Course/Module description:
Linear regression.
Course/Module aims:
To learn the theoretical basis of linear regression, as well as how to apply it in analyzing data sets.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
Define a linear regression model.
Compute the corresponding estimates and test statistics.
Construct a model appropriate for a given problem and set of data.
Apply the estimates and test statistics to analyze the data.
Perform the calculations using a computer.
Understand the geometrical interpretation of regression.
Attendance requirements(%):
0
Teaching arrangement and method of instruction:
The instructor will teach the theory and write on the board. In addition, he will display many examples with computer output (data sets, results of statistical analyses, etc.)
The tirgul will emphasize analysis of datasets using the computer.
Exercises and examples will be uploaded to the course's website
Course/Module Content:
Simple linear regression: Examples, formulation and interpretation of the model, estimation using ordinary least squares.
Multiple linear regression: Examples, formulation and interpretation of the model - defining explanatory variables, transformations, interactions. Estmation using ordinary least squares and maximum likelihood, multiple correlation coefficient, multicollinearity
The geometric interpretation of regression: subspaces, orthogonality, projections, Pythagorean Theorem. Distribution of the estimates and statistical inference. Verifying the appropriateness of the model - examining residuals, measures of influence, partial residuals, variance-stabilizing transformations.
Building models: Stepwise methods for choosing subsets of explanatory variables, multicollinearity, definitions of "good equations", the Cp statistic.
Models with dependent errors: Examples, formulation of a model, the likelihood function, estimation using weighted least-squares.
