Students gain skills of a flexible and confident use of linear models to solve complex statistical problems.
Ability to design a statistical model, to estimate its parameters, to evaluate its quality, to perform related statistical tests, and to check its assumptions. The emphasis is on practical application of acquired skills in the context of psychological research is held.
