I am in the MS program in Applied Economics. Your videos has helped me so much, especially in further understanding econometrics. This is some really great stuff right here. Thanks again!
Good morning sir, I finish college this year read statistics as option. I still do not understand statistics until i found your videos. It's really great. Thanks for good work and your passion to help. God bless you sir.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am using the IBM SPSS, but the values and meanings are the same. Thank you for including the interpretation of the outputs, that really brings it all together.
Thanks for the video. I have a masters in economics and I have to get into regressions again for work. This is a nice reminder of the basic concepts. Nicely illustrated too.
Hello Sir, I'm estimating apartment prices based on 5 factors and in your earlier videos where you took 3 independent variables there were 7 regression analysis. So in my model that I'm about to build where there are 5 variables... Do I need to take the variables and analyse them : 1 at a time 2 at a time 3 at a time And so on.. untill I find the best result ?
Dear Brandon, I want to thank you for providing such excellent explanations and examples of statistical scenarios and how to go about analysing and prepping analysis. The latter is especially tough to find in textbooks in my experience. Thank you.
Brandon Thanks a lot for all your the videos in the statistics series. You really saved me hours and days! Whenever you are in Cyprus I will devote 1-2-3 days to you + a an old house in the mountains of Marathasa, returning your courtesy to share them! Just let me know 1-2 hours before you arrive at the airport! Regards Γ [ Loizides George ]
@@BrandonFoltz literally true, passed my quantative statistics exam, I do not need to resit, could not do this without you, thank you is not enough. Please be encouraged and please continue to produce these amazing videos. 👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I found very difficult to understand statistical use in research. your video makes it easy to understand the basic concepts. Pease Keep Uploading videos
Hi Brandon! Thanks for the excellent videos. You are a great teacher! Just a suggestion. It would be good if you can provide the datasets for us to do our own practice using statistical softwares adopted by our college.
Thank you very much i found the tutorial very important and i like the way you explain, easly understood for bigginers like me . Thank you keep it up sharing is caring !!!
It looks like in the surface plot at 13:20, the directions are labeled incorrectly. Shouldn't it be east, north, south, west? If not, could you explain, because this doesn't seem to match the data shown in the scatterplot at 9:33.
Your videos are amazing, Im love in it. Im actually seeing since I have a job to do, however, I would like to know the machinary work in order to reproduce the graphics and others stuffs. I will appreciate so much if you can teach us. Very cool videos!!
Thanks for the videos. I am finding them helpful. Around the 9:30 mark of this one, the scatter plot is showing regression lines for sqft~price for each of the four categories. The visual patterns clearly indicate that a generalized function to predict price from ft^2 and region is not represented well by the simple linear template in use. Specifically, their is a potential missing multiplier term. the region effect could be expressed as a modifier of the slope of the regression line for sqft~price in addition to affecting y-intercept. In other words, some region factor could also be included with the existing coefficient for the sqft term. I believe this would generate a more effective prediction model for this circumstance. So I suspect that I'm not the first to note this possibility, and my question is: What am I talking about? Is there an established technique for the type of curve-fitting I describe, and what is it called? Thanks again for a great lecture series.
TheCablebill An interaction between region and square-footage could be analyzed using other methods such as ANOVA / ANCOVA where one or more of the independent variables are nominal. There are also some coding techniques used to examine interactions. That is a bit beyond my goal for the video but a good point!
again, so HAPPY I came across your page here, I do have a question though, what if the dependent variable is categorical, and has more than one option e.g. direction (N /E / W / S) ?
with example of the region with 4 variables how do you know which one to use. In this case you omitted East, how did you decide on that? confused on what to use and what to take out
how does the scatter plot look like if there are more than 2 continious predictor variables? in your example if we want to add age of house as predictor variable, where doest it lie on the plot?
Dear Brandon Foltz I have a data set of sales, advertisement then dummy variables (years, months and quarters)..How to find out which month was the most and least successful? what is annual growth, quarterly growth? Please provide help as to what approach we should use when we have such timeseries element incorporated in the cross section data in the form of time as dummy variables? How would our interpretation of the model will differ?
