So I have a phone interview at Apple tomorrow. Are there any tips on what part of statistics I should review?

I guess it wouldn't be helpful to do computations with matrix equations or derivations, but focus more on the concepts?

I suppose I can review linear regression and logistic regression. Not sure if longitudinal regression or survival analysis would be overkill.

Congrats on the interview! Apple seems like it would be a fun place to work.

I'm of no help on your technical questions, but I do know that Apple likes to mix in a few non-technical (sometimes off-the-wall) questions to see how you handle them. Here's a Google search with some pages you might want to skim through. I don't think you should spend a lot of time reading through the pages, but it probably would be good to see the kinds of unusual questions you might get asked in addition to the technical questions...
