Subject outline
Students will learn to design and analyse experiments in the life sciences and agriculture. The topics covered in this subject include a brief review of non-parametric methods; randomisation, blocking and randomised block designs; one-way and two-way layouts; multiple comparison procedures; fixed and random effects; mixed models; multiple linear regression; analysis of covariance; factorial designs; fractional factorial designs; and an introduction to cluster analysis. This subject makes use of the freely available software package R. STA3BS is co-taught with STA2BS. For STA3BS there is greater emphasis on inquiry with an expectation that students independently analyse some of the subject data.
