Multiple regression and regression diagnostics. Generalised linear models; the exponential family, the linear predictor, link functions, analysis of deviance, parameter estimation, deviance residuals.

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, ...

Liang & Zeger (1986) introduced a generalised estimating equations approach based on a `working' correlation matrix to obtain consistent and efficient estimators of regression parameters in the class ...
