Assessment task 2: Statistical analysis of continuous and binary data Intent: The purpose of this assessment item is to assess students ability to conduct advanced regression modelling and undertake appropriate regression diagnostics, as well as correctly interpreting regression model output. Objective(s): This assessment task addresses subject learning objective(s): B, C, E and F This assessment task contributes to the development of graduate attribute(s): 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 4.0 Weight: 35% Task: You will be given two datasets to analyse. You will be given a number of short answer questions that will require you to conduct linear and logistic regression analyses as appropriate, determine model fit, carry out appropriate diagnostics, and build appropriate statistical models. You will need to provide an interpretation of the models that can be read by someone not trained in biostatistics. You will need to justify your decisions about the statistical analyses and approaches that you have chosen. You will need to provide appropriate computer code, graphics, and summaries of your analyses in your answers.
