Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The following are the learning objectives for the Honours version, MAT-3-LSM; for this (Ordinary) version there is more emphasis on the technical, rather than conceptual elements, which will be reflected by a different examination.
1. Familiarity with simple linear regression and multiple linear regression.
2. Knowledge of the definition and properties of the Normal Linear Model.
3. Familiarity with some examples of the Normal Linear Model and ability to recognise other special cases.
4. Ability to use MINITAB for data analysis, particularly regression analysis and analysis of variance.
5. Ability to interpret the results of statistical analyses.
