STA335 Generalised Linear Models (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Mathematics and Statistics (MASTA)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject provides an introduction to generalised linear models by an overview of the unified approach dictated by the exponential form of the distribution. This overview is pursued into varied applications in diverse areas which appeared to be previously unconnected.
