I honestly don't believe there is any other better Statistics teacher in the world than you. One can just also argue that with the fact that, from the video, it's completely apparent that you make these videos out of a sheer passion for statistics. Hats off man. God bless you.
Thank you for these videos man. Thank you for deciding to make them, you've made such a difference for me. I honestly understand multiple regression so much clearer now. Please keep up the good work, TH-cam needs you, as do many many students around the world!! Love from Ormskirk, England
Thank you so much for these videos Brandon, I don't post on youtube ever but just had to say thank you for making this very confusing area of maths much more intuitive and fun to learn! I have been slowly going through all the Statistics 101 playlists in order and I finally feel like I am understanding these concepts individually and how they relate to each other.
Brandon, like many others who have commented previously I can only reiterate their praise for your brilliant teaching methods. You are, no exaggeration, a hero for providing these tutorials for free without which I think my brain would have definitely melted :) Thank you
Brandon - I have found all your videos extremely helpful both from an academic as well as practical application perspective. You make these "could be extremely confusing concepts" very easy to understand - so thank you. I have subscribed and donated on gofundme. Keep up the good work - looking forward to more from you.
You made me excited for statistics. I didn't even think that was possible. Thank you so much for your videos! I have been struggling all semester to understand these concepts, and you make it seem so easy and understandable. Kudos and please continue what you are doing! You are helping so much people. :)
Thank you so very much. I had no idea of stats before this and was trying my absolute best to do my thesis by reading and watching spss tutorials, but finally your videos made me feel so much more clear in my head. You've made a huge difference. Thank you.
Haven't really seen a better professor than you Brandon.. Hats off for the way you teach ,the way you talk and the way you enlighten me with the knowledge
my God..... thanks very much....you just made me to work in the field of research with full confidence.... great work.... please keep doing such incredible work
You did a great job of choosing an example that showcases that the simplest model can often be the most accurate/representative, while displaying notions of problems associated to multicollinearity and overfitting!
Thank you, Brandon, I am a master's student in the Netherlands struggling with research-intensive courses. I have failed one of the research courses and will have a second attempt in July 2020, I am hoping that after watching your videos, I will have a better grasp of how to interpret research results and how to write a better master's thesis
Hi Brandon, Your presentation is awesome! You've helped solve the problem that I'm having a headache with. Your videos deserve billions of thumb-ups. Thanks!
Thanks for all these brilliant videos Brandon! I've majored in math&stat and now I've been worked for many years. Reviewing the stat knowledge from your videos makes me better understand some concepts than at university then. I've never had such clear clue about how to review a model like now. Thanks Again!
Thank you so much Brandon for your videos. You explained every single point and make the stats be much clearer for me. They are very helpful for my assignment. Such exceptional lectures!
Thanks too much Mr. Brandon, your videos have made a significant improvement for me in understanding econometric, I highly appreciate your efforts, please keep on helping us to empower ourselves, we really need you. God bless you.
I never understand my lecturer did same thing but u explain really well now i understand well. u clear each and every factors and significance of that variable first time i have seen educational video 1 and half hour continiously.
Wow, your video is wonderful. I feel frustrated in other class about linear regression, so I turn here for some help. You really help me! All the concepts are very clear. I have basic important ideas about multiple regression now.
Thank you. Your videos are very clear to understand. :) One hypothesis on why travel time might go down due to increase in gas prices is that there might be fewer cars on the road.
These are amazing...thank you thank you thank you! I have learned statistics so long ago and needed a refresher course...was struggling with the textbooks...your real life examples make everything so simple...thank you again...
I really appreciate your video. I'm studying stats by myself with this series! I totally know it's off the track but want to comment one thing. I think it DOES make sense that if milesTraveled is held constant, then travelTime is expected to decrease when gasPrice go up. Because if you accelerate more, u need more gas then you accelerate less.(assuming you are traveling the same distance) Obviously, more acceleration reduces travelTime. I understood y x1, x3 regression is pointless. Just wanted to say the minus coefficient might make sense in a real world. Sorry for my coarse English. I'm not native so I wonder if I used right words for the points I want to make.
