I am now retired from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics.  It seems hard to believe I spent 30 years here - the time went quickly.  I have fond memories and will miss many of you.  Best wishes!


Contact information:  I am still reading my department email.

I thought it might be helpful to leave some of my class materials here for a while:

Teaching
Spring 2006
Stat 345 Elements of Math. Stat. and Probab.
Stat 539 Biostat. Methods II for Pub. Health & Med. Sci.

Teaching
Fall 2005
Stat 427/527 Advanced Data Analysis I
Stat 538 Biostat. Methods I for Pub. Health & Med. Sci.


GCRC:   I work part-time in retirement as a biostatistician in the General Clinical Research Center.  
Here is a
description of what Professor Emeritus Qualls and I do in the GCRC.


Statistics Software I Use Regularly (I'll probably stop updating this - it was current Spring 2006)
- There are many more I use only occasionally or not at all.
Package Documentation Availability (as far as I know) A few Useful Links
Minitab Online at Minitab (mostly installed with software, too) - CIRT Pod (public)
- ESC Pod South (public)
- Math/Stat dept. lab (not public)
- Med 2 classroom (not public)
- Room 226 HSC library (for MPH - not public)
- 4 special computers in HSC library (for MPH - not public)
Inexpensive rentals
Indiana University
The University of Reading
(Most links on the web are for obsolete versions, but the above are current)
R Full manuals install with software.  Also see link to left. - Free - put anywhere you want (free downloads on link to left for Windows, linux, Mac)
- Already in Math/Stat dept. lab (Windows) and all Math/Stat linux systems (unix)
UWaterloo
Millions of links are returned by Google.  Start at the  R home page.  
SAS Online at SAS (full manuals) - CIRT ESC Pod South (public)
- LOBO Lab (public)
- Math/Stat dept. lab (not public) 
Indiana University
UMass
UCLA
Splus Full manuals install with software.  Also see link to left. - Math/Stat SUN systems (unix)
- No public Windows copies
You'll find more links to R, and to a large extent R and Splus are interchangeable.
Stata Old-fashioned printed manuals (online help is not enough) - Room 226 HSC library (for MPH - not public)
- 4 special computers in HSC library (for MPH - not public)
