Course Material:

Lecture notes represent the examinable parts of the course; there is
no textbook. The statistical prerequisite for the course is
equivalent to Ch. 1-13 and Ch. 18, 19 of "The Statistical Sleuth" by
Ramsay and Schafer, Duxbury Press, 1997. Other chapters in the book
provide good background reading for the statistical methodology
presented in this course.
