Description

The unit discusses statistical modelling in general and in particular demonstrates the wide applicability of linear models.

The emphasis is on practical issues in data analysiswith some reference to the theoretical background. The unity of regression and analysis of variance models is fully exploited with the use of statistical packages for both model fitting and diagnostic testing.

Topics covered include multiple linear regression and generalised linear models.
