Course for Honours Degrees involving Statistics.
The syllabus may change from year to year according to what other courses in Statistics are offered, but it is likely to contain most of the following topics.
1. Two-way and three-way classifications, blocking, interaction
2. Models with categorical and continuous variables, analysis of covariance
3. Generalized linear models for binary and count data
4. Repeated measures, emphasising the use of summary statistics
