Statistics for Data Science and Business Analysis - Introduction to Regression Analysis

This video tutorial introduces regression analysis, a common prediction method used when there is a causal relationship between variables. It provides examples of such relationships and outlines a systematic approach to regression, starting from simple linear models to multivariate ones. The tutorial covers how to build, interpret, and compare different regression models, preparing viewers for more advanced statistical analysis or machine learning.

What is the primary purpose of regression analysis?

• To establish a causal relationship between variables

• To calculate the mean of a dataset

• To determine the mode of a dataset

• To find the median of a dataset

Which of the following is an example of a causal relationship?

• The height of a building and the number of windows

• The number of books in a library and the number of chairs

• The money you spend and the money you make

• The color of your shirt and the weather

What is the first step in the systematic approach to regression analysis?

• Comparing different regression models

• Building a multivariate regression model

• Interpreting regression results

• Starting with a simple linear regression model

What will you learn to do with regression models in this section?

• How to create random models

• How to delete them

• How to build, interpret, and compare them

• How to ignore them

What future topics does this section prepare you for?

• Basic geometry

• Basic arithmetic

• Advanced statistical analysis and machine learning

• Simple addition and subtraction
