Course content
he course will cover regression models that are widely used in solving problems related to the environment, including the modelling of indicators associated with important economic, social and environmental concepts, as well as in environmental monitoring. Simple linear regression model: least squares method, estimation, inference and prediction Multiple regression model: estimation, inference and prediction Multiple regression model: heteroscedasticity, model verification and measures of model quality Regression with qualitative explanatory variables Simple methods for panel data: pooling and differencing Advanced methods for panel data: fixed-effects and random-effects models Generalized linear model: logistic regression Generalized linear model: logistic regression for panel data

Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce students to regression models and their application in data analysis and in solving practical problems related to the environment and sustainable innovations.
Upon completion of the course, the student is able to: - apply basic regression models in data analysis, - assess the assumptions of a regression model, - interpret results in the context of the environment and sustainable innovations, - use regression analysis for prediction and decision-making support, - clearly present the results of the analysis.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of mathematical analysis.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral exam, Seminar Work

Credit: The student actively participates in seminars, independently solves assigned tasks. Exam: The student demonstrates knowledge and understanding of the course content during the oral examination.
