The wonderful geometry of regression models, conditional relationships and "controlling for" variables
Have you ever wondered how regression models can “control for” variables when assessing effects? This seminar will attempt to demystify this concept by explaining underlying geometry with pictures and demonstrations.
The talk will be about 30 minutes long and will be followed by time for discussion. We'll move on after our talk to Hacky Hour (Penny Lane Café, 3.00 pm to 4.00 pm) where people can get help on statistics and bioinformatics, high performance computing and other data-related things.
Speaker: Gordana Popovic, Statistical Consultant, Stats Central.
Date and Time: Thursday, 19th September 2019, 2.30 pm to 3.00 pm
Location: Mathews Theatre C, Kensington Campus (D23), UNSW Sydney
