Learning Outcomes
1Comprehend how to report and evaluate the results of the model with respect to simple (2-variable) regression analysis.
2Identify 2-variable regression model which is through the origin and know how to compute the coefficient of determination for this type of models.
3Understand what the scaling, units of measurement and standardization of the variables amount to in regression analysis.
4Know and interpret simple regression models in detail which are nonlinear in variables while linear in parameters.
5Have the knowledge pertaining to the issues of estimation and statistical inference for multiple regression models.
6Gain some experience about some applications of simple and multiple regression models.