Hello Brandon, Exceptional lectures! Thank you very much for making it available to all of us. Finally, statistics make sense to me. Would you please make these lectures available in a book format? Majority of statistic books are hard to understand or use. Your instructions are extremely helpful and practical. Even if you make it available in a pdf format, I would love to purchase it. If you don't plan on writing a book, could you please give us some, book, references? Once again, I appreciate your hard work and making it possible to learn something very useful.
Thank you very much for making these videos on stats. Clear,Concise and Simple. I was also looking for advanced topics where we check AIC and BIC. Also, how do we fix the variables when the assumptions are violated? Is there already a video out there? Appreciate your help. Thanks once again.
Hi Brandon, great tutorial video here. A million thanks for the upload. I just have a question on your interpretation regarding relevance of gas price to time travelled. I think in some context this is meaningful. For example, I could imagine that if gas price is high, drivers would maintain high speed to save gas or choose expressways or tollways to avoid traffic. The logic for avoiding traffic is that it increases gas consumption. Hence, the result of these strategies would be lesser time of travel. Would be very glad to hear your idea on this.
Dexter Pante Hi Dexter! That relationship is definitely something that could be explored further if gasPrice had a linear relationship with travelTime to begin with, but in this case it does not. There is no pattern. But you bring up a great point in that when interpreting regression coefficients there is an element of judgement to it. In this example we are using Google to determine the best route based on distance/traffic/location so the route is somewhat predetermined. It would depend on how often the vehicle is being operated near its most fuel efficient speed as well. Going faster to save time usually uses more fuel than the same amount of fuel over the time span that was saved. Cool stuff! :)
+Brandon Foltz You're videos are great, so first, thank you. Just one slight suggestion that may have helped in this scenario. It also took me a few minutes to understand why you excluded the model with gasPrice. In real life, we may get something unexpected that produces an "odd" coefficient, so I was unclear why this would automatically exclude the model. I kept thinking, "although it isn't what we expect, it could be a legitimate finding". However, I realized after I went back to my notes on your previous videos that you covered in your second video that gasPrice was not correlated with travelTime and should have never been included in the model in the first place; you only included it for learning purposes. I think many of us just needed a reminder of that fact in this video (just brief showing of the correlation slide from video 2 that showed no correlation on the scatterplot and/or the Pearson correlation p value).
Your videos are always so thorough and helpful. It's perfect how you take the time to explain it fully! And also take the time to go over obscure but very important side bars!!! Just one comment- the negative coefficient for travel time and gas prices makes ense to me- if gas prices go up drivers are less apt to joy ride or take the long road home ;D
Very good video. :) It was good to refresh everything, you are very good at explaining. I think some more examples in the end, would help. Perhaps with more than three variables. I use multimodel averaging for my work, which is a really good tool to know too about ;)
Hi Brandon, Thank You very much for sharing your knowledge by making these painstaking videos. I saw your videos about multiple regression. Here the two effective indipendent variables are correlated. And so not advisable to use. But what when the two effective variables are not correlated. For example, Let's check start time of the trip for each trip. It is not correlated to number of delivery or miles but the sooner one start, the less traffic they face and thus delivery time reduce if start time is early. In such a case I would like to know if we should use two indipendent variable for regression or one? 2. When there are more delivery in a long trip they are correlated but at times there are more delivery even in short distance in such cases those indipendent variables add value to the model. I mean the independent variables are not constantly correlated and that matters. How to make use of such knowledge in modeling? Will appreciate if you share calculation formula of p value, R, R2, S etc when you run the regression. Having formula in front of eyes reminds definitions easily while evaluating the value of the calculated matric. Thanks. But
at 6:46,it says it does not give a sense that when gas price increases the driving time decrease. fro me it gives a sense. there are drivers who decide o minimize their driving time and distance per specific time in relation to gas price increment. that is why there is even negative relation between the two variables.
I honestly don't believe there is any other better Statistics teacher in the world than you. One can just also argue that with the fact that, from the video, it's completely apparent that you make these videos out of a sheer passion for statistics. Hats off man. God bless you.

