By integrating several tools and concepts in applied statistics, you are now ready to make even more precise future predictions. The process of fitting these tools into a model that represents your data accurately is known as regression. Despite the term “simple regression model,” it can prove to be a formidable tool in business decision making.

In this course, you will practice working with regression models. You will discover how to construct a linear model of the relationship between two variables. You will also use a simple regression model to calculate statistics of interest for your business question or hypothesis. Finally, you will make predictions about the future behavior of a system based on the regression model. Since a multitude of situations can be accurately explained and predicted using this type of model, this skillset will set you up for success in your future business analysis efforts.
