Now that you've got a good sense of how to "speak" R, let's use it with linear regression to make distinctive predictions. The R system has three components: a scripting language, an interactive ...

In this module, we will introduce generalized linear models (GLMs) through the study of binomial data. In particular, we will motivate the need for GLMs; introduce the binomial regression model, ...

The purpose of this tutorial is to continue our exploration of regression by constructing linear models with two or more explanatory variables. This is an extension of Lesson 9. I will start with a ...

Various methods have been proposed for smoothing under the monotonicity constraint. We review the literature and implement an approach of monotone smoothing with B-splines for a generalized linear ...
