Module overview
This is a postgraduate advanced module in applied statistical modelling designed to equip students with highly sought after employability skills in data analysis. The module will cover a wide range of statistical models including a revision of introductory statistics, linear regression, logistic regression, multinomial logistic regression, log-linear models, models for rates (Poisson regression), and ordinal logistic regression. Some theory behind the methods will be covered, although the emphasis is on the practical application of these methods using statistical software.
