Applying Logistic Regression
This course will teach you how to build robust linear models and do logistic regression in Excel, R and Python. Let’s parse that. Robust linear models: Linear Regression is a powerful method for quantifying the cause and effect relationships that affect different phenomena in the world around us. This course will teach you how to build robust linear models that will stand up to scrutiny when you apply them to real world situations. Logistic regression: Logistic regression has many cool applications: analyzing consequences of past events, allocating resources, solving binary classification problems using machine learning and so on. This course will help you understand the intuition behind logistic regression and how to solve it using cookie-cutter techniques. Excel, R and Python: Put what you've learnt into practice. Leverage these powerful analytical tools to build models for stock returns.
Style and Approach
A 5-hour course with good, understandable, explanation with examples as usual for the Loony style. You won't be calculating the stuff by hand after, it is not that detailed, but it gives a useful understanding to be able to apply the tools
