Description

This module introduces the theory and application of generalised linear models. These models can be used to investigate the relationship between some quantity of interest, the 'dependent variable', and one or more 'explanatory' variables; how the dependent variable changes as the explanatory variables change. The term 'generalised' refers to the fact that these models can be used for a wide range of different types of dependent variable ,continuous, discrete, categorical, ordinal etc. The application of these models is demonstrated using the programming language R.
