More about this course
  • 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.
