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. After the course the students are expected to recognize the situations that can be addressed by linear models, formulate and implement the model, and interpret the results. At the same time, the students are made aware of the limitations of the model and should be able to recognize and possibly avoid problems in a given situation.
Syllabus
