Course Description

You've already learned the basics about linear modeling and statistical inference. It is now time to combine them. This course will help you understand how different samples can produce different linear models. This course is designed to help you understand the basic population model. The course will teach you how to estimate intervals and calculate the significance of the effect of the estimated linear model. Comparisons will be made between the prediction intervals of the response variable as well as the estimates for the average response. For cleaning up models, you can use ggplot2, dplyr and the broom packages. These three tools are vital in data science.

Foundations of Inference

What You Will Learn

Additionally, you will consider the technical conditions that are important when using linear models to make claims about a larger population

In the first chapter, you will understand how and why to perform inferential (instead of descriptive only) analysis on a regression model

In this chapter you will learn about how to use the t-distribution to perform inference in linear regression models

In this chapter you will learn about the ideas of the sampling distribution using simulation methods for regression models

Throughout the course, you'll gain more practice with the dplyr and ggplot2 packages, and you will learn about the broom package for tidying models; all three packages are invaluable in data science

You will learn how to create interval estimates for the effect size as well as how to determine if the effect is significant
