Learning Statistics: Concepts and Applications in R
Multiple Linear Regression
S1 • E15
Multiple linear regression lets you deal with data that has multiple predictors. Begin with an R data set on diabetes in Pima Indian women that has an array of potential predictors. Evaluate these predictors for significance. Then turn to data where you fit a multiple regression model by adding explanatory variables one by one. Learn to avoid overfitting, which happens when too many explanatory variables are included.
