Objective

The objective of the course is to extend your repertoire of approaches towards modeling beyond the standard linear model based approaches. Towards this objective we will examine the various assumptions made in a standard analysis, examine our options when our assumptions are different, and examine our options when these assumptions are relaxed. Along the way we will not only look at the application of different analytical methods but, we will also look at the theory behind these methods.
