Course overview

To equip learners with practical experience in applying Generalized Linear Modelling (GLM) methods to real-world industry problems, fostering skills in data analysis using R programming language, teamwork, and communication. This course builds on the foundational linear modelling skills developed in probability and statistics and serves as a bridge to more advanced topics in statistical modelling.

Course learning outcomes

  • Apply statistical techniques to analyse real-world problems
  • Apply and interpret results from Generalised Linear Models (GLMS)
  • Perform data analysis using R programming language
  • Present statistical findings effectively through written reports and data visualisations
  • Evaluate project outcomes, reflecting on the assumptions, strengths and limitations of the statistical analyses that were applied to project data
  • Demonstrate ability to work collaboratively in a team to deliver project outcomes
