Learning outcomes
|
Goal of the subject will be to extend the knowledge gained from previous courses about statistis in R. The main topic of the courses will be to teach students how to construct linear, general linear and generalized linear models. I will try to explain advantages and limitations of the generalized linear models, lessons will focus on the flexibility in the specification of sytematic and random component of the model. Common mistakes linked with the construction and application of the generalized linear models will be explained. Students will also learn more complex statistical methods which can be used in the R program (generalized additive models, multivariate analyses, mixed and marginal models). Practical exercises will be used to practise the correct data analysis process. Residual diagnostic methods, autocorrelation analysis, model and factor selection methods will be practiced.
