Course description
The course covers Normal-theory regression (for continuous and categorical predictor variables), Poisson regression, logistic regression and survival analysis. Goodness-of-fit issues are discussed, as are model-building strategies. Developing a structured plan of analysis, to incorporate specific analytical tools around a set of research objectives, with an appropriate report structure is emphasised. This course may not be offered if the enrolment is less than 10 students.
