PREREQUISITES

The formal prerequisite for the course is Probability Theory and
Mathematical Statistics (36-225/36-226).

In addition students should have taken, or be concurrently registered
for, a high level linear regression course such as 36-401.

One one hand, the course will be taught at a fairly high level---this
means I actually expect to be able to talk to you about statistics at
the level of 36-226 (calculus-based statistics) and 21-240 or 21-241 
(matrix algebra).

On the other hand, this course will have a very hands-on flavor.  We
are actually going to be doing computing in R and other packages.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need
additional information.
