This course is designed to help you learn the tools needed to
carry out the statistical regression analysis in a variety of
applications. Regression analysis consists of a collection of techniques
used to explore and understand the relationship among variables.
The emphasis is on graphical exploration, model building,
estimation, inference, diagnostics and model checking.
