Teaching - Statistical Modelling

The current version of the lecture notes is available here. Note that starred sections are non-examinable.

Dr Pat Altham's webpage has some excellent notes on generalised linear models, as well as solutions to some past exam questions and links to further resources on R.

I have collected together some of the past exam questions here (far more than you need to do!). Please note that the expression for the deviance in 2012 Paper 1 5K is incorrect, and the "t value" in the R output of 2012 Paper 1 13K should be "z value". Furthermore, the rule of thumb for determining outliers according to Cook's distance in previous versions of the course was different and used the 90% quantile of the relevant F distribution rather than the 50% quantile we are using in the current version of the course. The following topics have not been lectured and are not examinable: understanding the output of anova applied to a single model. Also, we have not discussed exponential dispersion families as being generated by a fixed density function, though we have for exponential families. Please also don't forget to look at the example sheets during your revision.
