Outline
This course provides a thorough grounding in the theory and methods of multiple linear regression including model selection, nonlinear relationships, and transformations, dummy variables, interaction terms and assumption testing. The course comprises taught and practical components in about equal proportions, using the STATA software.
The course is designed for users of survey data with some experience of data analysis and who are comfortable using statistical software and who want to expand their understanding of more sophisticated techniques.
Objectives
At the end of the course participants should be able to:
Run multiple linear regression models on suitable datasets
Choose between different models
Understand the meaning of b and beta coefficients
Understand and Interpret R2 values
Create dummy variables, interaction and quadratic terms
Run and interpret assumptions tests and diagnostics
Understand and interpret multicollinearity.
