About this course

In this course, you’ll learn how to fit, interpret, and compare linear regression models in Python. This is useful for research questions such as:

  • Can I predict how much a customer will spend at a store based on attributes such as age, income, and location?
  • What is the relationship between a person’s income and other attributes such as education level and years of experience?

This course requires some prior experience with Python, including experience with Pandas and basic data manipulation, summary statistics, and hypothesis testing.

  • The progress I have made since starting to use codecademy is immense! I can study for short periods or long periods at my own convenience - mostly late in the evenings.

  • I felt like I learned months in a week. I love how Codecademy uses learning by practice and gives great challenges to help the learner to understand a new concept and subject.
