| Qualifikationsziele |
The course focuses on estimating and evaluating regression models with the statistical software R. Model evaluation procedures discussed in class range from graphical methods, classic validation techniques and tests to simulation-based approaches. The course includes model selection (i.e., finding the best model from a large number of possible models), model validation (i.e., checking whether the presumed best specification satisfies the model assumptions), and model interpretation (for linearly and/or nonlinearly transformed variables). Additionally, different data structures such as cross-sections, time series, and panel data are shortly discussed. |
