This course introduces the student to simple and multiple linear regression models, including analysis of variance. The course starts with an introduction to statistical modelling and then moves to the linear model. The following topics are covered: parameter estimation, statistical inference on the parameters, prediction, model selection and model assessment. The course also focuses on the interpretation of the models and their parameters and the correct use of the models and methods. The student will also learn to perform data analyses with linear models in statistical software (R / SAS) and to correctly report the results of the data analysis.
