Regression Analysis and Econometrics-I (STAT-6209)

Introduction

This course introduces the regression methods for analysing data in regression. This course emphasizes both the theoretical and the practical aspects of statistical analysis, focusing on techniques for estimating regression models of various kinds.

Learning outcomes

  • The goal is to help the students to develop a solid theoretical background in the regression analysis.
  • This course helps in predicting and forecasting the results.
  •  To enable the students how output depends on the other inputs(factors).
