Browse Hierarchy MTH7021U: Applied Statistical Modelling

The module aims to provide the student with a solid understanding of the theory and applications of the General Linear Models as used in modern Statistical Applications. This framework of models consists of a generalisation of linear regression that includes more general response variables such as binary, multinomial, ordinal, Poisson random variables amongst others where the underlying parameters or a function of them depend in linear fashion of the input variables. The module will provide an introduction to the basic techniques, a review of basic linear regression and will progress onto how this model can be extended to more general random variables.
