Introduction to Simple Linear Regression, such as when and how to use it.

Multiple Linear Regression

A deep dive into multiple linear regression, a strong and extremely popular technique for a continuous target.

Classification Overview

Classification Models

Overview

Introduction to Statistical Learning will explore concepts in statistical modeling, such as when to use certain models, how to tune those models, and if other options will provide certain trade-offs. We will cover Regression, Classification, Trees, Resampling, Unsupervised techniques, and much more! This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The MS-DS is an interdisciplinary degree that
