Reviews the extension of linear models to generalized linear models. Includes exponential family models, link functions, and over-dispersion. Also introduces models and inferential methods for polytomous outcomes. Describes extension of models to account for clustering using explicit modeling via mixed effects framework and generalized estimating equations (GEE). Introduces methods and models for regression with covariates subject to measurement error. Describes and implements advanced computational algorithms, such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and expectation maximization (EM).
