Course Objective

This course aims to provide students with an understanding of the theory and application areas of generalized linear models and to provide students with applied skills. Thus, the student can recognize generalized linear models, construct, analyze and interpret different models for different exponential family distributions.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Recognizing exponential family distributions
2   To explain the basic concepts of generalized linear models
3   To recognize the characteristic structure of generalized linear models
4   Constructing and interpreting the generalized linear models
5   To understand the theoretical background of logistic regression models and to construct and interpret logistic regression models for different data sets
6   To understand the theoretical background of Poisson regression models and to construct and interpret logistic regression models for different data sets
