Linear Models: Regression, Interactions, and Best Practices
Simple Regression, Inference, and Centering
Simple Linear Regression: Models the linear relationship between two continuous variables.
- Outcome (y): Variable being predicted.
- Predictor (x): Variable used for prediction.
- Intercept (b₀): Predicted y when x=0. Affected by centering.
- Slope (b₁): Change in y for a one-unit change in x.
- Residual: Difference between observed and predicted y.
- OLS (Ordinary Least Squares): Method to find the best-fitting line by minimizing the sum of squared residuals.
Centering:

NumPy: Numerical Python
NumPy, which stands for Numerical Python, is a Python library that provides functionality to do the following:
- Create multidimensional array objects (called ndarrays or NumPy arrays).
- Provide tools for working with ndarrays.
NumPy Arrays
An array, in general, refers to a named group of homogeneous elements. A NumPy array is simply a grid that contains values of the same type.
import numpy as np
list = [1, 2, 3, 4]
a1 = np.array(list)
print(a1)
Although NumPy arrays look similar to

Binomial Distribution
Binomial distribution is a common discrete distribution used in statistics, as opposed to a continuous distribution, such as normal distribution. This is because binomial distribution only counts two states, typically represented as 1 (for a success) or 0 (for a failure), given a number of trials in the data. Binomial distribution thus represents the probability for x successes in n trials, given a success probability p for each trial. The underlying assumptions of binomial

What is a Data Warehouse and Why is it Needed?
A Data Warehouse is a centralized repository that integrates, stores, and manages data from multiple sources, transforming it into a structured format to support decision-making and analytical processes. Unlike operational databases, which are optimized for transactional tasks, data warehouses are designed for read-intensive activities like querying, reporting, and data analysis.
Definition:
A data warehouse is a subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant,
