Reading material for Week 36/2025

[Dammalapati Sai Krishna]

No one attended the previous meet. Please let me know if other timings or lesser frequency would be more feasible.

Last week's reading was on Lineari Regression. It was a pretty simple chapter and did not really go into the depths of it. All of Statistics and Regression & Other Stories cover Linear Regression better. We can pick them up if required.

There is a statement in this chapter that "regressions can rule out explanations." I don't think so. In one of my blogs, I wrote how regression falsely rules out an explanation: Interpreting Regression Coefficients. Do regressions with categorical independent variables and then plot them visually to really understand what they are trying to do.

Please add your thoughts to this thread. 

For the next week, lets read till the 8th chapter (Concavity-Convexity) of Model Thinker

The call will be on September 8th, Sunday, at 10AM tentatively. Please suggest alternative timings that would be more feasible for you.

Best,

Krishna.
