Regression Analysis Fundamentals in R

Understanding the relationships between variables is the cornerstone of data science and statistical analysis. This course provides a clear path for beginners to learn regression, the essential tool for predicting outcomes and explaining trends. You will learn to move beyond simple data exploration to creating robust models that provide actionable insights. By practicing with real-world scenarios, you will develop the ability to quantify how one variable influences another and determine the likelihood of specific events. Through this text-based curriculum, you will achieve the following: - Understand the core principles of linear and logistic regression. - Fit statistical models to datasets using modern R syntax and Tidyverse principles. - Predict continuous and categorical outcomes based on historical data. - Quantify model performance using metrics like R-squared and residual analysis. - Diagnose common modeling issues to ensure your results are statistically sound. - Interpret model coefficients to explain the impact of different variables. The course starts with essential terminology and the mathematical foundations of regression before moving into practical implementation and modern model evaluation techniques. You will learn to use contemporary workflows, including the broom package for tidying model outputs, ensuring your analysis is efficient and reproducible. This course is designed for beginners who have a basic understanding of R and want to master the fundamentals of statistical modeling. No prior experience with regression is required.
