Source document. This page reproduces the syllabus this course was written to, as published — its semesters, credits and paper numbers are that document’s, not this site’s. The course itself is studied on its own, in any order.

This page reproduces the prescribed outline so that the teaching pages can be checked against it line by line. It is the syllabus, not a summary of it. Nothing about marks, duration or examination pattern appears on this site.

Note, as Printed

THE PRACTICAL RECORD

Practical Record should contain all practical's with their implementation and is Mandatory and it carries 5 Marks. The Semester end practical exam contains answer any two with their implementation out of four Questions. (Answer any two out of the four)

Where the Theory Is

EIGHT OF THE NINE AREAS ARE TAUGHT ELSEWHERE ON THIS SITE

The course home page maps each prescribed area to the pages that derive it. Only item 1 — the SPSS interface itself — and three parts of item 7 — model selection, logistic regression and probit analysis — are written from scratch on the practical page; the rest is linked, not repeated.
