Fundamentals of Regression Analysis

"Regression" is a general term for statistical techniques that try to fit a model to a given set of variables to predict the effect that changes in independent variables have on a dependent variable using linear assumptions.

The focus of this brief course is to understand and interpret linear regression analysis output from simple regression, multiple regression, and logistic regression models, using R statistical software. Other topics covered will include evaluating the accuracy of regression models, assumptions, and special cases of regression models, such as ANOVA and ANCOVA.
