Statistical Modelling and Experimental Design

• • Topics will be available to enrolled students in the subjects Learning Management System site approximately one week prior to the commencement of the teaching period.

You must either have successfully completed the following subject(s) before starting this subject, or currently be enrolled in the following subject(s) in a prior study period; or enrol in the following subject(s) to study prior to this subject:

one of

• UNE-SCI210-Introduction to Scientific Programming
• UNE-STAT100-Introduction to Statistical Modelling
• UNE-AMTH250-Computational Mathematics

Please note that your enrolment in this subject is conditional on successful completion of these prerequisite subject(s). If you study the prerequisite subject(s) in the study period immediately prior to studying this subject, your result for the prerequisite subject(s) will not be finalised prior to the close of enrolment. In this situation, should you not complete your prerequisite subject(s) successfully you should not continue with your enrolment in this subject. If you are currently enrolled in the prerequisite subject(s) and believe you may not complete these all successfully, it is your responsibility to reschedule your study of this subject to give you time to re-attempt the prerequisite subject(s)

Others

Candidature in the Diploma in Information Technology or the Diploma in Science. To enrol in this subject you will need to pass the Prerequisite/s. Please note as UNE results are released after the close of enrolment date, your enrolment into this subject will be withdrawn if you do not pass the prerequisite subject/s.

Additional requirements

• Equipment requirements - Headphones or speakers (required to listen to lectures and other media) Headset, including microphone (highly recommended) Webcam (may be required for participation in virtual classrooms and/or media presentations).
• Software requirements - Please refer students to link for requirements: http://www.une.edu.au/current-students/support/it-services/hardware It is essential for students to have reliable internet access in order to participate in and complete your units, regardless of whether they contain an on campus attendance or intensive school component.
• Other requirements -

  Textbook information is not available until approximately 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the Teaching period.

  Students are expected to purchase prescribed material.

  Textbook requirements may vary from one teaching period to the next.

Are you interested in developing and applying statistical models for the natural or social sciences? Do you want to learn more about the principles of designing a data collection? This subject will help you develop the core skills and knowledge needed for experimental designs and applied statistical models that are used in many scientific fields. Studying this subject, you will learn to develop and analyse various types of linear regression models which are the foundation of many statistical analyses. You will also explore some common experimental designs such as factorial design and randomised block design. Focusing on both the theoretical and technical aspects of key statistical concepts, topics include multiple linear regression with quantitative and qualitative explanatory variables, polynomial regression and generalised linear models.

Assessment 1: Online Quiz: Simple Linear Regression and hypothesis testing. Students must obtain at least 40% for the assessments overall. Relates to Learning Outcomes 1, 3. Assessment 2: Multiple Regression. Students must obtain at least 40% for the assessments overall. Relates to Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3. Assessment 3: Model Building, Variable Screening and Residual Analysis. Students must obtain at least 40% for the assessments overall. Relates to Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3. Assessment 4: Generalised Linear Models. Students must obtain at least 40% for the assessments overall. Relates to Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3. Assessment 5: Experimental Design, Multi-factor Designs and Contrasts. Students must obtain at least 40% overall. Relates to Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3. Final Examination: 2 hrs 15 mins.
