Requisites: | Before taking this module you must take XX50215 |
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. |
Aims: | To understand and apply linear, generalised linear and mixed effect models (GLMM). |
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. |
