By the end of this course, learners will be able to apply linear regression techniques, interpret statistical outputs, and implement predictive models using SPSS and Excel. Through a blend of foundational theory and real-world applications, students will gain hands-on experience in analyzing datasets across engineering, energy, and finance.

The course begins with the fundamentals of regression, covering model building, scatter plots, T-values, and interpretation of results. It then progresses to practical case studies, where learners apply regression to scenarios such as copper expansion and energy consumption. Finally, the course explores advanced financial applications, including debt-to-income analysis, credit card debt modeling, and predictive forecasting. What makes this course unique is its practical, cross-domain approachβ€”learners don’t just study equations, but apply regression to engineering problems, sustainability data, and financial risk analysis. By combining SPSS with Excel-based forecasting, the course equips students with industry-relevant skills for predictive analytics, risk assessment, and strategic decision-making. Whether you are a data analyst, business professional, or student, this course will help you transform raw data into actionable insights using regression modeling.

This module introduces the fundamentals of linear regression modeling using SPSS. Learners will explore the conceptual foundations of regression, understand the importance of statistical significance, and practice visualizing data relationships. By the end of this module, students will be able to construct regression equations, interpret coefficients, and evaluate the strength of predictive models.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
