GENERALISED LINEAR MODELS

Module code: ST634
Credits: 5
Semester: 2
Department: MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
International:

	Overview
	Overview -------- Transformation of response and predictors, Box-Cox method, variance stabilizing transformation. Collinearity and variance inflation factors. Model selection: forwards, backwards and stepwise. All possible regressions, Mallow's Cp and PRESS. Categorical data methods. Generalized linear models, exponential families. Logistic regression for binary responses and Binomial counts. Loglinear models for Poisson counts, two- and three-way tables. ST634 is equivalent to ST304 (i.e. lectures and tutorials as for ST304).
