Mastering Regression Analytics

Course Description

Introduction

Welcome to the Mastering Regression Analytics training course by Cambridge for Global Training. This course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of regression analysis and its applications in various fields. Regression analysis is a powerful statistical technique used to understand the relationship between variables and make predictions based on data. Through this course, participants will learn how to apply regression models effectively, interpret their results, and derive valuable insights for decision-making.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Apply different types of regression analysis techniques.
• Understand the assumptions and limitations of regression models.
• Utilise regression models for prediction and forecasting.
• Interpret regression analysis results and assess model performance.
• Handle multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and other common regression challenges.
• Apply advanced regression techniques such as logistic regression and ridge regression.
• Communicate regression analysis findings clearly and effectively to stakeholders.
