The course teaches you to decide which model is the most appropriate in the different applications that may occur and to assimilate the content in scientific papers on generalized linear models. You will also develop your skills within oral and written presentations of results of your analysis.
The concepts that are more thoroughly treated are: Likelihood-based inference. Models with different link-functions and distributions, such as models for discrete data. Binary regression. Analysis of contingency tables. Introduction to log-linearmodels. Estimation and model adjustment. Residual analysis. Practical examples from different fields ofapplication.
