What are the course deliverables?
- How linear regression was originally developed by Galton
- What is confounding and how to detect it
- How to examine the relationships between variables by implementing linear regression in R
More about this course
- Linear regression is commonly used to quantify the relationship between two or more variables
- It is also used to adjust for confounding
- This course, part of our Professional Certificate Program in Data Science, covers how to implement linear regression and adjust for confounding in practice using R
- In data science applications, it is very common to be interested in the relationship between two or more variables
- The motivating case study we examine in this course relates to the data-driven approach used to construct baseball teams described in Moneyball
- The course will determine which measured outcomes best predict baseball runs by using linear regression
- We will also examine confounding, where extraneous variables affect the relationship between two or more other variables, leading to spurious associations
- Linear regression is a powerful technique for removing confounders, but it is not a magical process
- It is essential to understand when it is appropriate to use, and this course will teach when to apply this technique
