I am 65 years old, and I can tell you this for sure. - If you attempt anything that is actually difficult, you will hit situations that are hard for you. In the real world, nobody climbs the big mountains without a few slip-and-falls. Falling is not a sign of weakness and it is not failure. It is just just part of the deal, an element of the challenge to overcome. You can do it!
Your pep talk in the beginning caught me off guard, but it's exactly what I needed to hear. I sincerely hope you can continue to make these videos. They're a life-saver. Thanks.
That motivational start made me cry. I'm really struggling with Stats right now and I needed that. The video also really helped with my studies. Thank you!!
0:30 - valuable self-affirmation 2:00 - introduction to material 2:40 - problem start An invaluable video from a creator who has apparently created an astounding resource, thank you!
Brandon your encouragement at the beginning made me cry. thank you. This is so helpful God bless you. I am a missionary studying psychology and taking a statistics class that is making me want to quit. But your work has given me hope to keep trying. I will pray for you and your intentions.thank you!
Holly Wright seriously that’s exactly my feeling previously! I feel so suffocated when come to statistic and phobia... thanks for sharing ur knowledge in a simplest way!! May god bless! Thanks a lot!
Theophine Ugochukwu Achugbu Thank you so much :) I have been blessed with wonderful teachers throughout my life. Whatever I am able to do is largely due to them. Keep on learning!
I was on the verge of tears, filled with self-doubt, from being unable to follow through my Stats class. Your explanation of the concepts was so much more intuitive than my course material. Sir, you've saved my soul from giving up on my Stats class. Thank you so much.
Hi Brandon, I just wanted to let you know that your statistics videos continue to be a lifesaver for me! I also really appreciate the reassuring words at the beginning of each video, and despite the fact that I've watched your videos countless times, I still let the intro play through almost every time since it calms me down and gives me the courage to continue. Thank you so much.
Brandon, you have made a seemingly impossible concept seem achievable to understand. Your efforts are highly appreciated. I'll ensure this is shared with classmates, friends, colleagues, anyone studying/interested in statistics. Thank you!
“ah yes i gotta get some online tutoring” *gets a pep talk, hitting several deep insecurities at once and gives me more support than my own dad* “........ nnghhhnghnhghnn...*sobbing*”
You are stronger than you know. Others give up, you came here and put in the time to get help. In the long run, taking that extra step will get you MILES ahead. Keep digging. You got this. ✊
10 years later this is still a gem. I've been a data analyst for years now and currently expanding into data science but regression has always been a black-box to me. Finding this playlist was like finding a luminous stone in a pitch-black dungeon
Brandon, you are a true teacher! Your teaching beats any of the university lecturers I have had in 4 years - every single one of them. A big mistake universities make, they put lecturers to teach Stats and other subjects for which a lecture is just the wrong (and cheap) approach. These subjects need to be 'taught'. That is a big difference between teachers and lecturers. Teachers approach a subject with learners in mind and make learning a shared journey. Lecturers lecture - they don't care whether you are learning anything at all as their job is to just talk away - a very easy job. Your work is amazing! Thank you so much!
You are on a lane of your own! I don't normally comment on videos but this would be very unfair to you. I will also donate right away. The amount of work there is behind this all, the knowledge and your abilities to teach intuitively a subject like statistics is just world class, an example for many institutions to mirror on. I have no words to explain the gratitude I feel so I would only say a plain "thank you so much"!
Hey Brandon, Carlton here from London. I can clearly see that these videos were created a very long time ago, however, they're brilliant. Concise, clear, and really educational. You have a great voice for teaching. Thanks
You Have so much good and unique view/insight on the subject .You nailed it . Very happy to see such varied respectful view on subject that you are explaining. You nailed it ..
Brandon, You are one of the best teachers I have ever known. I have been taught and I have learnt. Thank you for the encouragement. Keep it up and remain blessed.
I have never seen the best explainer ever, I had to watch 5 times in a week my professors recording, and I was confused about liner regression, When I watched your the first video, I have started breath again, I got my life back, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are very talented person, and you the one who needs to teach in best colleges in the world!
