Introduction

This presentation covers key statistical concepts using R.

Simple Linear Regression

Linear regression is used to model the relationship between a dependent variable and an independent variable.

\[ Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X + \epsilon \]

Linear Regression Equation

The least squares estimation method minimizes the sum of squared residuals:

\[ \hat{\beta_1} = \frac{\sum (X_i - \bar{X})(Y_i - \bar{Y})}{\sum (X_i - \bar{X})^2} \]

\[ \hat{\beta_0} = \bar{Y} - \hat{\beta_1} \bar{X} \]

PlotlyPlot

GGPlot 1

  geom_point() + 
  geom_smooth(method = "lm", se = FALSE, color = "red") +
  labs(title = "Linear Regression: MPG Vs Horsepower", 
       x = "Horsepower", 
       y = "Miles Per Gallon (MPG)", 
       color = "Cylinders") + 
  theme_minimal() +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5))

GGPlot 2

ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = disp, y = mpg, color = factor(cyl))) + 
  geom_point() + 
  geom_smooth(method = "lm", se = FALSE, color = "blue") +
  labs(title = "Linear Regression: MPG vs Displacement", 
       x = "Displacement (cu. in.)", 
       y = "Miles Per Gallon (MPG)",
       color = "Cylinders") + 
  theme_minimal() +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5))
## `geom_smooth()` using formula = 'y ~ x'
