    This document contains instructions for Assignment 5 of STATS 330 course at the Department of Statistics. It includes two questions analyzing motor vehicle accident and suicide data from Florida in 1988 and England/Wales from 1982-1996 respectively. For the first question, students are asked to input the accident data into R, construct a suitable data frame, fit a log-linear model, and compute conditional odds ratios. For the second question, students must make bar plots of suicide data by gender and month, fit appropriate log-linear models to determine if suicide distributions differ by month for males and females.