Thank you so much! I can't believe I could understand linear regression in 20 minutes! This has bothered me a while and no one explained in such a way to me before...
"Greetings from the future! Your video on Simple Linear Regression from 7 years ago is still providing valuable insights to us in 2023. Keep up the great work!" ChatGPT
I learnt more from you in 40 minutes i did a whole semester. I should be legally allowed to transfer my tuition funds to you! Haha Appreciate the videos Brandon
lol I'm taking online statistics and I never even open my professors lecture videos. Nothing against people from other cultures, but I can't follow him at all and only understand about half of the words he says. The first thing I do is find out the concept for the week and then come to youtube haha.
That motivational start made me burst into tears! I am dealing with a lot of guilt and depression. I really love machine learning and I am trying to learn statistics on my own, and have bought various online courses to teach myself. But I sometimes have a really hard time, and start rebuking myself. Thank you for the motivational start, as I really needed to hear this from somebody. Bless you, sir.
Although perhaps designed for the uninitiated, one doesn't need to be "struggling" to find value in these lectures. In any technical pursuit, there are always gaps in our understanding. B.F. fills in those gaps with a precision and clarity that is virtually unrivaled on the internet. Thank you B.F.!!
I'm doing my Masters in Finance without a background in Statistics and was struggling greatly, with exams coming up in no less than two weeks. I have hope of not failing Data Analysis now because i can actually understand everything and i can sleep in peace now, because tonight i watched all your Linear Regression videos and I feel i can make it. Thank you so much, Brandon, continue doing the great work you are doing, countless people have benefitted from your videos, but i wanted to be sure i express my gratitude by dropping a comment, as being something the least that i can do.
I think these videos are really great, so I'd just like to extend my gratitude towards your effort. For everyone who finds it too slow (admittedly, as did I) UA-cam has a speeding up option. Watch the video on a speed of 2 and it goes twice as fast and is just as good. Thanks again Mr. Brandon Foltz.
Thank you Brandon. You are truly a life changer. We have some weird cultural attitudes towards math, like it’s the boogeyman. I imagine most of that stems from horrendous math education in schools. A lot of people don’t realize that are « naturally good » at math are people who have spent countless hours learning how to understand and use it. Almost everyone who can read this right now has the ability to be good at math with time, effort and most importantly, good instruction. Thank you for making math accessible and enjoyable. Thank you for your commitment to our overall wellbeing and mental health.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who cried during the intro. Normally something like that would totally hit me as corny, but you sound incredibly genuine and knew the exact right things to say. Thank you so much for putting this out. I’m currently working on my PhD and I’m struggling with imposter syndrome because of how badly I’m performing in my stats class. I appreciate you reminding your audience that we’re intelligent and our lapse in understanding doesn’t need to be the end of the story.
Would like to mention that I usually have busy schedules but always want to hear you whenever got free.. thank you for making such typical things so simple
Brandon.... .. i have been watching your videos. What makes your lectures more exciting apart from your grasp of the topic and fantastic way of visualising and explaining the topics... is your absolutely shining passion to share your knowledge with the audience. You are doing an amazing job. Absolutely fantastic. God bless and keep on . Thank you Sir
My basic question is, "Why is it called Linear Regression"? The concept is way simpler than the name. Also, Residuals are deviations. Just a pet peeve. Great video!! Thanks.
Hi! That is a very long and interesting story! Basically regression got it's name part by "regression to the mean and accident. blog.minitab.com/blog/statistics-and-quality-data-analysis/so-why-is-it-called-regression-anyway And yes, the same thing has different names; residuals, errors, deviations. Thanks for watching!
You are very welcome! We all have to be in the right place to learn, and that means taking a deep breath, resetting, and recommitting. Kudos to you Luke for putting in the effort!
@@BrandonFoltz Really struggling with having to do Quant as part of my training for a social science PhD. I was in the faculty of arts before this so it feels like a foreign language. Thank you for breaking it down so simply, and with such useful metaphors.
