TOP REVIEWS FROM ADVANCED LINEAR MODELS FOR DATA SCIENCE 1: LEAST SQUARES
The course is interesting; but is more theoretical in nature than applied.
chapter on bases showing four equivalent forms was brilliant! Hoping to learn BLUE, GAMs in part 2.
It was my first time but this was an awesome and interesting course,thanks for Brian Caffo and John Hopkins University
Hard Topic, You must take all the basics in multivariate statistical analysis first.
