Samlæses med ST515

Prerequisites:
None

Academic preconditions:
The courses ST502 Statistical Modelling and ST519 Mathematical Statistics are recommended.

Course introduction
To gain knowledge about the principles, methods and applications of generalized linear models. Participants will learn to implement and to evaluate the methods in the statistical software R.

Expected learning outcome
  • reproduce key theoretical concerning elementary operations on random variables and random vectors, and to apply these to simple theoretical assignments, 
  • work with the concepts and models, 
  • understand and identify problems that can solved using generalized linear models, 
  • perform a practical data analysis with the techniques from the course, 
  • perform programming relevant to the content of the course in the statistical package used in the course, 
  • identify and interpret relevant information in the output and the statistical package used in the course, 
  • summarize the results of an analysis in a statistical report.
Subject overview
Natural exponential families; moment generating functions; variance functions; dispersion models; likelihood theory; chi-square, F-and t-tests; analysis of deviance; residual analysis; iterative least squares algorithm; normal linear models, logistic regression, analysis of count data, positive data.
