Course OVERVIEW
Making statistical predictions based on real-world data is complex and requires a more rigorous statistical model. In this course, you will learn to apply multivariate regression statistical models to make predictions. First, you will identify the variables that best explain your results and define the relationships between dependent and independent variables. You will then practice identifying and interpreting the results of a multiple regression model and making predictions based on that model.
It is recommended to only take this course if you have completed Interpreting and Communicating Data, Using Statistical Test to Make Decisions, and Applying Statistical Tests or have equivalent experience.
Key Course Takeaways
- Interpret the variable of interest and its statistical significance while adjusting for potential confounders
- Choose the best model based on relative strength and significance
- Expand the model to improve the fit using multiple regression
