This module introduces learners to the fundamentals of regression and lays the groundwork for understanding logistic regression. Beginning with an overview of regression analysis, the module explores how dependent and independent variables interact, the role of coefficients, and the importance of error terms in modeling. Learners will examine practical applications of regression in real-world problem-solving and policymaking. The module then transitions into different probability prediction methods, highlighting when and why logistic regression is more appropriate than ordinary least squares (OLS). By the end, learners will have a solid conceptual foundation for applying logistic regression to binary outcomes in analytics and decision-making contexts.

This module deepens the learner’s understanding of logistic regression by focusing on key modeling concepts, practical approaches, and industry-standard methodologies. Learners will explore foundational ideas such as observation periods, validation samples, and outlier treatment before moving into logistic regression’s core principles, including the logit transformation, odds-to-probability conversion, and the importance of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). The module introduces practical approaches such as the Binning, Continuous, and Dummy Variable methods to improve model stability. Learners will then engage with SAS-based methodologies for variable selection, PROC LOGISTIC procedures, and evaluation techniques such as concordant/discordant pairs and global vs local measures of model fit. By the end of this module, learners will have the applied knowledge to build, evaluate, and refine logistic regression models in real-world data science and analytics contexts.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
