Old News

Week of 2-2: Continue general review and analytic review, Answer some review some questions not otherwise addressed. Readings: Howell chapter 15 on MR (available as handout if you do not still have the text). American Psychologist article on modern approaches to data analysis.

News: Notes added and more to come. First article critique due 2-16. Also don't forget to bring a short paragraph summary of your strengths/weaknesses in understanding MR (aka pop quiz fallout). Upcoming Principal Components Analysis.

Related Readings: Howell chapter 15 on MR (available as handout if you do not still have the text). Upcoming: Harrell's chapter on validation (particularly the parts describing the different approaches though the rest serves primarily as a technical reference). As we will use R for demonstration at some point on Monday, please refresh the basics here Intro to R.

News: Notes added and more to come. MR article critique due 3-2. Bring final questions you have regarding MR to class on Monday.

Week of 2-23: Advanced regression techniques. ANCOVA. Intro to PCA.

Related Readings: There is little that chapters on ANCOVA in typical texts provide that you can't get from initial returns web searches, however for a more in depth approach see Rutherford, A. (2001). Introducing ANOVA and ANCOVA, a GLM approach. Those with Howell would also do well to see Chapter 16.

For PCA, the Lattin, Carroll, Green handout (don't worry with the mechanics section if you don't want, I will provide supplementary notes and their text is designed specifically such that you can pass over it without too much loss of continuity). Future: Canonical correlation (Thompson article available).
