A kurzus leírása

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the theory and methods of correlation, regression analysis (simple and multiple linear regressions, covariance analysis, nonlinear regressions, testing, estimation, diagnostics), and general linear mixed models. After the theoretical presentation of the methods, the students learn the modelling technique and the evaluation of the results with examples.
