Week 6 — Two Variables
Midterm A
The first midterm exam will be from 5PM Wednesday through 5PM Saturday.
This week's learning outcomes are:
- Display two potentially-related numeric variables for exploratory analysis.
- Compute correlation coefficients between variables
- Run a linear regression
This week's videos are also available as a Panopto playlist.
Midterm Assessment Protocol
This week, the Center for Teaching and Learning is conducting a midterm course assessment for this course, to give me feedback on how it is going and how to improve. This survey will be open for one week. The link is in Piazza.
Introduction
This video introduces the week's topic.
Displaying Variables
This video discusses how to display related numeric variables.
Correlation
This video discusses how to compute the correlation coefficient between two variables.
Error in Video
In this video, I list the Pandas correlation function as cor. The correct name is corr.
Week 6 Quiz — MAP
The Week 6 quiz is completing the Midterm Assessment Process. See Piazza for details.
Regression
This video discusses how to fit a line between two variables.
Correlation Notebook
The correlation notebook shows how to compute the metrics in this week's videos, and has the code I used to produce the charts in the slides.
Features
This video introduces the idea of feature engineering
Midterm A
The first midterm is at the end of the week. It will be released at 5 PM Wednesday, and due at 5PM on Saturday. It is written to take just over an hour.
