The intuition behind linear regression can be difficult for students to grasp particularly without a readily accessible context. This paper uses basketball statistics to demonstrate the purpose of linear regression and to explain how to interpret its results. In particular, the student will...

In high dimensional data, relevant interactions can be difficult to identify due to the extremely large number of possible interactions among variables. Conventional methods use a screening stage to vastly reduce the dimension of the variable space before examining the interaction effect....
