1 Preface

This is a book written in Markdown for ALS6502C at the University of Florida, instructed by Dr. Phil Hahn (). Currently, this is a draft version and is still a work in progress.

This book is meant to be used in conjunction with the class lectures and is not meant to replace lectures. With that being said, this book is written to be semi-standalone and to provide students to review the material. Please visit to course canvas page for syllabus and additional materials.

  • Analyze, visualize, interpret, and report the results of statistical models using formats acceptable for publication.

  • Critique results of analyses reported by peers and in the literature.
