This is a second semester course in applied statistics with an emphasis on program evaluation. The prerequisite for this course is one previous course in statistics. The course will focus on regression with a continuous variable and multiple independent variables. Students will learn how to apply multivariate regression to observational (as opposed to experimental) data in order to evaluate the effect of an independent variable an outcome of interest. Students will be assigned weekly homework and the capstone of the course will be a quantitative research paper on a topic chosen by the student.
