Linear Regression in Python: Categorical predictors

Learn how to include categorical predictors in a linear regression model.

Tue May 25, 2021 at 3:00 PM UTC

Event Information

In this session, we’ll demonstrate how to include a categorical predictor with two or more categories in a simple linear model. For example, we’ll learn how to predict the price of a New York City apartment based on the borough where it is located. This will help us build our intuition for how to create and interpret more complex linear models.
