Foundations of Data and Models: Regression Analytics #402824

Course Details

Foundations of Data and Models: Regression Analytics is a 5-day intensive course designed to equip participants with the fundamental skills and knowledge necessary to analyze data and build predictive models using regression techniques. This course will cover the theoretical concepts, practical applications, and statistical techniques essential for data-driven decision-making.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand statistical concepts: such as probability, hypothesis testing, and confidence intervals.
• Explore data exploration and visualization techniques: using tools like Python and R.
• Master linear regression: including simple and multiple linear regression.
• Apply logistic regression: for classification problems.
• Evaluate model performance: using various metrics and techniques.
• Interpret and communicate model results: effectively to stakeholders.

This course is suitable for:
• Data analysts
• Data scientists
• Business analysts
• Statisticians
• Anyone interested in data-driven decision-making

• Pre-assessment
• Live group instruction
• Use of real-world examples, case studies and exercises
• Interactive participation and discussion
