Subject Information
Links down this column of the page refer to requirements
and assignments for 17.871 in the Spring of 2006. I have also archived
the class material from Fall
1999 and Spring
2001, when the class was numbered 17.801, and Spring 2002 and
Spring 2003. In Spring 2004 and Spring 2005, the class was
on Stellar, which means (alas), it is not generally available to browers.
[This is what happens when instructors turn over the web presence of their subjects to canned software.] This
class also has an OCW
page.
Syllabus and class schedule
For February 16, read chapters 1-3 in Kohler and Kreuter, Data Analysis Using Stata.
The book has arrived at the Coop, so I have removed the pdf pages. Right click on
