Statistics 101: Linear Regression, Algebra, Equations, and Patterns

[@ziklag78]

Brandon, you have a great voice. I like your steady speaking style, as often my professor speaks too quickly to rush through her lectures. You are a big help!

[@BrandonFoltz]

+Matthew Harding Thanks man! I appreciate it :) Many profs would like to have more time to teach and I have been there myself. But glad you found the channel helpful.

[@aaronlip8828]

+Brandon Foltz My professor is really disorganized, and drones through poorly chosen examples. The lectures are significantly less informative than the textbook. Your videos build the concepts really well, and I'd love if introductory lecturers were this skilled.

[@georgiosstavrinos3023]

To me it's like I'm taught stats by Seth Rogen :) Which makes it super fun :) Great voice indeed and very clear explanations

7 years later, these videos are saving my life. thank you brandon you are truly a king among men

[@bopan7089]

I hope China has teachers like Brandon. This man deserves more views and likes. I can't imagine how much effort he took to design the course, write the script, make the slides and make the videos. Every time I found teachers like Brandon, I truly feel that the world is becoming better and better.

[@basilezzat1]

I never comment on any videos I watch but you are one heck of a teacher! Thanks a million and god bless you.

[@BrandonFoltz]

Oh thanks Basil! I am sure you are one heck of a student! All my best to you and everyone in your part of the world. Keep studying hard! - B

OMG! i love you, you are the people that make this world so much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sruthikajohn7232]

I agree.Making an informative and well thought out KZbin tutorial video is one of the most selfless acts!

[@fisayoadeniyan8713]

Dear Brandon, you are the best teacher I have ever come across online. I am really impressed with your simple and easy to understand teaching style. Keep up the good work. I have really benefited from your videos. God bless you.

[@TheChrissanjiv]

Brandon , This is one of the best paced ,clear and crisp teaching on statistics I have seen , Have seen only the first two videos, but loving statistics the more I watch, Thank you so much for this great service. Keep at it brother, God bless.

[@lafavemark]

After years of clinical work, I find myself returning to your videos for greater conceptual clarity to understand psycho-metric stats. Your videos are amazing! High five!

[@chidam3732]

Wow 8 yrs in still the best content ! Thanks for doing so much to the community ! I will try to help others too .

[@BrandonFoltz]

Much appreciated!

[@daegudude1048]

I really like the style of you teaching because you slowly heading to the more in-depth concepts, whereas universities more like throw tons of equations at you and want you to figure out all the things. I really appreciate all the works you do and you trying to get us understood better! Life savior!

[@HewanDemissie]

You are blessed and gifted in teaching. Making the difficult lesson simple and understandable is gift from God above. Bless you

[@julianestrada8364]

Dang you are legit B. You seamlessly and soothingly explained and connected the hair pulling act of understanding statistics conceptually, mathematically, and applied research wise. I struggled w Null in undergraduate, graduate, and even my first semester in PhD Program. Until now, I understand a ton now from listening for the last two hours. You are a gentleman and a scholar. God Bless.

[@billmichae]

I have MS degree in Applied Statistics and like to look at how others teach, Brandon is excellent sample of a good stats teacher

[@billmichae]

I am experienced teacher and can say that this fellow is one great teacher.... Peer evaluation: Very creative and organized presentation ...

[@PrasenjitBosebosepra]

Brandon Foltz, this entire series of videos are such a big help for millions of students and working professionals globally. I for sure keep coming back to your videos when ever I have to get clarity on a topic related to statistics.

[@melflo4651]

Okay, Brandon, I am going to transfer my tuitions to you.

[@BrandonFoltz]

Haha OK deal! I'd gladly accept a donation for captions. But having you as a viewer is the best payment. Keep on learning!

[@kayann6700]

Brandon, I need to say thank you for starting your videos with a small reminder that I can do this! I cannot explain how much those brief words of encouragement help me get through my Stats course!

[@akshisaxena4961]

Your videos helped me code linear regression for predicting the next values in an application. Thanks!

[@jessicaskingel9195]

Helping me pass the very last class in my college career. Thank you! My stats professor is a nice guy but there is a language barrier that has made it difficult for me to learn. I really appreciate your videos.

[@johnmcconnell4030]

Your lessons are incredible! They really are helping me with statistics. I like having the opportunity to back up and listen again... You explanations, diagrams, and step by step instructions are making these concepts much easier to understand. Thank you!

[@badriprasadrath5167]

I'd probably spent almost 2 months looking for the best explanation for linear regression and here I found the best one. Thanks a lot for making these videos for us. You are great. Respect you Sir. :)

[@ontariporatam666]

You really are the MVP of statistics videos. Thank you! I cannot tell you how helpful these videos are!

