Remarks:
Medical document is required to evidence the missing of a

homework due time, the midterm, or the nal is due to
illness.
When applied, the credit will then be recovered by

re-weighting the score at the nal exam.
COURSE EVALUATION Homework (14%: seven
assignments)
Assigned in Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13: the

assignments will be posted at the courses web page and
emailed to the classs email list.
Collected by 17:30 on Thursdays of Weeks 2, 4, 8, 10, 12

and 14, Monday of Week 7: using the drop-boxes labeled
with STAT-475/675, outside the statistics workshop
Late homework is not accepted: if the delay is due to illness,

provide med note and hand in the homework for credit.
Marked HW will be returned at the tutorials of the

following week: key answers to the homework questions
will be posted in the course web page before the tutorials
COURSE EVALUATION Midterm (26%: two
midterms; 13% per test)
Midterm 1: at the 2nd class on Feb 6 (Thursday of Week

5); covering Parts I and II (Topics 1-3)
Midterm 2: at the 2nd class on Mar 20 (Thursday of

Week 11); covering Parts I to III (Topics 1-5)
Open-book and calculators allowed
No makeups for midterms: if the missing is due to

illnuess, provide a med note to recover the credit by
re-weighting the nal score accordingly.
COURSE EVALUATION Final Exam (60%; 40% for
STAT-675)
You need to pass the nal exam to pass this course.

Ocial exam conict?

COURSE EVALUATION Final Project (20% for
STAT-675 only)
Topic to be assigned in Week 11
Project to be collected by Week 14

Why to study STAT-475/675?
Recall Statistics is the science of learning from data.
Data: observations of variables
categorical vs quantitative variables (arithmetic operations?)
discrete vs continuous variables
Tons of categorical/discrete data: how to analyze them?

= STAT-475/675
What to study in STAT-475/675?
Focus on categorical responses
about one, two or more categorical variables (Parts I and II)
about relationship of one categorical response with explanatory

variables (Parts III and IV)
Statistical modeling and methods for analyzing categorical

data
How to study STAT-475/675?
Follow the basic ideas of modeling/methods
know when to use what procedures
able to implement the statistics methods via R
able to interpret the analysis results
understand the theoretical derivations*
Master the basic inference procedures
the basic statistics procedures studied in STAT-285 and STAT

350, or STAT-201 and STAT 302/305
the method for the simplest case in a class of problems

Dont fall behind.
Recall: Data Analysis Exploration and Inference
Statistical Thinking (The Basic Practice of Statistics, 6th Edn,
by Moore et al.)
Data are numbers with a context.
Where the data come from matters.
Always look at the data.
Beware the lurking variable.
Variation is everywhere.
Conclusions are not certain.

Can we go beyond the data?
What will we study in the next class?
Part I. Introduction and Review (Chp 1)
Some Basic Concepts (Chp1.1)
Review: Distributions, Inference Procedures (Chp1.2 and

STAT-201/270/285)
