We looked at R's most basic statistical functions and learned about linear regression (a.k.a. the 'lm()' function).
Topics that we covered:
the meaning of the coefficients and other summaries
confidence intervals vs. prediction intervals
overfitting and variable selection
bias-variance trade-off
regression trees, boosting, bagging
LASSO, GAM
