Due to Labor Day, we will not have in-person classes this week (all sections). For Monday sections, this recorded class will replace the final class on Dec 4th.
In this session, we will discuss potential issues with regressions, such as outliers. Finally, we will talk about models with discrete outcomes, and how we can tackle some of these issues.

StatQuest. (2018). “Logistic Regression”. Note: Start at the 3:09 mark (Important: A logistic regression is NOT the same as a regression with a log(Y) outcome, as seen on the previous class)
