Our Verdict
This Udemy course on Regression Analysis and Data Analytics ticks several boxes for beginners looking to understand the basics of this widely used statistical technique. It does an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts into simpler terms, using real-world examples to enhance comprehension. However, the course falls short in providing a detailed background on certain topics like ANOVA and correlation, while failing to address advanced linear regression techniques entirely. Additionally, some resources provided are not compatible with various systems, leading to potential accessibility issues for learners. Consider this course if you're seeking an introduction or refresher but explore other options if advanced material is your priority.
