À propos de ce cours : Welcome to the Advanced Linear Models for Data Science Class 1: Least Squares. This class is an introduction to least squares from a linear algebraic and mathematical perspective. Before beginning the class make sure that you have the following: - A basic understanding of linear algebra and multivariate calculus. - A basic understanding of statistics and regression models. - At least a little familiarity with proof based mathematics. - Basic knowledge of the R programming language. After taking this course, students will have a firm foundation in a linear algebraic treatment of regression modeling. This will greatly augment applied data scientists' general understanding of regression models.
Les destinataires de ce cours : This class is for students who already have had a class in regression modeling and are familiar with the area who would like to see a more advanced treatment of the topic.

Programme de cours
SEMAINE 1
Background
We cover some basic matrix algebra results that we will need throughout the class. This includes some basic vector derivatives. In addition, we cover some some basic uses of matrices to create summary statistics from data. This includes calculating and subtracting means from observations (centering) as well as calculating the variance.

SEMAINE 2
One and two parameter regression
In this module, we cover the basics of regression through the origin and linear regression. Regression through the origin is an interesting case, as one can build up all of multivariate regression with it.

Notation et examens
Very thorough and rigorous. A great review for me.
Great, detailed walk-through of least squares. Linear Algebra is a must for this course. To follow the last part requires knowledge of matrix (eigen?)decomposition, which derailed me somewhat.
