Statistics 101: Linear Regression, Algebra, Equations, and Patterns
So this Statistics 101 video is the next in our series about Simple Linear Regression. In our last video, we talked about the very basics of regression. First, we discussed what residuals are. Then we learned about the sum of squares of the residuals. Lastly, we talked about how a regression model is actually a comparison to a special model where the independent variable does not even exist and we just use the mean of the dependent variable.
In this video, we are going to talk about some of the nuts and bolts of regression. I will introduce some basic terminology and concepts that will carry you through your work using regression. We will talk about how regression is related to the algebra of lines and discuss general patterns to look for on scatterplots. There are no formulas or calculations in this video. The goal is to help better prepare you for interpreting regression analysis when it is performed.
So if you are new to Regression or are still trying to figure out exactly what it even IS...this video is for you. So sit back, relax, and let's go ahead and get to work.

Brandon, you have a great voice. I like your steady speaking style, as often my professor speaks too quickly to rush through her lectures. You are a big help!

+Matthew Harding Thanks man! I appreciate it :) Many profs would like to have more time to teach and I have been there myself. But glad you found the channel helpful.

+Brandon Foltz My professor is really disorganized, and drones through poorly chosen examples. The lectures are significantly less informative than the textbook. Your videos build the concepts really well, and I'd love if introductory lecturers were this skilled.

Much appreciated!
6 years later and I'm here to find inspiration on how to process my thesis data. Thanks a bunch for the explanation. I got here after watching the first part
Brandon, I need to say thank you for starting your videos with a small reminder that I can do this! I cannot explain how much those brief words of encouragement help me get through my Stats course!
Brandon , This is one of the best paced ,clear and crisp teaching on statistics I have seen , Have seen only the first two videos, but loving statistics the more I watch, Thank you so much for this great service. Keep at it brother, God bless.
Your videos helped me code linear regression for predicting the next values in an application. Thanks!
oUTSTANDING - simple, straightforward, well paced
I’ve gotten help by your vids last year, now again this year. Thank you so much, and the intro speech always helps so much !
You really are the MVP of statistics videos. Thank you! I cannot tell you how helpful these videos are!
the start of this video gave me hope. THANK YOU KIND HUMAN
Literally the best teacher Ive ever had. Keep it up lad
Hey Brandon, you are definitely a life-saver! I could barely understand our lectures in class but I understand yours! Millions of thanks to you!
Thank you so much for your videos and your patience in your explanations. I'm going back to school after years off, and these videos are helping me catch up with the things I've forgotten or haven't had a chance to fully learn and understand. You're a lifesaver! Thanks again.
Your lessons are incredible! They really are helping me with statistics. I like having the opportunity to back up and listen again... You explanations, diagrams, and step by step instructions are making these concepts much easier to understand. Thank you!
I really like the style of you teaching because you slowly heading to the more in-depth concepts, whereas universities more like throw tons of equations at you and want you to figure out all the things. I really appreciate all the works you do and you trying to get us understood better! Life savior!
Thanks Brandon.The videos seem so perfectly organised and help me in understanding concepts in a manner that I will never forget them.
you are spectacular teacher Brandon. Hard thanks for you:)
Brandon Foltz, this entire series of videos are such a big help for millions of students and working professionals globally. I for sure keep coming back to your videos when ever I have to get clarity on a topic related to statistics.
I'd probably spent almost 2 months looking for the best explanation for linear regression and here I found the best one. Thanks a lot for making these videos for us. You are great. Respect you Sir. :)
After years of clinical work, I find myself returning to your videos for greater conceptual clarity to understand psycho-metric stats. Your videos are amazing! High five!
I have MS degree in Applied Statistics and like to look at how others teach, Brandon is excellent sample of a good stats teacher
I learned (read "understood") a lot more than I thought I knew. Great Lesson, Thank You ! Karl
you are such an awesome teacher! I am in the middle of a career shift, trying to get into the technical world of databases, and potentially machine learning and data science. You are helping me alot to get the mathematical underpinning for what I need to succeed!
Happy Christmas Brandon. Your videos are a real blessing. They literally make me look forward to learning! God bless.
Dang you are legit B. You seamlessly and soothingly explained and connected the hair pulling act of understanding statistics conceptually, mathematically, and applied research wise. I struggled w Null in undergraduate, graduate, and even my first semester in PhD Program. Until now, I understand a ton now from listening for the last two hours. You are a gentleman and a scholar. God Bless.
Thanks a ton man. Great way to refresh the topics learnt 20 years ago but never used at work
i literally cannot thank you enough for these videos
Your videos have been a huge help to me! Thank you so much for all your time and effort!
I have to learn that to complete my research. I spent lots of time learning from a course in KZread that teached me nothing (cause i couldn't understand a thing). I only had to search regression in english to save my paper by finding your channel! Thank you so much!
one of the finest lectures on basics of statistics. Thank you Brandon Foltz for these beautifully explained concepts.
Helping me pass the very last class in my college career. Thank you! My stats professor is a nice guy but there is a language barrier that has made it difficult for me to learn. I really appreciate your videos.
The speed of delivery is just right, and very clear. Kudos to you!
Your videos are amazingly helpful, and you are a great teacher. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these! They have really made regression a lot more understandable.
Thank you. You are a born teacher!
huge help! thank you so much! love the introduction adds much motivation!
You are an amazing instructor! Thank you for sharing this learning module with us.
Teaching is an art that you have demonstrated... excellent delivery
Thank you ! Your very detailed in your explanation!!! You've been a lot of help in getting me through this class !!
I only comment on your videos because it's impossible not to do so! you are such a great teacher and help! and I am so happy and thankful that you decided to share your knowledge with others. Thank you so much!!
These videos were excellent! I'm watching them before I take my statistics class in college, to get a real leg up. Your models are interesting and very easy to comprehend. Thank you for them!
Wish you were my professor,Brandon!Hats off to the efforts you've taken in making these videos.
I was almost convinced I would not understand statistics. Thank you for breaking it down into basics. I am looking forward to getting better.
You are blessed and gifted in teaching. Making the difficult lesson simple and understandable is gift from God above. Bless you
I have become glued to your videos, good job.
Very effective way of teaching Brandon. Thank you very much your time and effort in creating and uploading these videos. You are really helping a lot of people who are interested to learn statistics but are afraid of being ridiculed in a regular fast paced class. Thank you very much once again and continue your great service. Truly appreciate your efforts.
I love your explanations! Thanks so much
I appreciate the trouble you went into to revise the basic concepts of algebra. That's where most of us are confused. Thank you!
your tutorials are really clear, they help me understand statistics more deeply and improve my own teaching/supervision of others.
Great video Brandon - Everything explained so clearly. Thank you very much.
I really appreciate the amount of hardwork u have put into the video. Thanks a lot!!!!!
Sir , you are a great teacher. Thank you for making it that simple.

