More about this course
  • Linear regression is commonly used to quantify the relationship between two or more variables. It is also used to adjust for confounding. This course, part ofourProfessional Certificate Program in Data Science, covers how to implement linear regression and adjust for confounding in practice using R
  • We will also examine confounding, where extraneous variables affect the relationship between two or more other variables, leading to spurious associations
  • Linear regression is a powerful technique for removing confounders, but it is not a magical process
