Annotation -
The course will introduce students to linear regression analysis with emphasis on application in the R software. The course is designed for social science students, which is reflected in its focus on a conceptual understanding of linear regression and practical applications in the social sciences. The course contains only a small amount of mathematics, but for those interested we refer also to literature with more technical/mathematical treatment of the topics covered. After completing the course, students should have a good conceptual understanding of linear regression and the diverse purposes for which it is used (description, sample-to-population inference, causal inference, prediction), should command common terminology, understand assumptions associated with regression modeling, be able to verify them and respond adequately in the event of a failure to meet the assumptions. Above all, though, they should be able to make well-argued decisions when conducting their own regression analysis, and they should be able to present and interpret the results of their analysis correctly.
