SUMMARY:Getting Started with Linear Regression in R
DESCRIPTION:Curious about uncovering patterns in your data? Whether you're 
 investigating how income relates to education or how age and location 
 affect voting behaviour\, linear regression helps quantify and interpret 
 relationships between variables.\n\nThis hands-on\, intermediate-level 
 workshop introduces linear modeling in R\, a powerful and open-source tool 
 for statistical analysis. You’ll learn how to fit a linear model\, 
 interpret coefficients\, assess model assumptions\, and evaluate model 
 performance using diagnostic plots like residuals.\n\nBy the end of this 
 session\, participants will be able to:\n\n\n	\n	Fit a linear regression 
 model using R\n	\n	\n	Interpret key output from a linear 
 model\n	\n	\n	Check model assumptions and explore diagnostic 
 plots\n	\n	\n	Apply linear modeling techniques to real-world 
 data\n	\n\n\nThis session is best suited for participants who have some 
 prior experience using R and are ready to expand their skills into 
 statistical modeling.\n\nDetails: Any preparatory work for the session can 
 be found on its information page. This virtual workshop will be recorded 
 and shared on the same page\, and discoverable via the Sherman Centre's 
 Online Learning Catalogue.\n\nFacilitator Bio: Sahar is a PhD candidate in 
 the Health Research Methodology program at McMaster University with a 
 background in midwifery. She supports researchers in data analysis using 
 statistical software such as R\, SAS\, and SPSS\, research methodology\, 
 and evidence synthesis.\n\nCertificate Eligibility: This workshop is 
 eligible for the Sherman Centre's certificate program. For more 
 information\, visit scds.ca/certificate-program. \n\nCredit Eligibility: 
 This workshop counts toward credit for students in the Faculty of Science 
 who are enrolled in SCIENCE 2SF1: Digital Skills Workshop. For any 
 questions\, please contact oursci@mcmaster.ca.
