Normal linear model, exponential family, iteratively-reweighted least squares, logistic regression, Poisson regression and log-linear models, other families of GLMs, analysis of deviance and model checking, residual analysis.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30 in JHE-A113
In January, all Friday classes will be held in the BSB-241 Computer Lab.
McCulloch, C.E. & Searle, S.R. (2001) Generalized, Linear and Mixed Models, Wiley.
This text gives a concise and thorough account of the theory while putting GLMs in the broader context of mixed models.Dobson, A.J. (2002) An Introduction to Generalized Linear Models, Second Edition, Chapman & Hall.
Dobson's text gives very a accessible account of the theory and is aimed at anyone who needs to use GLMs to analyse data.McCullagh, P. & Nelder, J.A. (1989) Generalized Linear Models, Second Edition, Chapman & Hall.
This is the authoritative original monograph on the topic; everything is there, but it is not always easy to follow.
Classes on January 7, 14, 21, & 28 will be held in the BSB-241 computer lab.
