2. Course Introduction 

This is a core statistical course for both Statistics and Applied Statistics. Regression analysis is an important statistical method for discovering for the relationships amongst different variables. This course introduces statistical frameworks, analytical tools and some application of OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) regression models, weighted least-square regression, logistic regression models and generalized linear models. On completion of the course, students will be able to understand the type and nature of research questions and data that are suitable for regression analysis and know how to use statistical computing software package to manage and analyze data with regression models, interpret results of regression analysis, furthermore students will understand some limitations of the regression models and common pitfalls in using these models.
