Unit A Project Proposal - In your Unit A project, you should compare and contrast at least three possible models for a response variable of interest. After you describe the problem of interest and your data, you should use the choose, fit, assess, and use steps to make appropriate inferences and comparisons. Your analysis should include at least one formal inference (hypothesis test) and appropriate confidence intervals or prediction intervals. You may work with one partner on this Unit A project if you prefer. Your proposal should be sent to me via email on or before October 15 and include a short statement about your problem of interest, a description of your data, and a proposed date for your presentation to the class. Presentations will begin on Monday, October 20. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
