SYLLABUS
Regression Methods, 7,5 ECTS Credits
 
COURSE CATEGORY   Single Subject Course
MAIN FIELD OF STUDY   Statistik - STA
SUBJECT AREA  
  COURSE CODE   732G28
AIM OF THE COURSE
After completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- employ regression models to examine relationships between random variables and derive linear predictors and classifiers from given data sets,
- assess the quality of given data sets and the generalization capacity of identified statistical relationships,
- account for widely used methods for regression analysis,
- account for selection, estimation and validation of regression models.
CONTENTS
The course provides basic skills for professional work in which data are explored, modified, modeled and assessed by the use of different regression models.
The course content comprises practical as well as theoretical elements, for example:
- computer exercises,
- simple and multiple linear regression, logistic regression, Poisson regression,
- point and interval estimation and significance testing of model parameters,
- multicollinearity,
- residual analysis,
- model selection based on hypothesis testing and information criteria.
TEACHING
Computer exercises in which the students have access to supervision provide practical experience of data analysis. The teaching comprises lectures/tutorials and computer exercises. The lectures/tutorials are devoted to presentations of theories, concepts, and methods and reviews of computer exercises. Language of instruction: English.
EXAMINATION
Assignments encompassing computer-based data analysis. One final written or oral examination.

Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course two times are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.

Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.
