In this module, we will introduce generalized linear models (GLMs) through the study of binomial data. In particular, we will motivate the need for GLMs; introduce the binomial regression model, ...

In the early 1970s, statisticians had difficulty in analysing data where the random variation of the errors did not come from the bell-shaped normal distribution. Besides normality, these traditional ...

We consider the estimation of variance components in a general analysis of variance model by use of residuals. Unbiased estimation by linear functions of squares and cross-products of residuals is ...
