If you have a technical background in mathematics/statistics/computer science/engineering and or are pursuing a career change to jobs or industries that are data-driven, this course is for you. Those industries might be finance, retail, tech, healthcare, government, or many others. The opportunity is endless.
This course will focus on getting you acquainted with the generalized linear model (GLM) through the examples of logistic and Poisson regression. You will also see how simple and multiple linear regression relates to GLM using the link function. We will also study a regression technique that is robust to having outliers in the data. Finally, we will learn how to perform model validation involving GLM.
After this course, students will be able to:
- Determine which regression models to use based on the nature of the response variable.
- Use regression technique which is robust to the presence of outliers.
- Perform generalized linear regression using R by identifying the correct link function.
- Interpret and draw conclusions on the regression model.
- Use R to perform statistical inference based on the regression models.
In this module, you will learn the differences between logistic regression and ordinary linear regression, how to obtain the regression parameters using the maximum likelihood method, and use R to compute the estimators of a linear regression model and give a probabilistic prediction of Y=1 given X=x’s. There is a lot to read, watch, and consume in this module so, let’s get started!

This module contains the summative course assessment that has been designed to evaluate your understanding of the course material and assess your ability to apply the knowledge you have acquired throughout the course.
Illinois Tech is a top-tier, nationally ranked, private research university with programs in engineering, computer science, architecture, design, science, business, human sciences, and law. The university offers bachelor of science, master of science, professional master’s, and Ph.D. degrees—as well as certificates for in-demand STEM fields and other areas of innovation. Talented students from around the world choose to study at Illinois Tech because of the access to real-world opportunities, renowned academic programs, high value, and career prospects of graduates.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
