NTHU STAT 5230 - Discrete Analysis
Feb ~ Jun 2024
Instructor
Institute of Statistics,
National Tsing Hua University
(鄭少為, 清華大學/統計所)
The course will include LECTURE and LAB. The lecture will be given on the basis of 3 hours a week (Monday, 1:20~3:10PM, and Tuesday, 11:10AM~12:00PM) in 綜合三館 room 834. The purposes of lab are for students to reinforce ideas learned in the lecture and to practice the skills of real-data analysis. Some video files will be used to teach and demonstrate the labs. Success in both lecture and lab are required to pass this course. The materials for teaching will be regularly posted on the course website (http://www.stat.nthu.edu.tw/~swcheng/Teaching/stat5230/index.php). The format for the course will be similar to STAT 5410 (Linear Model).
The overall goal of the course is to provide students with practical knowledge of how to analyze categorical data, and how to interpret and understand the results of that analysis. The topics to be covered in the course include:
The software I will be using for the course is R (S-plus is similar and will also work but is not free). R is free with Windows and Unix versions. You can download your own copy from its website and use it wherever you find convenient.
Reference
You are free to discuss the assignment questions with your classmates, but you must write up your answers individually. You CANNOT turn answers in as a group or simply reproduce a classmate's write up. Please DO NOT hand in your assignments in the format of including all details of R outputs. You should present your results in summary format only with R outputs that are required to support your answers. All homework must be submitted to our eLearn platform before the start of class on the day it is due.
