Welcome to the Advanced Linear Models for Data Science Class 2: Statistical Linear Models. This class is an introduction to least squares from a linear algebraic and mathematical perspective. Before beginning the class make sure that you have the following:
- A basic understanding of linear algebra and multivariate calculus.
- A basic understanding of statistics and regression models.
- At least a little familiarity with proof based mathematics.
- Basic knowledge of the R programming language.
After taking this course, students will have a firm foundation in a linear algebraic treatment of regression modeling. This will greatly augment applied data scientists' general understanding of regression models.
Syllabus 4
Introduction and expected values 1.5 hours
In this module, we cover the basics of the course as well as the prerequisites. We then cover the basics of expected values for multivariate vectors. We conclude with the moment properties of the ordinary least squares estimates.
The multivariate normal distribution 1 hour
In this module, we build up the multivariate and singular normal distribution by starting with iid normals.
Distributional results 1.5 hours
In this module, we build the basic distributional results that we see in multivariable regression.
Residuals 1.5 hours
In this module we will revisit residuals and consider their distributional results. We also consider the so-called PRESS residuals and show how they can be calculated without re-fitting the model.
Structured courses with graded quizzes, assignments and deadlines you can reset.
A shareable certificate from the university or company when you pay.
Financial aid is often approved for students in India (apply 15 days before you need it).
Taught by Johns Hopkins University, one of the strongest names in its field.
Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 108 learners.
Self-paced: start any time.
A clear syllabus (4 parts) you can see before you start.
Disadvantages
Paid after a 7-day free trial (Coursera Plus or per course).
Some courses can be audited for free, but graded work and certificates need payment.
Some points apply to every course of this kind; see how we rank.
This course is paid. Here is how to take it for free
Free trials: You can start a 7-day free trial for many individual courses, Specializations, or a Coursera Plus subscription to test full course features. Cancel before the seventh day if you do not want to be charged.
Financial aid: If you cannot afford the fee for a certificate, you can apply for financial aid through the link on the course home page by filling out an application about your background and goals.
