Topics (keywords)
DH, Open Education, Open Access, data visualisation
Learning outcomes
After completing this lesson, you will have learned:
How to run linear regression algorithms in Python using the Scikit-learn library
How to validate models and assess their performance
How to interpret the results given by linear regression models
To know which common pitfalls to avoid when conducting regression analysis
Abstract
This lesson is the first of a two-part lesson focusing on an indispensable set of data analysis methods, logistic and linear regression. It provides an overview of linear regression and walks through running both algorithms in Python (using Scikit-learn). The lesson also discusses interpreting the results of a regression model and some common pitfalls to avoid.
