Parallel Slopes
FreeIn this chapter you'll learn about the class of linear models called "parallel slopes models." These include one numeric and one categorical explanatory variable.
-

This chapter covers model evaluation. By looking at different properties of the model, including the adjusted R-squared, you'll learn to compare models so that you can select the best one. You'll also learn about interaction terms in linear models.
-
Multiple Regression
This chapter will show you how to add two, three, and even more numeric explanatory variables to a linear model.
-
Logistic Regression
In this chapter you'll learn about using logistic regression, a generalized linear model (GLM), to predict a binary outcome and classify observations.
