This seminar will introduce some fundamental topics in regression analysis using R in three parts. The first part will begin with a brief overview of the R environment, and then simple and multiple regression using R. The second part will introduce regression diagnostics such as checking for normality of residuals, unusual and influential data, homoscedasticity and multicollinearity. The third part of this seminar will introduce categorical variables in R and interpretation of regression analysis with categorical predictors.
