Course content
The aim of the course is to give the participants a deep understanding of regression analysis. Since regression analysis has a central place in the applied statistics, the participants would afterward be able to study other areas of applied statistics on their own.

The presentation of the subject will be conceptually oriented and nonmathematical as it is possible. The course will contain different aspects of regression analyses such as bivariate and multivariate regression, data visualization, curvilinear covariation, interaction effects, independent categorical variables, outliers and multicolinearity, as well as missing data.

There will be 20 hours of lectures spread over four weeks: (week number 17 - 20)
