Linear Regression Models

Abstract

statistical modeling After an introduction to Pearson’s, Spearman’s, and Kendall’s correlation coefficients, this chapter describes how to implement and solve linear regression models in Python. The resulting model parameters are discussed, as well as the assumptions of the models and interpretations of the model results. Since bootstrapping can be helpful in the evaluation of some models, the final section in this chapter shows a Python implementation of a bootstrapping example.
