We are pleased to announce a new course offered in the Spring of 2018 – Flexible Regression using R – taught by Dr. Raymond Carroll

The course will cover many aspects of semiparametric regression, especially involving generalized linear models such as logistic regression, and including completely nonparametric regression, partially linear models, additive models and grouped data (including longitudinal data). Other topics will be discussed if time permits, including shape constraints, spatial models, robustness and accounting for missing observations. Multiple R packages will be used, including gamlss, nlme, mgcv, quantreg, refund, rstan, VGAM, scar and SCAM. The HRW package that the authors are creating will be used extensively.

Prerequisites: STAT 608. Credit 3
