Overview
Topics include generalized linear models; methods for handling incomplete data and censored data; survival analysis and methods for analysis of multilevel (including longitudinal) data. Applications to real world data.

Students who successfully complete the paper will be able to:
- Develop an appropriate statistical model for a research question, selecting from a range of regression models (generalised linear models, models for time to event data and multilevel models)
- Describe the characteristics of each type of regression model, including parameter estimation and interpretation, inference and model assumptions
- Carry out a statistical analysis using an appropriate regression model
- Provide clear and succinct written and oral reports on statistical methods and the results of analyses

F= max{E, 0.6E + 0.3A + 0.1P} (so plussage here)
E stands for the final exam mark, P stands for the project (including a presentation and a report), A stands for the assignments (four assignments in the semester).
