Visualizing numeric vs. categorical

If the explanatory variable is categorical, the scatter plot that you used before to visualize the data doesn't make sense. Instead, a good option is to draw a histogram for each category.

The Taiwan real estate dataset has a categorical variable in the form of the age of each house. The ages have been split into 3 groups: 0 to 15 years, 15 to 30 years, and 30 to 45 years.

taiwan_real_estate is available and ggplot2 is loaded.

You’ll learn the basics of this popular statistical model, what regression is, and how linear and logistic regressions differ. You’ll then learn how to fit simple linear regression models with numeric and categorical explanatory variables, and how to describe the relationship between the response and explanatory variables using model coefficients.

Exercise 1: A tale of two variables Exercise 2: Which one is the response variable?Exercise 3: Visualizing two variables Exercise 4: Fitting a linear regression Exercise 5: Estimate the intercept Exercise 6: Estimate the slope Exercise 7: Linear regression with lm()Exercise 8: Categorical explanatory variables Exercise 9: Visualizing numeric vs. categorical

In this chapter, you’ll discover how to use linear regression models to make predictions on Taiwanese house prices and Facebook advert clicks. You’ll also grow your regression skills as you get hands-on with model objects, understand the concept of "regression to the mean", and learn how to transform variables in a dataset.

In this chapter, you’ll learn how to ask questions of your model to assess fit. You’ll learn how to quantify how well a linear regression model fits, diagnose model problems using visualizations, and understand the leverage and influence of each observation used to create the model.
