Application & Interpretation of Simple Linear Regression
|
|
|
This two-day course is
designed for appraisal professionals who want to use Microsoft ®
Excel in applying statistical methods to valuation problems. The course employs
Excel’s data analysis add-in and charting capabilities to assist in developing
descriptive statistics and in using simple linear regression analysis to
estimate linear relationships between two variables. Topics include descriptive
statistics, charts and tables, an introduction to simple linear regression,
assumptions underlying application of linear regression modeling, nonlinear
curve fitting, prediction and forecasting, data sufficiency, and separation of
pooled data by submarket. Participants will be engaged in hands-on learning,
discovering and applying basic statistical methods to data sets custom built to
illustrate each session’s objectives in a valuation context. This course will
help participants gain a solid understanding of simple linear regression
analysis and be prepared for more advanced multiple linear regression study.
This course is in the Analytics for Valuation Professional
Development Program. View this list of FAQs, which includes information regarding the courses you’ll need to complete the program successfully.
