L16: Regression Model Papers (video)

Lecture16-Regression-Examples

In this lecture we continue our exploration of regression modeling by dissecting three exemplar research papers that make good use of regression modeling (plus two more papers in the next lecture). We compare and contrast the type of research questions they ask; their overall study designs, including the role of regression in those designs; and the specific steps part of their modeling processes.

Example Papers

We discussed the first three in this lecture and the remaining two in the next lecture.
