About this Course


The second course in the program presents methods and strategies for developing both simple and complex models in R, allowing you to analyze relationships in multivariate data using linear regression. We’ll explore how to measure the models’ fit, establish confidence intervals on the model parameters, identify outlier data, and understand what the model parameters represent. At the end of the course, you’ll be able to use R to analyze and display how well the models represent complex data, as well as be able to interpret and report on the results.
