This is the web page for STAT 7 section 1 (fall 2019). The following abbreviations will be used here:

From DD to all STAT 7 students this quarter: due to the volume of email I receive, I can't guarantee quick response to any message you send; to ensure the fastest possible reply, please put STAT 7 student, Fall 2019 in the subject line of any email message to me.
The catalog description for STAT 7 is as follows:
Case-study-based introduction to statistical methods as practiced in the biological, environmental, and health sciences. Descriptive methods, experimental design, probability, interval estimation, hypothesis testing, one- and two-sample problems, power and sample size calculations, simple correlation and simple linear regression, one-way analysis of variance, categorical data analysis.
- (23 Sep 2019) Announcements will be posted in this section. The first Attachment section below will contain (scanned) PDF copies of the document camera notes; the second Attachment section will contain secure documents (if any are needed this quarter), available only by logging into the web page with your CruzID Blue password.
- (23 Sep 2019) The webcasts for the class are now up and running. To watch a video, go to webcast.ucsc.edu ; at or near the bottom in the Webcast Course List you'll find two rows that begin STAT 7 David Draper, one of which will give you access to the videos of the lectures and the other of which will have webcasts of DD's discussion sections on Mondays from noon to 1.05pm. In the right-most column of one of those rows under the heading Link, click on Video List; on the page you come to next, in the top yellow box type in the username for this course, which is stat-7-1 ; in the next yellow box type in the password for this course, which is data-science (two words linked by a dash, no spaces, all in lower case; if you click on the Remember me box, you won't have to type in the password from now on, as long as you're using the same computer each time); now click on the blue Login box and you're at the Course Webcasts page. To watch a video just click on it, and then click the right arrow on the left just below the video screen.
- (23 Sep 2019) Discussion sections for this class are as in the table below. You're required to attend one discussion section each week, in which you'll participate in the solution of some problems similar to those in the current lectures and assignments; at the end you'll get a quiz that's worth about 2% of your overall course score (you'll upload your solutions to the quiz some days later at canvas.ucsc.edu ).

Please note the correction of the typographical errors for DD's office hours listed in the introductory handout for the course: they will be right after lectures, from 1.30-3pm on Tue and Thu in Jack's Lounge. If that location becomes too crowded, a new location will be found and announced in class and by email.

If you find yourself struggling with the material in this class, the MSI tutoring sessions are a good way to get extra help, above and beyond what you get from the lectures, discussion sections, and office hours. Effective from 16 Oct 2019, the schedule for the MSI sessions for STAT 7 is as follows:
Day Time Location Mon 4-5pm Oakes Learning Center Wed 10.40-11.40am Oakes Learning Center Thu 9.50-10.50am LSS/HSI Conference Fri noon-1pm Oakes Learning Center
This service is free to you as a UCSC student; you can go to as many or as few of the MSI sessions as you want; but I if you're having trouble with the material, I highly recommend participating in the MSI program.
- (21 Oct 2019) I've (belatedly) chosen the official note-takers for the class: they are Melica Baboldashtian (MB) and Mary Carmen Gonzalez (MCG). I'll be posting their notes for all of the lectures in the next several days, and then we'll be up to date.
