But with new motivation—in the form of a handsome but shy customer—and the help of her brilliant café coworker Risa, she’s determined to master it.</p> <p>Follow along with Miu and Risa in <em>The Manga Guide to Regression Analysis</em> as they calculate the effect of temperature on iced tea orders, predict bakery revenues, and work out the probability of cake sales with simple, multiple, and logistic regression analysis. You’ll get a refresher in basic concepts like matrix equations, inverse functions, logarithms, and differentiation before diving into the hard stuff. Learn how to:</p> <ul> <li>Calculate the regression equation</li> <li>Check the accuracy of your equation with the correlation coefficient</li> <li>Perform hypothesis tests and analysis of variance, and calculate confidence intervals</li> <li>Make predictions using odds ratios and prediction intervals</li> <li>Verify the validity of your analysis with diagnostic checks</li> <li>Perform chi-squared tests and F-tests to check the goodness of fit</li> </ul> <p>Whether you’re learning regression analysis for the first time or have just never managed to get your head around it, <em>The Manga Guide to Regression Analysis</em> makes mastering this tricky technique straightforward and fun.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author-bio field-type-text-long field-label-abovec"><div class="field-label">Author Bio </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><b>Shin Takahashi</b> attended Kyushu University, where he graduated with a master's degree in information technology.
