Objectives
* Basic competences   - CB6: Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context.   - CB9: That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that sustain them to specialised and non-specialised audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.   - CB10: That the students have the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous. * General competences   - CG1: Ability to apply the techniques of analysis and representation of information, in order to adapt it to real problems.   - CG4: Synthesise the conclusions obtained from data analyses and present them clearly and convincingly in a bilingual environment (Spanish and English) both written and orally.   - CG5: Be able to generate new ideas (creativity) and anticipate new situations, in the contexts of data analysis and decision making.   - CG6: Use social skills for teamwork and to relate to others autonomously.   - CG7: Apply advanced techniques of analysis and representation of information, in order to adapt it to real problems. * Specific competences   - CE1: Apply in the development of methods of analysis of real problems, advanced knowledge of statistical inference.   - CE2: Use free software such as R and Python for the implementation of statistical analysis.   - CE5: Apply the advanced statistical foundations for the development and analysis of real problems, which involve the prediction of a variable response.   - CE6: Apply nonparametric models for the interpretation and prediction of random phenomena.   - CE10: Apply statistical modeling in the treatment of relevant problems in the scientific field. * Learning outcomes Acquisition of knowledge on: 1) statistical-mathematical foundations of the linear regression model; 2) comparison and selection of regression models; 3) extensions of the linear regression model (penalization, nonlinear models, models with dimensionality reduction, generalized linear models, etc.); 4) big data adaptations for generalized linear models.
