Prerequisite
Before attending this course, you should have completed the equivalent of an undergraduate course in statistics covering p-values, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and regression.
Training Features
- Statistics 1: Introduction to ANOVA, Regression, and Logistic Regression
- generate descriptive statistics and explore data with graphs
- perform analysis of variance and apply multiple comparison techniques
- perform linear regression and assess the assumptions
- use regression model selection techniques to aid in the choice of predictor variables in multiple regression
- use diagnostic statistics to assess statistical assumptions and identify potential outliers in multiple regression
- use chi-square statistics to detect associations among categorical variables
- fit a multiple logistic regression model.
Predictive Modeling Using Logistic Regression
- use logistic regression to model an individual's behavior as a function of known inputs
- create effect plots and odds ratio plots using ODS Statistical Graphics
- handle missing data values
- tackle multicollinearity in your predictors
- assess model performance and compare models.
