Learning objectives

An introduction to the fundamentals of generalized regression models will be given in this course, with a focus on models for count, binary, and categorical data. These types of response variables are widely used in industrial applications as well as observational and experimental research.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
• Describe the general structure of a GLM and similarities and differences with linear models
• Estimate and interpret a logistic regression model
• Estimate and interpret a Poisson regression model
• Know of issues and some strategies for dealing with overdispersion in some generalised linear models (GLMs)

Prerequisites and basic notions

This course assumes a good understanding of probability and mid-level knowledge of linear regression theory.

Program

The course covers methods for regression analysis of responses that do not follow the normal distribution, especially of discrete responses. We will learn to understand some of the common statistical methods for fitting regression models to such data. In particular, we will consider logistic regression, Poisson regression and log-linear models. The lecture focuses on the development, theoretical justification, and interpretation of these methods.

When and where

Teaching forms mainly consist of lectures (8h) and exercises proposed by the teacher. The teaching material (slides of the theoretical lessons) is made available to the students on the e-learning web page of the course (Moodle platform). Lessons will be delivered via Zoom. Full attendance is required.

Learning assessment procedures

There is no exam

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Assessment

There is no exam, hence there is also no definition of the evaluation criteria.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

There is no grade because there is no exam.

Review of the general linear model: assumptions of the linear model (independence of observations, homoskedasticity of errors, linearity of coeffiicents) , least squares estimation and maximum likelihood estimation. Main features of the genralised linear model: i) the probability distribution function of the random component of the response variable belongs to the exponential family, ii) a differentiable and monotonic link function relates the mean of the response variable to the linear predictor, a linear combination of coefficients and explanatory variables.
