Welcome to the Advanced Linear Models for Data Science Class 1: Least Squares. This class is an introduction to least squares from a linear algebraic and mathematical perspective.
Before beginning the class make sure that you have the following: – A basic understanding of linear algebra and multivariate calculus. – A basic understanding of statistics and regression models. – At least a little familiarity with proof based mathematics. – Basic knowledge of the R programming language.
After taking this course, students will have a firm foundation in a linear algebraic treatment of regression modeling. This will greatly augment applied data scientists’ general understanding of regression models.
