TOP REVIEWS FROM ADVANCED LINEAR MODELS FOR DATA SCIENCE 1: LEAST SQUARES
As the name says it's an advanced course. Take the challenge though! In my opinion the content is a must if you want to perform competently in data science.
We need more advanced, theoretical courses on Coursera, like this one, in order to deeply understand the more general courses like Regression Models and Linear Models.
Great refresher of linear algebra
understood many things about linear models that I just knew superficially from its cores
Very thorough and rigorous. A great review for me.
