Regression Models for Data Science in R

A companion book for the Coursera Regression Models class

About the Book

The ideal reader for this book will be quantitatively literate and has a basic understanding of statistical concepts and R programming.  The student should have a basic understanding of statistical inference such as contained in https://leanpub.com/LittleInferenceBook/. The book gives a rigorous treatment of the elementary concepts of regression models from a practical perspective. After reading the book and watching the associated videos, students will be able to perform multivariable regression models and understand their interpretations.
