- Mathematical and Statistical Methods in Economics (programme ESF, N-KME)
- Statistics and Data Analysis (programme PřF, N-AM)
- Statistics and Data Analysis (programme PřF, N-MA)
- Course objectives
- The course introduces generalized linear models as a generalization of the linear model for situations, where the assumption of normality, linearity and/or homoskedasticity is violated. The course covers theory, software implementation, applications and interpretation, and lays foundations for the study of more advanced regression models.
- Learning outcomes
- After the course, the students
- are able to recognize the situations that can be addressed by generalized linear models;
- are able to choose, formulate and implement an appropriate model from this class, and interpret the results;
- to this aim, the students develop a deeper understanding of the theory of modelling, estimation and testing than what is sufficient for linear models;
- at the same time, the students are made aware of the limitations of generalized linear models and are offered an overview of the models that can be used in situations that cannot be addressed by generalized linear models. - Syllabus