Masterpiece. Veritable and digestible 101 presentation
AGREE!!
Incredible, incredible videos. You made multiple regression look like ABCD. Outstanding
Thank you so much for these videos Brandon, I don't post on youtube ever but just had to say thank you for making this very confusing area of maths much more intuitive and fun to learn!

I am listening to you instead of the professor I am taking this class. Since I don't know the basics, your channel is a lifesaver to me.
Seriously the best videos on stats on TH-cam. Brandon Foltz is a world class educator
really AMAZING video! Even a high school student can understand comprehensively.
Thank you so very much. I had no idea of stats before this and was trying my absolute best to do my thesis by reading and watching spss tutorials, but finally your videos made me feel so much more clear in my head. You've made a huge difference. Thank you.

I genuinely appreciate you Mr.Brandon. You are really helping me to finish my thesis. Thanks
So glad I found your videos. They are extremely helpful! You explain things so clearly and the examples you use are relatable. Thank you so much!
no one else can explain this better than you. Thanks much, what you are doing is such a great thing !!
Thanks so much for these videos. I say a prayer for you every time your videos make my eyes widen in comprehension. This is such a lifesaver!
just awesome explanation, make the complex subject simple! that's the best teaching!!!
I'm getting an A in my biostatistics class because of you for my graduate program. Thank you so much for posting these! Not all heroes wear capes
Thanks you Brandon for taking out your time and providing such beautiful lectures. U are awesome.
These videos are just really well done - thanks for all the effort you've put in Brandon!
Hi Brandon, Your presentation is awesome! You've helped solve the problem that I'm having a headache with. Your videos deserve billions of thumb-ups. Thanks!
thanks a lot, good at explaining multiple times so I don't forget this in like 10 min, your a good teacher!
Thanks for all these brilliant videos Brandon! I've majored in math&stat and now I've been worked for many years. Reviewing the stat knowledge from your videos makes me better understand some concepts than at university then. I've never had such clear clue about how to review a model like now. Thanks Again!
respect to Brandon for making multiple regression seems so easy and so much more enjoyable that the class my parents paid for.
These videos have become my standard reference resource for statistics
"VIF above 10 means terminally death problems", never had such a clear explanation about VIF, thanks for your hard work!
Multiple regression never seemed so simple. Thanks a lot for such a detailed explanation Brandon
Thank you so much Brandon for your videos. You explained every single point and make the stats be much clearer for me. They are very helpful for my assignment. Such exceptional lectures!
You're amazing! The video just flew by and I felt like I understood literally everything due to your way of instructing! You have a gift, sir!
Safe to say I think your videos have just saved one of my grades towards my degree, thank you so much Brandon!!! :)
So much appreciation for the time and patience you've put into these videos.
I know you know, but these videos are just so good!!!! You are very knowledgeable, thank you for sharing it with us!
These videos are making my life soooooo much easier !!!!! Thank you very much, Bradon !!!
You're an absolute legend Brandon, thanks for your fantastic teaching!!!
Thanks too much Mr. Brandon, your videos have made a significant improvement for me in understanding econometric, I highly appreciate your efforts, please keep on helping us to empower ourselves, we really need you. God bless you.
Really it is more than very clearly explained . Many thanks prof. Dr Issam m.a.shakir - Iraq-baghdad
Thank you so much!! I was struggling but your videos have really helped. You are the real MVP Brandon.
LOVE your videos. They have really helped me a lot. Very detailed and straightforward! !
Brandon Foltz, your presentations are awesome and very well explained in simplest way.
Just wonderful! I followed the lecture using R and replicating the results, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
man it's so helpful, make me love the multiple regression deeply!!! Appreciate that!!
Mr.Brandon....one word enough to u....YOU ARE "A W E S O M E" ....and u r god to stat students.
I love you!!! There are no words to describe how good you are at teaching!
I never understand my lecturer did same thing but u explain really well now i understand well. u clear each and every factors and significance of that variable first time i have seen educational video 1 and half hour continiously.
Thank you so much Brandon, you made it possible for me to understand the regression. God bless you brother
huge thanks to you for making the video... i cant say how much i am thankful to you...
Love from Nepal
Thanks for this series! You make such an amazing teacher.
A wonderful lesson! I learnt everything in the matter of minutes which otherwise would take me months
I watched the series starting from video 1. Very helpful.
Brandon. Thank you for these videos. You are a blessing my friend!!
You are an excellent teacher. I like your videos very much. Very helpful video to select the best regression model. Thank you very much
Wow that was an awesome lecture. Now I understand model selection!!
I’ve just been schooled! Thank you. Will be bookmarking this.....
Wow, your video is wonderful. I feel frustrated in other class about linear regression, so I turn here for some help. You really help me! All the concepts are very clear. I have basic important ideas about multiple regression now.
Thank you very mucho for these awesome videos Brandon. You're the best!
This is the best series of videos; Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you. Your videos are very clear to understand. :)
One hypothesis on why travel time might go down due to increase in gas prices is that there might be fewer cars on the road.
Brandon, you saved my thesis. Thank you.
These are amazing...thank you thank you thank you! I have learned statistics so long ago and needed a refresher course...was struggling with the textbooks...your real life examples make everything so simple...thank you again...

Thank you for this video. you are a great teacher.
I am soooo happy to find you :D literraly way better than my statistic professor
Thank you very much for making these videos on stats. Clear,Concise and Simple. I was also looking for advanced topics where we check AIC and BIC. Also, how do we fix the variables when the assumptions are violated? Is there already a video out there? Appreciate your help. Thanks once again.

I was so lost in class.
Your video is soooooooooooo helpful
Thank you so much
Another B.F. Masterpiece!
Not all heroes wear capes. Great work!
Excellent series in deed!
Thank you Sir so much.
Hello Brandon. An excellent video tutorial. Really helped alot. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing the video !
Great Going!!! Priceless contribution.
Great !!, simple way of explanation.
Really and extremely helpful Brandon. Thank you very much indeed.
That was not long, that was amazing
