You think a linear regression might be an appropriate statistical analysis for your data, but you’re not entirely sure. What should you check before running your model to find out?
In this webinar, Kim Love shows some descriptive statistics and graphics that you can produce before running a model to help with that decision.
She also discusses additional descriptive statistics and graphics that you should check before interpreting the results of a linear regression model (yes, checking model assumptions).
Techniques included in this training are univariate and bivariate descriptive statistics, histograms, normal QQ plots, and scatterplots, which will be applied to variables in the model as well as residuals and predicted values.
Note: This training is an exclusive benefit to members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program and part of the Stat’s Amore Trainings Series. Each Stat’s Amore Training is approximately 90 minutes long.
