Linear models, as their name implies, relates an outcome to a set of predictors of interest using linear assumptions. Regression models, a subset of linear models, are the most important statistical analysis tool in a data scientist’s toolkit. This course covers regression analysis, least squares and inference using regression models. Special cases of the regression model, ANOVA and ANCOVA will be covered as well. Analysis of residuals and variability will be investigated. The course will cover modern thinking on model selection and novel uses of regression models including scatterplot smoothing.

Programme du cours : ce que vous apprendrez dans ce cours
Week 1: Least Squares and Linear Regression
This week, we focus on least squares and linear regression.
Week 2: Linear Regression & Multivariable Regression
This week, we will work through the remainder of linear regression and then turn to the first part of multivariable regression.
Week 3: Multivariable Regression, Residuals, & Diagnostics
This week, we'll build on last week's introduction to multivariable regression with some examples and then cover residuals, diagnostics, variance inflation, and model comparison.
Week 4: Logistic Regression and Poisson Regression
This week, we will work on generalized linear models, including binary outcomes and Poisson regression.
Avis
Meilleurs avis pour MODÈLES DE RÉGRESSION
Excellent course that is jam-packed with useful material! It is quite challenging and gives a thorough grounding in how to approach the process of selecting a linear regression model for a data set.
It really helped me to have a better understanding of these Regression Models. However, I've noticed that there is a video recording repeated: Week 3, Model Selection. Part 3 is included in Part 2.
Great subject, was a bit frustrated with some of the material (seemed rushed and not well prepared). Great assignment, but too restrictive on the max number of pages allowed. Wasted a lot of time.
This module was the maximum. I learned how powerful the use of Regression Models techniques in Data Science analysis is. I thank Professor Brian Caffo for sharing his knowledge with us. Thank you!
