Regression Theory and Applications (formerly MATH 0211)

Regression is a popular statistical technique for making predictions and for modeling relationships between variables. In this course we will discuss the theory and practical applications of linear, log-linear, and logistic regression models. Topics include least squares estimation, coding for categorical predictors, analysis of variance, and model diagnostics. We will apply these concepts to real datasets using R, a statistical programming language.
