Hello, this is Dimitris.

2
00:00:06,750 --> 00:00:10,830
This week, our lectures focus
on applications of analytics

3
00:00:10,830 --> 00:00:12,620
into interesting areas.

4
00:00:12,620 --> 00:00:14,950
In the first lecture,
we'll describe

5
00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:18,060
how a Princeton professor
used linear regression

6
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:20,190
to predict the quality of wine.

7
00:00:20,190 --> 00:00:22,960
In the second lecture,
we'll discuss the story

8
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,140
of Moneyball, and how
data and analytics was

9
00:00:26,140 --> 00:00:29,060
used to create a
championship team.

10
00:00:29,060 --> 00:00:30,930
Through these examples,
we will teach you

11
00:00:30,930 --> 00:00:32,790
the method of linear regression.

12
00:00:32,790 --> 00:00:36,750
In both lectures, we'll use
data to replicate the models in

13
00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:42,010
R, and so how simple analytics
can create a significant edge.

14
00:00:42,010 --> 00:00:44,010
Let's get started.
