Instructor: Sungkyu Jung

TA/Grader: Sung Won Lee

Course Web page: http://www.stat.pitt.edu/sungkyu/AAMA/

Important statistical methods and relevant theory for analyzing continuous multivariate data are introduced. The first half of the course examines traditional and fundamental topics in some depth, and the second half of the course surveys modern topics.
There is no prerequisite for this course. However, I assume students have working knowledge of probability, statistics and matrix algebra.

You may discuss the homework problems with fellow students. However, this does not mean that you can copy each others' solutions. If you do work in a group, all individuals are required to submit their own homework papers and also to include the names of persons you have discussed with. There is no penalty in working as a group.
