Research Data Workshop Series
Fitting Models to Data Not Data to Models Workshop Series: GLMs and GAMs in R
This six-part series introduces generalized linear models and generalized additive models as flexible extensions of ordinary linear regression. Participants will learn how response distributions, link functions, smooth effects, prediction, and grouped data can be incorporated into a statistical model. Emphasis is placed on selecting a model that matches the outcome, interpreting results on the correct scale, checking model adequacy, and communicating what the fitted model can support.
Register for one or all of the workshops using the links below:
- Part 1: Intro to Generalized Linear Models: November 24
- Part 2: Interpreting Generalized Linear Models: November 26
- Part 3: Intro to Generalized Additive Models: November 30
