Description: | Aims: To complement MA30084 with practical applications of generalised linear models thorough analysis of real-life statistical problems. Learning Outcomes On completing the course, students should be able to * formulate a problem and carry out an exploratory data analysis; * apply the theory of linear and generalised linear models to real data; * use R for all aspects of data analysis; * present results in a suitable style. Content: Application of linear models and generalised linear models to practical problems and implementation in R. Formulating statistical problems. Choosing an appropriate method of analysis, model-building, verification of assumptions. Working with real-life data. Presentation of results in an appropriate format. Application of the above through tackling a variety of real-life statistical problems. |
