This course is concerned with the theory and application of linear models. The first part of the course will focus on general linear model theory from a coordinate-free geometric approach. The second half of the course covers theory, applications and computing for linear models, and concentrates on modeling, computation and data analysis. It is intended as a core course for biostatistics PhD students and statistics PhD students.prereq: [[7405, concurrent registration is required (or allowed) in STAT 8101] or instr consent], calculus, familiar wtih matrix/linear algebra
