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 using R'' course bui
 lds heavily on the knowledge gained in the core statistics sessions\, whic
 h 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 dis
 tinguish 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 throug
 hout the course. Most of the code will be focussed around the ''tidyverse'
 ' and ''tidymodels'' packages\, so a basic understanding of the tidyverse 
 syntax is essential.\n\n\nIf you do not have a University of Cambridge [Ra
 ven account](https://legacy.raven.cam.ac.uk/auth/account/) please book or 
 register your interest [here](http://bioinfotraining.bio.cam.ac.uk/booking

 using%20R%20in-person).\n\nAdditional information\n\n* ♿ The training mi
 ght take place at the Craik-Marshall training room. This is located on the
  first floor and there is currently no wheelchair or level access. Please 
 put level access requirements in the "Special requirements" section\, so w
 e can take that into consideration when allocating the room.\n* Our course
 s are only free for registered University of Cambridge students. All other
  participants will be charged according to our  [charging policy](http://w
 ww.training.cam.ac.uk/bioinformatics/info/charging).\n* Attendance will be
  taken on all courses and a charge is applied for non-attendance\, includi
 ng for University of Cambridge students. After you have booked a place\, i
 f you are unable to attend any of the live sessions\, please email the [Bi
 oinfo Team](https://training.csx.cam.ac.uk/bioinformatics/info/contact).\n
