APTS – Statistical Modelling – Preliminary Material

Linear and generalised linear models: A student who has covered Chapters 8 and 10.110.4 of Statistical Models by A. C. Davison (Cambridge University Press, 2003) will be more than adequately prepared for the APTS module. For students without access to this book, the main theory is repeated below. The inference methodology described is largely based on classical statistical theory. Although prior experience of Bayesian statistical modelling would be helpful, it will not be assumed.
