  Metrics you can use to evaluate your Regression Model: 1.        R Square (Coefficient of Determination)   - This metric explains the percentage of variance explained by covariates in the model. It ranges between 0 and 1. But it's a good practice to consider adjusted R² than R² to determine model fit. 2.        Adjusted R² - The problem with R² is that it keeps on increasing as you increase the number of variables, regardless of the fact that the new variable is actually adding new information to the model. To overcome that, we use adjusted R² which doesn't increase (stays same or decrease) unless the newly added variable is truly useful. 3.        F Statistics   - It evaluates the overall significance of the model,   It is the ratio of explained variance by the model by unexplained variance. It compares the full model with an intercept only (no predictors) model. Its va...

Hypothesis Testing

  What is hypothesis testing ? It’s a statistical method that is used in making statistical decisions using experimental data. Hypothesis Testing is basically an assumption that we make about the population parameter Ex : you say avg student in class is 40 or a boy is taller than girls. all those example we assume need some statistic way to prove those. we need some mathematical conclusion what ever we are assuming is true. 1.            Why do we use it ? A  hypothesis test  evaluates two mutually exclusive statements about a population to determine which statement is best supported by the sample data. When  we  say that a finding is statistically significant, it’s thanks to a  hypothesis test .       What are Basics of hypothesis? The basic of hypothesis is  normalisation  and  standard normalisation . all our hypothesis is revolve around basic of these 2 terms. concept of z-score c...
