In this part . . .
his part takes you beyond using one variable to pre-
Tdict another variable using a straight line (that’s what
simple linear regression is about). Instead, you find ways
to predict one variable using many, and you also discover
ways to make predictions using curves. Finally, you make
predictions for probabilities, not just average values. It’s a
one-stop-shopping place for all things regression. Because
these methods allow you to solve more complex prob-
lems, they lend themselves nicely to many real-world
applications.
