MATLAB® software is required to view and run the .mat files in this section.

Homework consists of problem solving and practise performing statistical tests. Many of the homework assignments involve some programming in MATLAB®. For a first class in statistics more insights into what the test is doing are gained by having the student do the necessary computations themselves, rather than rely upon statistical packages.
