Announcements

Last updated on Tuesday, December 7, 2004

Course announcements (most recent first) are as follows:

• Happy holidays!
• Scores for the final exam, second project, and course grades are available here.
• Extra office hours: 12-5pm on Mon 12/6.
• There was a typo on assignment 14. It should have said that customer (a) perceives B and E to be different (not B and H as previously stated), and on the maps E and H are as far apart or even further apart than B and E (not B and H as previously stated). This has now been corrected, as well as a clarifying sentence inserted about the data (it has been transformed so that "1" corresponds to "very similar" and "9" corresponds to "not at all similar," just as in the restaurant example from class).
• Practice questions for the final exam are available from the handouts page. The questions on the final exam will be similar in style to these practice questions. Note however that the final exam will be longer (20 questions in total) and will cover all the techniques (not just conjoint and cluster analysis as in the practice questions).
• You can resubmit homeworks where you lost points up until the last day of classes - I can give up to half credit for lost points if your resubmitted homework is correct (e.g. if you originally got 5, you can increase this to a 7.5).
• Here are the SAS books mentioned in class:
  • The Little SAS Book, Delwich and Slaughter, ISBN 1590473337
  • Applied Statistics and the SAS Programming Language, Cody and Smith, ISBN 0137436424
  • Principles and Procedures of Statistics: A Biometrical Approach, Steel, Torrie, and Dickey, ISBN 0070610282
• Hint for question 2 on assignment 5: you need to "add rows" for products one, two, and three (click on each attribute box to select the levels), then make "inactive" the status of the experiment products (S1-S22) by clicking on "active" in each of those rows, then change the simulation model to "Logit."
• Scores for assignments so far are available here (your ID number is the one e-mailed to you on receipt of the first assignment).
• Additional resources are available at the text-book web-site.
• You can view class notes on the handouts page.