The encouragement in the beginning was a surprise. I didn't know how to react as I know that everyone has their own lives and the world runs on the principle of "every man for himself." Thank you for it. Your explanation was beautiful! The visual aspect was incredibly helpful. Since I watched the video at 1.75 speed, you taught me in a little over 10 minutes what a teacher failed to teach to my class in the better (I think it was literally the worse) part of a 1 hour and 20 minutes class! What I mean is that it makes sense now and it did not with the teacher's explanation.
You've got my Subscription! Im going to Market Research Analysis and right now this is my second Savior. Thank you, I like how you speak slow and break each word into their own space, it really helps grasp the new and tough information
One day before my final exam, and I'm glad you made this video. Thank you for the kind words of encouragement, I definitely was not expecting that. Good luck to anyone else scrolling through and reading the comments, get back to studying!
Just wanted to say thank you! I'm learning stats for a data analytics degree and I was having a lot of trouble understanding the MEANING behind the formulas, until now. Now it's really starting to make sense and come together, and I'm actually understanding the statistics instead of just plugging in formulas and entering values. You have an excellent way of connecting the math to what it actually means in terms that anyone can understand.
Excellent style of teaching. Very clear. For the first time I could understand something about regression without already having an understanding of other aspects of statistics
I can't thank you enough for this easy to understand video. You were able to explain in 20 minutes what my teacher couldn't in 2 weeks with 60 pages in the book. Thank you.
I wanted to chime in as someone often using statistics in my field, sometimes outside my comfort zone. I took a stats class in undergrad but my knowledge has grown stale since then. First, I tried scheduling time every day with a textbook, but it takes a lot of mental stamina to study math before or after work. Your videos have been a great way to ease my way back into the subject. They are the perfect primer before I actually committ to another stats textbook or university course. Thank you!
This is my first Statistics class trying to stay positive. I was surprised that I understood what your were saying. I will be watching your entire series my class begins in twoo weeks. Thanks!
Brandon, I've watched many of your videos after having to take a course in Quantitative Methods at uni... as a qualitative person it's been complete jibberish to me. However your videos have helped SO much. I've learned so much more from them than I have from the classes. I wish I'd remembered to give each one a good thumbs up but here's one giant LIKE and masses of appreciation for your whole series. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This was the best 'intro mathematics' videos I've ever watched. Especially in mathematics, there is a culture for everyone seeming to understand exactly what was explained to them first round, i.e. "it was all explained in the lecture, what do you not understand?". This video was everything I wanted and needed. Thanks.
Fantastic instructor who is highly intelligent, articulate and able to explain these concepts in simple terms. Thank you for the intuitive explanations. Think I would've failed without these vids.
I have never commented online ever but this time it is so well deserved I just have to. Three years of uni, and three years of hiding from stats, is finally over! And that is purely your doing. Thanks to you I get it. Amazing !!!!
Wow, thanks so much! This video really helped me understand SLR because you broke it down so well with visuals, you spoke slowly, and you presented the material in a way that was extremely easy for anyone to understand. Now I'm not so worried for my Statistics final on Sunday. Thanks again!!

thanks bro, i really needed that motivational intro
same. I honestly needed it too.
same here. thx for the video
Been stressed all day, and that intro just made me take a deep breathe and refocus
I liked your comment because I thought it was sarcasm.

+Aimee Bothwell I said the same thing! I almost cried - felt really frustrated, and then happened upon Brandon's video and was reassured...
Although some may find it slow, for someone who does not have any idea on statistics I appreciate it very much. Thank you kind sir.
Omg I’m actually crying. You hit the nail on the head perfectly at the start. Thank you so so much ! 💕
At this point, I can't find any reason why I am still wasting money and time on the university when this kind of content is available. Thank you!!
watching this in 2020, and still appreciating how he teaches. Truly timeless video.
i love how this was made 7 yrs ago but the quality is better than most tutorials in this platform :O
was having a really bad day and hearing that intro made me cry and gave me some hope, I really needed that.

Wow, thanks so much! This video really helped me understand SLR because you broke it down so well with visuals, you spoke slowly, and you presented the material in a way that was extremely easy for anyone to understand. Now I'm not so worried for my Statistics final on Sunday. Thanks again!!
The introduction is everything 😭. Thank you for this video. Your efforts are much appreciated!!
