General description

The course covers different types of regression models, i.e. linear regression, logistic regression, survival analysis, Poisson regression.

Learning outcomes

After completing the course the students can based on the research question select a suitable analysis method for the data. Students understand the details of the various types of multipredictor regression models, as well as their limitations. Students are able to properly use and understand the multipredictor models. Students can conduct the analysis using statistical software R and interpret the results of the analysis.
