Course Overview

What You'll Learn

  • If you have a technical background in mathematics/statistics/computer science/engineering and or are pursuing a career change to jobs or industries that are data-driven, this course is for you.
  • Finally, we will learn how to perform model validation involving GLM.

If you have a technical background in mathematics/statistics/computer science/engineering and or are pursuing a career change to jobs or industries that are data-driven, this course is for you. Those industries might be finance, retail, tech, healthcare, government, or many others. The opportunity is endless. This course will focus on getting you acquainted with the generalized linear model (GLM) through the examples of logistic and Poisson regression. You will also see how simple and multiple linear regression relates to GLM using the link function. We will also study a regression technique that is robust to having outliers in the data. Finally, we will learn how to perform model validation involving GLM. After this course, students will be able to: - Determine which regression models to use based on the nature of the response variable. - Use regression technique which is robust to the presence of outliers. - Perform generalized linear regression using R by identifying the correct link function. - Interpret and draw conclusions on the regression model. - Use R to perform statistical inference based on the regression models.
