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 using R](https://www.training.cam.ac.uk/bioi
 nformatics/course/bioinfo-coreStatsR) this course addresses the practical 
 aspects of using these models\, so you can explore real-life issues in the
  biological sciences. The ''Generalised linear models'' course builds heav
 ily on the knowledge gained in the core statistics sessions\, which means 
 that the Core statistics using R 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 count data using R\n\n3. Critically assess model fit\n \nR is 
 an open-source programming language so all of the software we will use in 
 the course is free. We will be using the R Studio interface throughout the
  course. Most of the code will be focussed around the ''tidyverse'' and ''
 tidymodels'' packages\, so a basic understanding of the tidyverse syntax i
 s essential.\n\n\nIf you do not have a University of Cambridge [Raven acco
