Video Link 11.1: ‘Linear regression R’
Question: How do we conduct a linear regression in R?
Answer: We use the lm() function in R, where we first specify the outcome variable and then the predictor variable.
Video 11.2: ‘Multiple linear regression in R’
Question: What does it mean when we are using multiple linear regression instead of (bivariate) linear regression?
Answer: It means that we have multiple explanatory variables in a regression instead of just one explanatory variable.
Video Link 11.3: ‘Change reference/baseline category for a categorical variable in regression model’
Question 1: What is the default baseline/reference category R uses for a categorical explanatory variable in a linear regression?
Answer: The default category is the first category in a categorical explanatory variable.
Question 2: How is the baseline/reference category changed in R in the video?
Answer: The reference category is changed by using the relevel() function and specifying that ‘yes’ is the reference category.
