Chapter 13: Multiple Regression

Use several predictors in one regression model.

Learning Goals

  • Connect regression to the machine-learning workflow.
  • Describe training, validation, and testing roles.
  • Interpret coefficients with other predictors held fixed.
  • Evaluate model performance with held-out data.

Chapter Flow

  • Machine-learning framing
  • Linear regression review
  • Multiple regression

What To Watch For

  • The main concept introduced in each section
  • The code pattern that supports the concept
  • The management question the method helps answer

Carry Forward

  • Use the section practice exercises to check runnable code skills.
  • Keep the notebook examples runnable.
  • Connect each method to interpretation, not just syntax.
  • Use the glossary terms when explaining results.
