SCU2 Introduction to Modelling

This is an online course offered by the SCU. In this course, we cover the following content:

• Two numerical variables
  • Scatterplots 
  • Understanding relationships between variables 
  • Correlation between variables 

• Simple linear regression
  • Linear relationship between two variables 

• Nonlinear relationships
  • Non "straight line" relationships between variables 

• Categorical variables
  • Variables that have categories (frequency tables and charts) 
  • Comparing the categorical data from different groups 
  • Distributions of two categorical variables 
  • Association between categorical variables 

• Multiple linear regression
  • Linear relationship between one variable and other variables (one continuous and one categorical variables): same slope, different intercepts 
  • Linear relationship between one variable and more than one continuous variables 
  • Assumptions for linear regression 

• Regression for binary categorical data (yes/no) response
  • Linear relationship between a binary (yes/no) response and continuous  or categorical variables
