19 Generalized linear models are an extension of the usual linear model, where the response variable may be discrete or have a skew distribution. The course covers the generic likelihood-based estimation and test theory of generalized linear models. The most important special cases, like logistic and log-linear models, are treated in more detail.
20
21 The course will be a balanced mixture of statistical theory and practical data analysis. R ([[http:~~/~~/www.r-project.org>>url:http://www.r-project.org||shape="rect"]]) is used for data analysis and simulations. Examples from application areas, such as epidemiology and physics, will be presented.

23 === Prerequisites ===
24
25 * Basics concepts of
26 ** mathematical analysis (derivatives and integrals)
27 ** matrix algebra (up to multiplication and inversion of matrices)
28 ** probability (random variables, standard distributions, expectation, variance, independence)
29 ** statistical inference (maximum likelihood, hypothesis testing).
30 * Knowledge of linear models is also useful.
