Reporting Regression Results Beautifully Using R 📈✨

💎 Intro:
Making Beautiful Reports in RSo, you've run a regression in R and now you're staring at a wall of numbers? Let's transform that data mountain into a readable, pretty format!

#RStats #DataScience 💎 Why the Fuss About Presentation?
Data speaks, but in whispers. To make it sing, we need to dress it up, make it understandable, and shareable especially for non-stats folks.

First, let's fit a linear regression:

regression_model <- lm(mpg ~ qsec + drat + wt, data = mtcars)

🧐 Intro:
Ever wondered the difference between Bayesian and Frequentist reasoning? Let's dive into a chat between two friends, Frequentist (F) and Bayesian (B), as they discuss their views.

#DataScience #Statistics Image 1/ 🧐 Topic: Probability

F: "I view probabilities as long-run frequencies. Flip a coin often enough, and I'll predict the proportion of heads in a hypothetical infinite series."

B: "For me, probabilities represent belief. Say there's a 70% chance of rain? That's your confidence… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

📊 Diving into the world of data reduction techniques! Let's compare two popular methods: Factor Analysis (FA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). A thread! 🧵

#DataScience Image 📍PCA:

PCA is a technique to reduce the dimensionality of data. It identifies orthogonal (perpendicular) axes (principal components) in the data that maximize variance.

1/ 🧵 Let's dive into the age-old debate between #Statistics and #MachineLearning. While they both deal with data, their perspectives, goals, and techniques can differ. Here's a breakdown: Image 2/ Origin & History:
•Statistics: Has its roots in probability theory & has been around for centuries. Traditionally used in areas like economics, biology, and social sciences.
•Machine Learning: Born from computer science & AI. Rose with big data & computing advances.

Is R-square Useful or Dangerous? 📈

1/ R-square, also known as the coefficient of determination, measures the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that can be explained by the independent variables in a regression model.
#DataScience #Statistics Image 2/ Useful? Definitely! R^2 gives us an idea of how well our model explains the variance in the data. Higher values suggest the model explains a lot of the variation; however, it's not the sole criterion for a "good" model.

1/8 📌 Intro
Both correlation and covariance provide insights into the relationship between two variables. While they might seem similar, there are key differences to note. Let's dive in! #DataScience #Statistics Image 2/8 📊 Covariance
Covariance measures the directional relationship between two variables. It can be positive (both variables increase together), negative (one variable decreases as the other increases), or zero (no consistent pattern).

1/ 🤔 Ever wonder how "bootstrapping" works? I recently used it for estimating confidence intervals & someone asked me about its logic. At first, I was stumped, even though I've used it often! Here's my attempt to clarify.

#Statistics #Bootstrapping #DataScience 📈📉 https://towardsdatascience.com/bootstrapping-statistics-what-it-is-and-why-its-used-e2fa29577307 2/ 🥾 What's bootstrapping? It's a resampling technique where you take many subsamples from your sample data & analyze them. The idea? The subsamples give us an insight into the variability in our sample.

🧵 Difference Between Confidence Interval & Credible Interval
1/ Intro
Both Confidence Intervals (CIs) and Credible Intervals (CrIs) provide a range for estimating an unknown parameter. But they're based on different philosophies and interpretations. #DataScience #Stats Image 2/ Confidence Interval (CI) 📉
•Based on frequentist statistics.
•If we were to repeat a study many times, ~95% (or another chosen level) of the CIs would contain the true parameter.
•It's about the intervals and their likelihood of capturing the true value.

1/ 🧵 Let's dive into a common statistical question: When calculating standard deviation, why do we square the differences rather than taking their absolute value? Let's break this down. 📊 #DataScience #rstats Image 2/ Historical Context:
To start, the idea of squaring differences has a historical basis. Sir Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin, introduced it. Galton's work influenced the development of the variance (and subsequently the standard deviation).

1/ 📊📈 Let's dive into the fascinating world of #statistics and explore two key concepts: Odds Ratio and Relative Risk! Understanding the differences and applications of these two measures is crucial for interpreting study results and making informed decisions. #DataScience Image 2/ 🎲 Odds Ratio (OR): The Odds Ratio is a measure of association between an exposure and an outcome. It represents the odds of an event occurring in one group compared to the odds in another group. OR is particularly useful in case-control studies. #DataScience

1/ 📊📏 Let's dive into the world of #statistics & explore the Levels of Measurement! Understanding these levels is crucial for choosing the right statistical methods for data analysis. Today, we'll cover the 4 main levels: Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, and Ratio. #DataScience Image 2/ 🏷️ Nominal Level: At this level, data is purely qualitative and categorical. There's no inherent order or ranking involved. Examples include colors, genders, or nationalities. It's important to note that mathematical operations like addition or subtraction don't apply here.
