Course Specifications 611

This document provides the course specifications for AS611 Linear Models, a 3-credit hour master's level course offered by Cairo University's Applied Statistics & Econometrics Department. The course aims to provide students with an overview of linear models, including understanding their importance and distinguishing between different types. Students will learn estimation methods, model assumptions, and how to analyze applications in SPSS. Assessment includes weekly coursework, a final exam, and a semester paper, weighted 75%, 20%, and 5% respectively. The course references both essential and recommended textbooks on linear models and statistical sampling theory.
