ST 344
Intro to Experimental Design
This course provides an introduction to two related areas of
statistics --- experimental design and survey sampling. Topics
covered in experimental design include randomization and
replication; completely randomized and randomized complete
block experiments; designs and analysis of variance (ANOVA)
tables for fixed, random and mixed effects models; and
efficiency of designs.
The survey sampling part of the course provides a basic
understanding of sample surveys and emphasizes the statistical
aspects of taking and analyzing survey samples. Topics include
common sampling methods such as simple random, cluster and
stratified sampling; sampling with unequal probabilities,
sampling weights; complex surveys and its application to
statistical modelling.
Prerequisites: ST260 or (ST259 and one of ST230, ST231).
Exclusions: MA344.
