Model building via linear regression models. Method of least squares, theory and practice. Checking for adequacy of a model, examination of residuals, checking outliers. Practical hand on experience ...

In this module, we will introduce generalized linear models (GLMs) through the study of binomial data. In particular, we will motivate the need for GLMs; introduce the binomial regression model, ...

Generalized linear models (GLMs), as defined by J. A. Nelder and R. W. M. Wedderburn (1972), unify a class of regression models for categorical, discrete, and continuous response variables. As an ...

If Λ is nearly singular, then B cannot be accurately estimated. A two-step estimation procedure is proposed in which Λ is estimated from data on the measured predictors X and on prior information from ...
