Introduction to Simple Linear Regression

An introduction to simple linear regression.

The pain-empathy data is estimated from a figure given in:

Singer et al. (2004). Empathy for pain involves the affective but not sensory components of pain. Science, 303:1157--1162.

The Janka hardness-density data is found in:

Hand, D.J., Daly, F. , Lunn, A.D., McConway, K., and Ostrowski, E., editors (1994). The Handbook of Small Data Sets. Chapman \& Hall, London.

at 7:25 can you explain the reason of not using _epsilon_..I still didn't get it

your Method of teaching and explanation is fantastic, but you use hard examples in explaining just like in 0:39
it took me a while to understand the question
just use simple examples and you will be the best ever in statistics
