Award in Statistical Models for Regression and Classification

Award in Statistical Models for Regression and Classification

  • MQF Level 5
  • 10 ECTS

Course Overview

This unit delves into the essentials and complexities of statistical models specifically tailored for regression and classification tasks. It aims to equip students with a deep understanding and practical skills in employing both linear and logistic regression techniques, along with an array of classification algorithms like decision trees, random forests, and support vector machines. This comprehensive module introduces students to the theoretical underpinnings and real-world applications of key statistical models used in regression and classification. Starting with a robust theoretical foundation, the curriculum progresses to cover linear regression models, including both simple and multiple linear regression, and logistic regression for binary outcomes. Students will explore various classification algorithms, understanding their unique mechanisms and suitability for different types of data and problem settings.

Practical sessions will involve hands-on exercises where students apply these models to datasets drawn from finance, healthcare, and marketing, among others, to predict outcomes and classify data effectively. Special attention is given to the assumptions, limitations, and interpretation of results to ensure students can critically evaluate the efficacy of their models. Topics such as model validation, dealing with overfitting, and techniques for improving model accuracy through parameter tuning and cross-validation are integral parts of the course.