[@THEspindoctor84]

you are such an awesome teacher! I am in the middle of a career shift, trying to get into the technical world of databases, and potentially machine learning and data science. You are helping me alot to get the mathematical underpinning for what I need to succeed!

[@vininderbains4029]

Hello Brandon, I want to thank you for your statistics videos. I always supplement my stats classes with your videos, and I have done very well. I am able to explain concepts well to my classmates, and I have shared your name with every classmate I have. I often find in my field statistics continues to be poorly taught. You make it a whole lot better. Vini Bains ICU RN Masters of nursing student.

[@candycandy6778]

Hey Brandon, you are definitely a life-saver! I could barely understand our lectures in class but I understand yours! Millions of thanks to you!

[@mariawiener8862]

Thank you so much for your videos and your patience in your explanations. I'm going back to school after years off, and these videos are helping me catch up with the things I've forgotten or haven't had a chance to fully learn and understand. You're a lifesaver! Thanks again.

[@Ms.Elizabetha]

I was almost convinced I would not understand statistics. Thank you for breaking it down into basics. I am looking forward to getting better.

[@knunne1]

I learned (read "understood") a lot more than I thought I knew. Great Lesson, Thank You ! Karl

[@wallacevictor7930]

I have to learn that to complete my research. I spent lots of time learning from a course in KZbin that teached me nothing (cause i couldn't understand a thing). I only had to search regression in english to save my paper by finding your channel! Thank you so much!

[@jaynellcooks5203]

OMG!!!! YOU MADE THIS SO MUCH MORE SIMPLER THAN MY PROFESSOR! THANK YOU BRANDON!!😃

[@BrandonFoltz]

+Jaynell Cooks You are welcome! Hang in there you can do it!

[@benicetopapa]

I agree with you !!!

6 years later and I'm here to find inspiration on how to process my thesis data. Thanks a bunch for the explanation. I got here after watching the first part

[@DianthaV]

My mind was blown at 18:40, I finally get it! Thanks for the example!!

[@prakash6718]

one of the finest lectures on basics of statistics. Thank you Brandon Foltz for these beautifully explained concepts.

[@dr.lingarajugm3930]

Teaching is an art that you have demonstrated... excellent delivery

[@Chris-is9fm]

The speed of delivery is just right, and very clear. Kudos to you!

[@sruthikajohn7232]

I appreciate the trouble you went into to revise the basic concepts of algebra. That's where most of us are confused. Thank you!

[@mahfuzulhaquenayeem8561]

You are an exceptional educator! I'm currently navigating a career transition, aiming to enter the technical realm of data analytics, and possibly branching into data science. Your tutorials are proving invaluable in building the necessary statistical foundation for my success. Thanks a lot! Best wishes...

[@kenyumbagra5835]

You are the only person who made it simple for me, others just give me formula to memorize. Thank you so much, please keep making videos like this! Love from India ~~~

[@andrecarter2358]

You are a GRADE SAVER! I am in grad school for economics and I come from political science background. I get so lost here, thank you for making this simple and easy to understand!!!!

[@gcumauma3319]

Very lucid. Your lecture is a great help. Nobody explained it better!

[@mandanamardare2016]

I only comment on your videos because it's impossible not to do so! you are such a great teacher and help! and I am so happy and thankful that you decided to share your knowledge with others. Thank you so much!!

[@sophiewilson9536]

i literally cannot thank you enough for these videos

[@alexferraiuolo]

These videos were excellent! I'm watching them before I take my statistics class in college, to get a real leg up. Your models are interesting and very easy to comprehend. Thank you for them!

[@kevinvarghese7952]

Hello Brandon ! I am a student doing my masters in Economics in the UK and at times I find the lectures and the tutorials not enough to explain my doubts and queries regarding econometrics and stats. Especially since I don't have a strong base in metrics, I find it a little more harder to cope. But with your channel and the explanations, I'm now able to get back on track and am understanding things faster. Thanks to your easy way of explaining and taking each section step by step. Thanks a lot !!

[@guiromer5380]

Sir , you are a great teacher. Thank you for making it that simple.

[@NathanialStepford]

Hard going but well made. Great balance between teaching and time. Definitely going to help with my Msc. Thanks.

[@magellanstrat]

Thank you for the reply Brandon! I run a quantitative and qualitative survey research and predictive modeling firm called Magellan Strategies in Colorado. We do a lot of political work, and run models predicting voter behavior and issue preferences. We hire math majors right out of college to be project managers, and they typically need a refresher on the basics of linear regression for both quantitative survey research and to some extent understanding predictive models and algorithms. Your videos are fantastic and I look forward to using them extensively as we train people up. Thank you for investing your time in these.

[@BrandonFoltz]

David Flaherty Awesome. I have a fantastic contact in the Boulder area if you ever need a consultant. Thanks again!

[@Nissearne12]

I like you slow detailed teaching method it makes it crystal clear that way.

