Linear Models - STA4803

Honours Year module NQF level: 8 Credits: 12
Module presented in English Module presented online
Co-requisite: STA4804
Purpose: About the module: The module seeks to provide the student with skills in the theory of linear models and to enhance their ability to formulate, analyse and model research problems using matrix algebra. The module provides insights to the theoretical underpinnings of models. The successful student will be able to contribute to the development of statistical software and in the application of techniques to real-life data. Students will be able to define various components related to algebraic matrices; derive distributions related to a particular matrix and conduct hypothesis testing under various assumptions.
