Description

Version: 2.0 start 01 February 2021
 

Short description

The module introduces students to the basics of statistical modelling using linear regression analysis. Aspects of the model structure, inference, prediction, residuals analysis and model building, including variable selection, are examined in detail, both theoretically and in case studies.

Module coordinator

Ruckstuhl, Andreas (rkst)
