Learning outcomes
The topic of the course are linear statistical models. The aim is to connect students existing knowledge of parametric statistics and to show these methods can be perceived as special cases of linear model. Students gain skills of a flexible and confident use of linear models to solve complex statistical problems.
Ability to design a statistical model, to estimate its parameters, to evaluate its quality, to perform related statistical tests, and to check its assumptions. The emphasis is on practical application of acquired skills in the context of psychological research is held.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of descriptive statistics and bacis tests of null hypotheses.
