Overview
Participants in this programme will examine various ways in which linear models can be found in specific data contexts. Modern techniques like shrinkage estimators and non-linear modelling will also be introduced to mitigate the deficiencies of plain linear models in an applied setting.
This module is part of a sequential programme and is not available on a standalone basis.
Learning Objectives
- Understanding the need for alternative modelling techniques like shrinkage estimation and Decision Trees to address the deficiencies of Linear modelling
- Application of alternative modelling methods to iterate upon and improve the inference and prediction performance of a previous linear modelling step
Topic/Structure
- Use data visualisation and error analyses to identify issues with linear models for a given modelling situation
- Use of Linear models, shrinkage estimators and Decision Trees as numerical alternatives to performing Exploratory Data Analysis
Assessment
- Individual assessment
