Welcome to week 9!

It’s time to continuing working with now more complicated models. This week, we are going over:

– Logistic Regression – Regression and Classification Trees – Ensemble Trees

If you would like, here are some optional reading material to additionally help support you through learning these concepts.

Logistic Regression:9.1-9.3

Regression and Classification Trees article

Keep in mind the learning objectives as we continue working with models:

– Can you describe the modeling process (at a high level). That is, how would you answer the question “What is logistic regression?”

– Can you identify when these models are appropriate to use? That is, when would you suggest using logistic regression to a client?

– Can you articulate when one type of model is performing better than others?

– Can you articulate the model selection process to another statistician? What about a client?

Let’s have a wonderful week 9! As always, please reach out if you have any questions.