Hi Brandon!! I wish to run the problem given in the video by myself so that i can tally the results. For the same, I would require the entire data In the video there are only 15 entries given. Thanks!
thanks a lot for these superb lectures. I do all your examples in R and now I ask, if it is possible to get the home price dataset for the lecture Multiple Regression Part 5.
okay I understand the concept of dummy variable but with example of the region with 4 variables how do you know which one to use. In this case you omitted East, how did you decide on that? confused on what to use and what to take out
Hello. You actually do not care. Pick the combination you prefer. When you getto interpret the results, you will get to the same conclusion, independently from the set of dummies you selected.
Hi! Is it possible to do regression using an independent variable with 7 units and a dependent variable with 20 units? Or should both variables have the same number of units?
Hi I want to do a statistical analysis with two independent variables (IV) and both are categorical and dependent variable is interval. I have chosen the multiple regression. Guide me whether my choice is right...
Great videos, Brandon! They are very informative and easy to understand. I have a question regarding dummy variables. The method you outline in this video and the previous one (Part 4) seem to deal with changing not the slope of the line, but the intercept. What if you have a situation where a categorical variable changes not just the position of the line (the intercept) but also the slope of the line. For example, what if the relationship between sqft and price were somehow a negative relationship in exemplary school districts? Would this method capture that effect?
Hi, I have around 42 independent variable (genotypes )and 8 dependent variable (cognition score) with age and gender as co variate. However my dependent variable are positively correlated so I have done PCA and have 2 component now. What kind of statistical analysis I should do?
Thanks for the videos! I'm learning a lot. I have a question here.. Can I do a linear regression if the dependent variable is a categorical variable? If yes, how can it be done??
Yvonne Szeto If the dependent variable is categorical regular multiple regression cannot be used. It will require logistic regression (I have a video series on that as well). There is binary, ordinal, and multinomial logistic regression depending on the structure of the dependent variable. My videos are about binary logistic regression. Hope that helps!
Hi Brandon, would you paste here the title of the video you refer above as I'm currently running an analysis over categorical dependent and independent variables (all variables are categorical). Thank you so much!
Dear Sir, thanks for the great work. Doing my bachelor thesis in Germany and this video has really come in handy. One problem though, I have failed to plot this data exactly like you did on an excel scatter plot. Sgft on x-axis & prices on y-axis but I have failed to implant the categorical variables (yes/no) . How did you do that sir? Did you use excel for it as well?
Hi! Thank you for this helpful video! I am a psychology stats student and have a question with regards to the way that variable are coded, as I am a little confused. Am I right in thinking that if you code something as 1, then in the regression equation, it will mean that the outcome is always higher for that variable in comparison to the variable coded as 0, which essentially means we can influence our findings based on how the variables are coded? I hope this can be clarified, as I feel like this is not necessarily the case but I am not sure why - thank you in advance!!
***** Hi, one quick question , is it possible to perform regression analysis on ONLY categorical variables? in other words-can one perform a regression analysis if all the independent variables are categorical?
vardeh1 No problem! I go over the calculation and interpretation in Part B which I should have uploaded tomorrow evening/night. So check back then. Thanks for watching! :)
Hi! For a win/loss prediction you could utilize Logistic Regression since your outcome is binary. The reality is most betting organizations already do this. Once they figure out the probability they then adjust the payout odds. So I always just recommend going with the conventional wisdom unless you know something everyone else does not. :)
I have enjoyed your lessons, but I could not reach you on tweeter under your handle. I am doing a research and I would like to get your perspective on a few things.
Statistics for business and economics by David Anderson , Business Analytics by Jeffrey D.Camm , The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book by Andriy Burkov Brandon shared this books in his recent live on youtube. Hope it helps.
Hello! Thanks for watching. The scatter plots were actually done in Minitab or JMP (It's been a while sorry) so there is no code to share. They are both traditional stats software packages.
thanks for the clear videos! but what about the subtitles, there are tons of mistakes, seems that whoever did them did not really listen to what was said and made no effort to do a good job... sometimes actually really funny !
I fail to understand how a university class that you are paying hundreds of dollars to be in can take 1.5 hours to complicate and make confusing a topic that a free UA-cam video can take 15 minutes to clearly explain... 🤦♂

Same confusion here. Did you find the reason now?
It's completely arbitrary. You can choose whichever category you want to be your reference category. The results will be the same.
Great Video.
Outstanding! Thank you!
How do you plot the scatter plot of the exemplary schools where the plot shows the red and blue colors for the diff values.
good explanation
