JMP: Statistical Decisions Using ANOVA and Regression

This course teaches you how to use analysis of variance and regression methods to analyze data with a single continuous response variable. You learn how to perform elementary exploratory data analysis (EDA) and discover natural patterns in data. Important statistical concepts such as confidence intervals are also introduced.

Learn how to use JMP software to

• Interpret confidence intervals.
• Perform hypothesis tests.
• Compare multiple population means with one-way ANOVA.
• Use simple linear regression to analyze relationships between continuous variables.
• Use the general linear model to build models between a continuous response and any number of continuous or categorical predictors.
• Assess interactions between factors and curvature.
• Evaluate assumptions of statistical hypothesis testing.
