About the Course

Welcome to Linear Regression in R for Public Health! Public Health has been defined as “the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society”. Knowing what causes disease and what makes it worse are clearly vital parts of this. This requires the development of statistical models that describe how patient and environmental factors affect our chances of getting ill. This course will show you how to create such models from scratch, beginning with introducing you to the concept of correlation and linear regression before walking you through importing and examining your data, and then showing you how to fit models. Using the example of respiratory disease, these models will describe how patient and other factors affect outcomes such as lung function. Linear regression is one of a family of regression models, and the other courses in this series will cover two further members. Regression models have many things in common with each other, though the mathematical details differ. This course will show you how to prepare the data, assess how well the model fits the data, and test its underlying assumptions – vital tasks with any type of regression. You will use the free and versatile software package R, used by statisticians and data scientists in academia, governments and industry worldwide....

The instructor was wonderful. Both the videos and the exercises were very hepful for understanding linear regression. The feedback was also incredibly valuable and helped us understand possible mistakes. I didn't rate the course with four stars because of some mistakes in the videos (for example when we discuss interaction the formula with the interaction term appears both in the beginning and afterwards) as well as in a question in the final test. They might seem like details but for a beginner it causes a bit of confusion and an unnecessary loss of time. Other than that, the course is very good.
