STA409 Extended Linear Models (8)
Abstract| This subject extends the linear model into situations involving non independent observations. Such correlated data arise in repeated measures, spatial data and time series observations. Advanced techiques such as REML and GLMMs will be covered, but the modifying constraint will be the availability of solutions in software that will allow familiarisation via empirical demonstations on selected problems. |

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
Be able to recognise situations in which data dependence is a key component;
Be aware of the consequences of lack of independence in data;
Appreciate the similarities and differences between various diverse applications of dependent data such as spatial statistics, time series and repeated measures;
Be able to analyse basic dependent designs for repeated measures and variance components via available software;
Be able to test any assumptions involved in the use of the techniques;
Be able to report the results of analyses. |
