Description:
Regression is one of the most commonly used statistical methods – but things can quickly get complicated when you have multiple predictors. In the SAIG Short Course Model Selection in R, we will cover different methods to evaluate different regression models with different sets of predictors.

The following topics will be covered:

• Running Multiple Linear Regression in R

• Checking MLR assumptions with plots and tests • Applying model selection methods like stepwise regression & LASSO

• Criterion used to assess models (AIC, BIC, etc.) Attend this course on [date] from [time] in [location].
