Linear Regression and Modeling

Statistics with R,

This course introduces simple and multiple linear regression models. These models allow you to assess the relationship between variables in a data set and a continuous response variable. Is there a relationship between the physical attractiveness of a professor and their student evaluation scores? Can we predict the test score for a child based on certain characteristics of his or her mother? In this course, you will learn the fundamental theory behind linear regression and, through data examples, learn to fit, examine, and utilize regression models to examine relationships between multiple variables, using the free statistical software R and RStudio.

What people are saying

final project

(*A classmate whose final project I peer-reviewed used for loops to run the forward model selection based on R^2.

Everybody should take it and complete all the quizzes and the final project.

Very interesting, I have learned a lot and I have been able to apply it to the final project Very useful for my job, excellent as a foundational course in regression Good, detailed course on linear regression and how to perform statistic inference on the coefficients.

Good final project.

Very interesting to see other people's results from the final project.

Also, take your time with that final project because that's where you will actually learn some things about R and use what you have learned about statistics (you will have to use google to learn how to code some things properly).

In conclusion, clear teaching, helpful project, and knowledgeable classmates that I can learn from through final project.

I really loved working on weekly labs and a final project.

I feel that my analyst skills have greatly improved as a result of understanding and applying the ideas through the quizzes and final project.

However, you'd better have some statistics skills before this class, like EDA and programming skills, since the final project is sooooo hard!

The final project was certainly time-consuming and challenging, but extremely worth it to integrate the material well.

I still greatly appreciate how final projects are constructed that gives us freedom to choose our approach to the problems within the data set.

However, we were extraordinarily unprepared for the final project.

introduction to linear

Very good and gentle introduction to linear regression.

Would love to have more material/in-depth exposure to components available to us in R. It is a good course Very useful insights and lea This course provides a very good introduction to basic linear regression, including simple multiple linear regression, model building and interpretation, model diagnostics, and application in R. It was a really good introduction to Linear Model, I recommend this course to all people who wants to learn more about statistical analysis Very useful.

Nice introduction to linear modelling!

Good practical introduction to linear regression modelling.

easy to understand

easy to understand A great introduction to linear regression modeling.

easy to understand.

A well designed course and the explanation are very easy to understand Great contents and great teacher.

Quite systematic and easy to understand.

very interesting

Very interesting course and well taught!!

Very interesting course.

I learn a lot with the model we have to find and it is very interesting to note other students.

Very interesting, well taught.

, The course is very interesting and the concepts behind the regression analysis are very well explained and the pedagogy adopted by the professor is excellent and with the various examples and in between video quizzes, the implementation part of the concept was given complete justice.

really good

Really good course as the previous ones in this specialization.

I recommand it Excellent course, quality teaching The structure of this course is really good.

thank you i learned a lot informative The key concepts of linear regression are explain really well, without heavy mathematical explanation, that is good, because the main concepts are what it important.The project at the end of the course is REALLY good, you can learn a lot from the analysis and investigation you need to do on it, it took me around 30 hours to really understand and complete (a full time job of 1 week), which is really nice.I give 4 stars to the course, because they don't dig very much in variables selection, specially with categorical variables, with are the ones i had an hard time during the project.

Note: It was hard, because it was difficult, but in the process i learnt a lot of things investigating.Besides this point, the course is really good to say: "I know the basics of linear regression, I know how to handle it in R", the topic of "Linear Regression and Modeling" is of course much, much more larger than what can be explained in 1 course.

Overall it covers everything that you would want this course to.However, I was a complete beginner when starting this course, and as a result I regularly got confused (especially when it came to coding in R)3/5 stars for me really good course, it will be better if added more R programming learning in the videos

other courses

My only reservation is the length of the course, which seems to be a bit shorter than other courses in the certification.

However, compared to the other courses in the specialisation had less content.

Wish it was longer and more mathematical, but there are other courses on Coursera for that.

Contents are easier compared with other courses in this series.

multiple linear

The material is very straightforward and gives a great introduction to multiple linear regression.

There are fewer videos, the book material is shorter (less suggested exercises and the chapters cover fewer things about linear regression) and some quiz exercises of week 2, which should only cover simple linear regression, have some questions about multiple linear regression which is the 3rd week's topic.

Very complete course, although it would be nice to include some explanation about the interaction between variables in a multiple linear regression.

logistic regression

However, it might be better if future versions of this course could include slightly more advanced concepts such interaction and logistic regression model.

Would have liked to see more on logistic regression.

This course was exactly what I needed for a project involving logistic regression.

For example, I expected logistic regression to be covered.
