Examination of regression techniques and assumptions used to develop static and dynamic equations of tree and stand attributes
Prerequisites: Any Introductory Statistics class with C or above or instructor approval.
The statistical theory will be discussed in the context of modeling and implemented in exercises and homework assignments. At the completion of the class the students will have a personalized library of models, as well as an extensive references to be used in subsequent analyses.
Accommodations for students with disabilities are determined and approved by Disability Access Services (DAS). If you, as a student, believe you are eligible for accommodations but have not obtained approval please contact DAS immediately. DAS notifies students and faculty members of approved academic accommodations and coordinates implementation of those accommodations. While not required, students and faculty members are encouraged to discuss details of the implementation of individual accommodations.
All materials used in this course are accessible on Box. If you require special accommodations, please contact Disability Access Services (DAS).
The Office of Student Conduct and Community Standards Student detailing university policies on conduct governs the class. The information can be accessed at http://studentlife.oregonstate.edu/sites/studentlife.oregonstate.edu/files/code_of_student_conduct.pdf.
Students are expected to comply with all regulations pertaining to academic honesty. For information on Academic Dishonesty you could contact the office of Student Conduct and Mediation. Academic or Scholarly Dishonesty is defined as an act of deception in which a Student seeks to claim credit for the work or effort of another person or uses unauthorized materials or fabricated information in any academic work or research, either through student's own efforts or the efforts of another.
Academic Dishonesty cases are handled initially by the academic units, following the process outlined in the University's Academic Dishonesty Report Form.
The grades will be computed as a weighted average between 7 assignments, a midterm, and one project. The weights determining the final grade are:
Numerical grades will be converted to letter grades using the following scale:

Each student will have to complete a project that consists of at least one model applied to a real dataset. The project could be based on the student research or I will provide the data. The project should be delivered as a standalone paper, fulfilling all the requirements for publication in a peer reviewed journal. To this end, the project should have an Introduction, which state the problem and the objective of the project. A separate chapter should be dedicated to data acquisition and post-processing, if there is a need for that. In the same chapter, or as a separate chapter, a section should be dedicated to modeling and model assessment. Following the modeling section / chapter is the Results chapter, where the main findings are presented. The Discussions expands the Results chapter by going into the details of the relationship between the overall objective and the model. The project should conclude with at least half page Conclusions.
