About the Course

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....

A great primer on linear regression with labs that help to establish understanding and a project that is focused enough not to be overwhelming, and allows the learner to play around with the concepts

Great course! I've already taken a similar stats course using SPSS and this course was an excellent refresher, while increasing my familiarity with R.

The course provides good insights for linear regression. Also, I think the professors are intended to statistics and its application in real life.

One of the most useful of the series, can be valuable as a standalone course on Regression and Correlation. It is also very accessible.

Nice course. Comparing this course with the second and fourth ones in the specialization, this is a rather light-weighted one.

Great course! as a suggestion I Believe Duke should publish new courses on other prediction tools (like SVM, for example)
