Course Taster – Applied Regression Analysis: Estimation, Diagnostics, and Modelling

Abstract

Instructor: Daniel Kovarek Date: Wednesday 14 August No pre-registration required – just drop in on the day. This taster presents a virtual course introducing you to regression analysis using R. On this course, you will learn about the classical theory of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression, along with non-linear regression techniques. Through the use of various data sets and models, you will gain an understanding of when and how regression can be valuable in policy analysis and other contexts. The instructor will present a 30-minute lecture on their course topic, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. This will allow you to get a clearer picture of the methodology, its fundamental principles, course objectives, and the tools you'll explore.
