Course contents:
Practical data analysis in R using various statistical methods followed by theoretical and practical interpretation of the results. The methods taught will be a collection from the following list:
- Multiple regression and regularization
- ANOVA,
- generalized linear models (logistic, poisson),
- classification (lda, qda),
- clustering,
- principal component analysis (PCA),
- mixed models, variance components
Learning outcome:
The students should know the assumptions, applications and theoretical background for the methods presented.
The students should master the use of R/ R Studio as a tool for practical data analysis. It will be emphasised that the students, to a given problem, should be able to formulate the problem in such a way that it can be analysed by means of suitable methods.
The students are able to decide which method(s) to use to model and analyse the problem, and to do the analysis. The students are also able to give the practical interpretation of and to assess the validity of models, methods and results.
