A 2 day course on Monday/Tuesday 28th & 29th October 2019.

This is the first of two related courses that consider generalized linear models as a broad class of statistical models that can be applied to a variety of commonly encountered data analysis problems in the social and biological sciences.

This course introduces the basic linear model, extends it to the general linear model, then builds up to the concept of a generalized linear model.

The use of categorical (factor) explanatory variables, continuous covariates and their interactions to build a flexible class of relationships will be considered.

The course will also introduce the software package R as a tool for such statistical analysis.

On this course the focus is on simple linear regression and multiple linear regression where we model a continuous dependent variable. The second related course is Modelling Binary and Count data (GLM II).

Important please note:

We will make every attempt to accommodate Lancaster University staff and postgraduate research students on our courses. However, if a course becomes fully booked we reserve the right to give priority to students on the MSc in Statistics, MSc in Data Science, and external participants.
