Further information on descriptions Description: Aims:
To understand and apply linear, generalised linear and mixed effect models (GLMM).

Learning Outcomes:

* choose an appropriate generalised linear mixed model for a given set of data;
* fit this model, select terms for inclusion in the model and assess the adequacy of a selected model;
* make inferences on the basis of a fitted model and recognise the assumptions underlying these inferences and possible limitations to their accuracy.

Skills:
Problem solving (T, F, A), computing (T, F, A), written communication (F, A).

Content:
Multiple linear regression: inference techniques for the general linear model, diagnostics, transformation and variable selection. Generalised linear models: exponential family of distributions and inference procedures. Logistic regression and log-linear models. Mixed effect models: hierarchical and grouped data, nested and crossed designs.