[@offsxtx]

I’ve gotten help by your vids last year, now again this year. Thank you so much, and the intro speech always helps so much !

[@edmarkowitz9873]

oUTSTANDING - simple, straightforward, well paced

[@robear888]

You are an amazing instructor! Thank you for sharing this learning module with us.

[@mthom1106]

I love that you are soo encouraging in the beginning!

[@timestigertoes6571]

you really are the best sir. I'm a 2nd year engineering student and always thought that there was no course better than engineering, but after doing a course on statistics and watching most of your videos, im afraid to say STATS comes close and it scares me :-)..Statistics is amazing an you make it even seem easy. I wish you lectured the whole world

[@DoctorRAZ]

Thank you so much for making videos based more on concepts and visualization, rather than calculation. Very well done in content and presentation!

[@ShannonLamberson]

Thank you! Another great video. You are helping me get thru my masters level advanced statistics class.

[@micheleeaton6390]

Brendon....THANK YOU for understanding your audience and being an educator as well as a practitioner. These are excellent videos, with clear, well planned explanations of abstract statistical concepts and how to interpret them, especially nice for social science students, who don't often get the necessary course background. More teachers like you needed in higher ed. You should also know that you were instrumental in helping me defend my candidacy research. Well done. ---M. Eaton, Doctoral Candidate, Educational Leadership Research & Policy, University of Colorado

[@bybyesanbaby]

Excellent illustration in simple form!! Enjoying all of your series

[@saarvad1]

Thanks a ton man. Great way to refresh the topics learnt 20 years ago but never used at work

[@satyasridharpatel]

Very effective way of teaching Brandon. Thank you very much your time and effort in creating and uploading these videos. You are really helping a lot of people who are interested to learn statistics but are afraid of being ridiculed in a regular fast paced class. Thank you very much once again and continue your great service. Truly appreciate your efforts.

[@o60-t9s]

Thank you, Brandon, You're my hero Perfect presentation (Voice, examples, graphics)

[@stevencampasjr.2840]

You are a great teacher. You make statistics seem very easy. Thank you.

[@amirabile6338]

I am currently doing correlational methods (research psych) and I must say watching your videos enabled me to understand all the little pieces that were missing from my comprehension of this area of study! You have been a great help and really wish you were my lecturer! Would've aced this unit :)

[@jameskelly9740]

your tutorials are really clear, they help me understand statistics more deeply and improve my own teaching/supervision of others.

[@Wobimadahondo]

I wish I had a teacher like you at my younger days!

[@Roland1907]

Hi Brandon, You are just awesome . I went through a ton of videos and still didn't understand the concepts until you explained it. You have broken the concepts down really well. Thank you so much.Tc

[@salohiddinqutbiddinov6182]

Couldn't have been better!

[@hopebabitz5323]

[@revathisahajpal8637]

Thanks Brandon.The videos seem so perfectly organised and help me in understanding concepts in a manner that I will never forget them.

[@muhammadsaufiothman7740]

Never thought that the linear regression that i built can be compared with mean of dependent i.e. Without any independent present. Thanks brandon for opening my eyes

[@sethhhh]

tysm, u make me enjoy regression. sebelumnya bener bener gapaham sama konsepnya 🥺❤️

[@bigwilliestyle20]

Thanks bro, haven't had business stat in a year and my analytics teacher isn't doing any review. These videos are really helping!

No one has explained RA this way to me. With this explanation i can go straight to using R programming to predict some twitter tweets! Thank you!

[@lucid2322]

You have very soothing voice which makes us to grasp the concept very easily. I sometimes go into sleep during watching your videos.

[@sarahbardeskar2269]

Well that's embarassing, I of course meant to say Brandon, not Brian. :)

[@yasirayaz7832]

I love the way you explained regression. You are awesome !!!

[@ahmedtherawi]

Thanks a million Brandon. I really appreciate this. You're a great teacher and very generous to share this. I have a question please, where did we get the bill ($) from? Did we assume it or did we get it from an equation? I didn't really grasp that part. 22:25 Thanks again.

[@Ronja5200]

Your videos are amazingly helpful, and you are a great teacher. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these! They have really made regression a lot more understandable.

[@milanhenegamage3576]

Thank you. You are a born teacher!

[@vishraj30]

Thank You for your wonderful videos! I was struggling with a homework assignment on Linear Regression and your videos help me understand the topic and solve the problem. I would love it if you could do similar videos on Confidence Levels and Confidence intervals

Thank you for this. I was about to give up on this chapter and this helped majorly. I have a final tomorrow, very nervous. Pray for me yall

[@nunvikingsofthesea]

Great video brandon! Its not a difficult concept to understand when you explain it, can't say the same about my prof and textbook. I hate how textbooks nowadays are filled with so much useless fluff, overcomplicating a simple idea.
