor analysis of variance, multiple comparison procedures, data transformations, introductory multiple linear regression analysis, analysis of count data, Poisson index of dispersion, inference about the Poisson parameter, analysis of proportions, analysis of covariance with one factor and one covariate, and biological assay (analysis of quantal response, probit and/or logit transformations, parallel line assays and slope-ratio assays. Logistic regression with one regressor variable may also be covered.

Requisite courses

STAT-1302 or STAT-2001 [prerequisite(s)].
