DESCRIPTION:Generalised linear models are the kind of models we would use i
 f we had to deal with non-continuous response variables. For example\, thi
 s happens if you have count data or a binary outcome.\n \nThis course aims
  to introduce generalised linear models\, using the R software environment
 . Similar to [Core statistics](https://www.training.cam.ac.uk/bioinformati
 cs/course/bioinfo-coreStatsR) this course addresses the practical aspects 
 of using these models\, so you can explore real-life issues in the biologi
 cal sciences. The ''Generalised linear models'' course builds heavily on t
 he knowledge gained in the core statistics sessions\, which means that the
  Core statistics course is a firm prerequisite for joining.\n \nThere are 
 several aims to this course:\n \n1. Be able to distinguish between linear 
 models and generalised linear models\n\n2. Analyse binary outcome and coun
 t data using R\n\n3. Critically assess model fit\n \nR is an open-source p
 rogramming language so all of the software we will use in the course is fr
 ee. We will be using the R Studio interface throughout the course. Most of
  the code will be focussed around the ''tidyverse'' and ''tidymodels'' pac
 kages\, so a basic understanding of the tidyverse syntax is essential.\n\n
