1 Introduction

  • Discuss the research question you will be addressing with your multiple regression model.
  • Talk about your data’s context, their sources, and any limitations of the data.
  • List group members name and contribution

2 Exploratory data analysis

  • In the code block below
    1. Compute relevant summary statistics and tables
    2. Display informative well-polished visualizations
  • Perform all “eye-ball tests” and make preliminary/initial observations here:

3 Multiple regression

  • Describe in words the components of your multiple regression model. It should be a single model involving at least one numerical and one categorical explanatory variable.
  • Fit the regression model
  • Compute the regression table

3.1 Statistical interpretation

  • Interpret the output of your table using statistical language.
  • Tie in the resuts of the table with the results of your exploratory data analysis.
  • Discuss (any) potential limitations of your analysis.

3.2 Non-statistical interpretation

  • Explain the preliminary results of your model using language meant for a non-statistically trained audience.

4 Inference for multiple regression

  • Interpret:
    1. All confidence intervals emphasizing the “practical significance” of the results
    2. All p-values emphasizing the “statisitical significance” of the results
  • Get all the regression points and conduct a residual analysis and its implications for the interpretations.

5 Conclusion

  • Summarize your the results of all analysis
  • Emphasize the “take-home message” of your analysis
  • Discuss all limitations of this analysis and caveats to keep in mind.
  • Discuss potential future work.
