| Description: |
(From JHU manual) First semster of a
general survey of statistical methodology.
Topics include descriptive statistics, probability models,
random variables, expectation, sampling, the central limit theorem,
classic and robust estimation of location, confidence intervals,
hypothesis testing, two-sample problems, introductory analysis
of variance, introductory nonparametric methods.
|
| Grades: |
Weekly homework and
a few Minitab projects (10% of grade), first midterm (25% of grade),
second midterm (30% of grade), and final exam (35% of grade).
Cumulative scores of 90%, 80%, 70%, and 60% represent letter
grades A,B,C,D, respectively. These thresholds may be lowered to
reflect the difficulty of the exams.
Scheduling of the exams will be done in class.
|
| General: |
Everyone is responsible for attending all lectures and hearing
all announcements.
Late homework
will not be accepted except in case of a medical emergency, in which
case I will decide how the grade may be made up. Exams may not
be missed for any reason except medical emergency (and similar),
in which case I reserve the decision of how the grade is to be made
up.
Plagiarism, cheating, and all forms
of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated at all, and will be dealt
with in accordance with the procedures outlined in the student manual.
You may discuss homework problems with other students in the class up
until the time you begin your writeup;
your writeup must be your own and must reflect your understanding and effort.
|
| Advice: |
Get to know some of the other students in the class. If you miss a lecture
you will then have access to lecture notes to cover the material you
are missing.
Keep up with the material. If you feel that you are falling behind
please visit me to explore ways to get back on track.
|
| Extra_help: |
You are welcome to visit me anytime. Additional help is available
through the teaching assistants. On the second floor of Whitehead Hall
there is a large room with a glass wall off the main hallway. This
is the room in which the TAs hold their office hours.
By departmental policy, ALL TAs HOLDING OFFICE HOURS--even if not assigned
to our course, as long as they are
departmental graduate students--are obligated to assist you to the best of their ability.
A heavy majority of TA's there will have the necessary background to help you.
A list of TAs and their office
hours is posted around the office of Dept of Applied Mathematics and Statistics,
and is updated when changes are made.
