STATISTICS MODULES

 

Generalized Linear Models

 

Dates:  28 - 29 June 2010

 

In this module we study how to analyze data that are not normally distributed. We look at fractions (logistic regression), counts (Poisson regression, log-linear models), ordinal data (threshold models), and overdispersion. We discuss (quasi-) maximum likelihood estimation and the deviance. In computer practicals participants can familiarize themselves with models and methods.
