In this module, we will identify how models can predict future values, as well as construct interval estimates for those values. We will also explore the relationship between statistical modelling and causal explanations.

What's included

6 videos1 quiz1 programming assignment1 peer review1 ungraded lab

In this module, we will learn how to diagnose issues with the fit of a linear regression model. In particular, we will use formal tests and visualizations to decide whether a linear model is appropriate for the data at hand.

What's included
