Generalized Linear Models and Nonparametric Regression

This course is part of Statistical Modeling for Data Science Applications Specialization

Instructor: Brian Zaharatos

What you'll learn

  •   Describe how to generalize the linear model framework to accommodate data that is not suitable for the standard linear regression model.
  •   State some advantages and disadvantages of (generalized) additive models.
  •   Describe how an additive model can be generalized to incorporate non-normal response variables (i.e., define a generalized additive model).

    This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The MS-DS is an interdisciplinary degree that brings together faculty from CU Boulder’s departments of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Science, and others. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the MS-DS is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience in computer science, information science, mathematics, and statistics.
