Advanced Linear Models for Data Science 2: Statistical Linear Models

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. The mission of The Johns Hopkins University is to educate its students and cultivate their capacity for life–long learning, to foster independent and original research, and to bring the benefits of discovery to the world.
