INTRODUCTION TO LINEAR REGRESSION
At the end of the course, those students that will successfully have taken it will be able to use the methods of Linear Regression to solve real life problems in cases where Linear Regression methods can apply. In particular they will be able to critically assess the data available for a problem and to decide whether any of the methods learned in the course can be applied to better understand and interpret the data. Moreover, they will be able to have a good grasp of the theory behind the possible models that can be used in such problems.
Students should attend this web site for direct information about the course.
