Unlock the Power of Linear Regression

Linear regression models, also known as linear models, are essential tools in various fields due to their simplicity and ease of interpretation. This workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to both simple and multiple linear regression.

What You'll Learn:

• Fundamentals of regression models and their assumptions
• How to interpret coefficients and conduct significance testing
• Exploring interactions between variables and using dummy variables
• Model-checking techniques, including residual plots and collinearity diagnostics
• Methods for model selection

Hands-On Experience: We'll demonstrate the analysis using R. Participants with basic programming knowledge are encouraged to bring a laptop for hands-on practice. No prior experience? No problem! You'll still gain a solid understanding of the concepts.

This in-person workshop will be held at DC 1568 (inside the DC library). Registration is free for all students, faculty, and staff at the University of Waterloo.
