Computer Labs
Each week we will have a computer lab to explore further the
principles of data analysis. The links below go to each lab.
Advice for being efficient in labs:
The first time you use a generic data analysis tool (e.g., a
histogram or regression), the lab instructions will include the
relevant
JMP commands for using that tool. Subsequent labs will use data
analysis tools from previous labs, but instructions will not be
repeated. I recommend that you maintain a list of JMP commands
for
each analysis, adding to it after each lab you complete. That
way,
you have a handy reference sheet available, which will save you
tremendous amounts of time when doing the labs and the final project.
