Objectivos
To introduce the foundations of Generalized Linear Models (GLM) and its applications. Provide skills for real-data estimation of GLM. Additionally, to introduce the main concepts of machine learning and some key algorithms. Provide skills to use appropriate software to apply machine learning techniques to simple real-data problems.
Programa
Generalized Linear Models: - Review of linear regression models - Generalized linear models: general overview - Inference - Examples of generalized linear models for continuous and discrete response - Quasi-likelihood and overdispersion Machine Learning: - What is machine learning - Branches of machine learning - Applications
Método de Avaliação
Lectures will alternate theoretical presentations of statistical models with data analysis performed with suitable software. The final grade, on a 0-20 scale, is awarded on the basis of a written exam and of a practical exam done on a computer using R. The mark on the written exam will be worth 70% of the final grade.
