- Basic Inference.
- Hypothesis testing.
- Basic linear regression.
- Basic graphics.
- Interpretation of modelling outputs.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this course participants will:
-
Be able to model continuous outcomes by means of linear progression.
-
Be able to assess fit and usability through checking assumptions.
-
Be able to present results and to accurately interpret model summaries.
-
Have developed an understanding of the Generalised Linear Model framework.
-
Be able to model binary outcomes by means of a Logistic regression.
-
Be able to assess fit and usability through checking assumptions.
-
Be able to present results and to accurately interpret model summaries.
