Language(s) of instruction

French language

Organisation and examination

Teaching in the second semester

Schedule

Schedule online

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

The course concerns linear models : multiple linear regression, ANOVA, and an introduction to some generalized linear models. Depending on the time constraints, models used in more specific situations might be considered (eg: survival analysis, quantile regression).

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The student should be able to estimate, validate and interpret a mulitple linear model and an analysis of variance. He·She will be able to recognize situations when the usual hypotheses are violated.
 

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Courses of Statistics and Probability and linear algebra included in the program of Bachelor in Mathematics. Some basics of R are also recommanded.
 
 

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

- Theory will be exposed using some chapters of reference books.
- Exercises will have to be tackled on an individual basis
- Data analyses will be performed by means of two softwares (R and SAS).

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Blended learning


Additional information:

ATTENTION: this course is only organised every two years (see the section "organisational remaraks").
 
If the sanitary conditions are favorable, the lectures on theory will be organised face-to-face.
The exercises will have to be done at home. The resolutions or the encountered problems will be discussed from time to time during a lecture or a practical.
Some practicals (data analyses with R and SAS) will also be organised face-to-face.
 

Recommended or required readings

There is no lecture notes. The slides will be put on eCampus and for each chapter, some referece books will be suggested.
 

Assessment methods and criteria

Any session :

- In-person

written exam ( open-ended questions )

- Remote

written exam ( open-ended questions )

- If evaluation in "hybrid"

preferred in-person


Additional information:

The mak of the course will be based on two parts:
- Written exam on theory and exercises
- A personal data analysis (with a written report and an oral defense)
 

Work placement(s)

Organizational remarks

The course is only given on even academic years (20-21, 22-23,...) . Therefore, it will not be taught this academic year 2021-2022.
