STA427 Advanced Statistical Modelling (8)

This subject provides specialised knowledge in order to perform advanced statistical modelling through a range of generalised regression analyses and spatial analyses. The subject will focus on generalised linear models based on the exponential family of distributions, including the Binomial, Poisson and logistic regression, and highlight some basic techniques for spatial data analysis. A feature of this subject will be the analysis of practical problems with real life data using modern computer packages, and interpretation of results for a variety of audiences.