I like you slow detailed teaching method it makes it crystal clear that way.
Very lucid. Your lecture is a great help. Nobody explained it better!
You are a great teacher. You make statistics seem very easy. Thank you.
Hi Brandon, You are just awesome . I went through a ton of videos and still didn't understand the concepts until you explained it. You have broken the concepts down really well. Thank you so much.Tc
You are the only person who made it simple for me, others just give me formula to memorize. Thank you so much, please keep making videos like this! Love from India ~~~
I wast teaching myself about some machine learning stuff, and I was struggling. You saved my ass, Thank you very much!!
You have very soothing voice which makes us to grasp the concept very easily. I sometimes go into sleep during watching your videos.
Thank you! Another great video. You are helping me get thru my masters level advanced statistics class.
Thank you so much. I cant even describe how helpfull you are to me. God bless
Thank you so much for making videos based more on concepts and visualization, rather than calculation. Very well done in content and presentation!
Excellent illustration in simple form!! Enjoying all of your series
Amazing! And Awesome! Thank you for putting information together.
Thank you so much Brandon! You have clearly explained the concepts.
Brendon....THANK YOU for understanding your audience and being an educator as well as a practitioner. These are excellent videos, with clear, well planned explanations of abstract statistical concepts and how to interpret them, especially nice for social science students, who don't often get the necessary course background. More teachers like you needed in higher ed. You should also know that you were instrumental in helping me defend my candidacy research. Well done. ---M. Eaton, Doctoral Candidate, Educational Leadership Research & Policy, University of Colorado
Mr.Foltz, you're a life saver !
I love the way you explained regression. You are awesome !!!
Thank you! Trying to understand the regression analysis better for my study and you explained very well.
Thank you, Brandon, You're my hero Perfect presentation (Voice, examples, graphics)
Your explantion helps me a lot with understanding statistics. Thank you!
You are an exceptional educator! I'm currently navigating a career transition, aiming to enter the technical realm of data analytics, and possibly branching into data science. Your tutorials are proving invaluable in building the necessary statistical foundation for my success. Thanks a lot! Best wishes...
Great! Just what I was looking for. I really appreciate the videos. A big help for my classes :)
Hello Brandon ! I am a student doing my masters in Economics in the UK and at times I find the lectures and the tutorials not enough to explain my doubts and queries regarding econometrics and stats. Especially since I don't have a strong base in metrics, I find it a little more harder to cope. But with your channel and the explanations, I'm now able to get back on track and am understanding things faster. Thanks to your easy way of explaining and taking each section step by step. Thanks a lot !!
I am currently doing correlational methods (research psych) and I must say watching your videos enabled me to understand all the little pieces that were missing from my comprehension of this area of study! You have been a great help and really wish you were my lecturer! Would've aced this unit :)
Thank you so much Sir Brandon for the simplicity of explanation! keep up the good work.
Brandon, Thanks very much. You just created interest for me in statistics. Helps me a lot in machine learning.
Great Job Brandon, and thank you for your videos!
Thanx. Starting to make sense to me through your explanations!
This the best tutorial i ever had...awsome video
My mind was blown at 18:40, I finally get it! Thanks for the example!!
thank you Brandon :) you are a wonderful contribution to this world we live in
you teach this 10x better than my college professor
Every video of your channel helps me to solve my doubts. You are really good.
Thank you Brandon, you've really helped!
Great work! i find this precious in bringing about a kind of joy (not kidding) into my statistics studies. Big thanks.
Thanks for making the things so simple.
Really excellent, with heart to let learners realize the facts or concept behind !
Very clear explanations. Thank you!
I wish I had a teacher like you at my younger days!
