Course Objective

Regression analysis is the most important multivariate statistical methods which can be used for prediction. In this course, regression models which determines cause-and-result relation between variables will be builded and used for prediction and interpretation.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Define the concepts of dependent and independent variable(s)
2   Obtain estimators of the parameters in simple linear regression model using the method of least squares
3   Estimate the variance of the regression model
4   Calculate the coefficient of correlation and coefficient of determination
5   Describe the assumptions of simple and multiple linear regression model
6   Obtain analysis of variance table.
7   Apply variable selection techniques such as stepwise regression, forward selection, backward elimination and all possible best subset
8   Make a prediction using regression model
