Statistical Modelling

Exploring Polynomial, Fractional Polynomial, and Spline Models

The ability to accurately model and interpret complex data sets is paramount. This technical exploration delves into three sophisticated modelling techniques: Polynomial Models, Fractional Polynomials, and Spline Models. Each of these models serves as a fundamental tool in the statistical toolkit, enabling us to capture and understand the intricacies of linear and non-linear relationships inherent in real-world data.
