Prerequisites
KREDITY_MIN(30) && ( M4122 Probability and Statistics II || M6130 Computational statistics )
Calculus, linear algebra. Probability and mathematical statistics, in particular theory of estimation and testing statistical hypotheses: at the level of the course M4122. Statistical software R: at the level of the course M4130.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The course offers an overview of linear statistical models as the fundamental tool of statistical analysis. Within one semester, the students encounter theory, software implementation, applications and interpretation.
Learning outcomes
After the course, the students
- are able to recognize the situations that can be addressed by linear models;
- are able to formulate and implement a model, and interpret the results;
- are aware of the limitations of the model;
- in a given situation, they are able to anticipate possible problems and avoid them by slightly modifying the procedure.
