R: Regression Analysis in R
Tue 14 Mar - Wed 15 Mar 2017
Description
This course is for new users who have learnt how to get data into R already, and know how to operate basic syntax. Emphasis will be on examples of running applied analyses of regression models for continuous, binary and ordinal outcomes using standard R procedures. Half a dozen libraries will be introduced that enables importing of data and running of linear, binary, ordinal and nominal outcome regression models in R.
Prerequisites
- Working knowledge of R
- Familiarity with simple statistical concepts
