Exam 02
Overview
Exam 2 (the final exam) will be held on May 18th at 2pm in Statler 185. It will be a 120 minute in-person, timed-exam.
The exam will largely focus on statistical/machine learning techniques from lecture 16 (linear regression with a single predictor) through the final day of class. While some topics or methods may appear from the first-half of the course, the exam heavily focuses on the second-half of the course.
It will consist of a series of multiple choice, short answer, and free response questions. Questions are designed to evaluate your knowledge of core statistical concepts, apply appropriate techniques given a research question, and interpret the results of statistical analysis (e.g. descriptive statistics, linear regression, logistic regression, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, performance metrics).
