=== Week 7: Thursday May 16: Linear Regression ===

'''Required Readings:'''

* Diez, Barr, and Çetinkaya-Rundel: §7 (Introduction to linear regression); §8.1-8.3 (Multiple regression)
* OpenIntro eschews a mathematical instruction to correlation. Can you look over [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_and_dependence the Wikipedia article on correlation and dependence] and pay attentions to the formulas. It's tedious to compute but I'd like to you to at least see what goes into it.
* Verzani: §11.1-2 (Linear regression),
* Lampe, Cliff, and Paul Resnick. 2004. “Slash(Dot) and Burn: Distributed Moderation in a Large Online Conversation Space.” In ''Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '04)'', 543–550.
