Learning outcomes
The course aims at equipping students with advanced statistical methods applicable in descriptions of natural and socioeconomic phenomena. The course deepens the grasp of linear regression by extending it fully to the multivariate case and reviewing diagnostics and advanced topics that arise in modelling. The course then summarizes basic multivariate statistical methods and gives an introduction to generalized linear models. Finally, the course makes a brief overview of Bayesian statistical analysis and contrasts it with classical (i.e. non-Bayesian) statistics. The ambition is to imprint on students an understanding of statistical thinking. Students are expected to gain practical skills by working with data in program R.
