Milestone 2: Regression Analysis​ ​Guidelines and Rubric

Overview:
The objective of this milestone is to fit and estimate a regression model to predict the response variable for the ​same dataset that you selected
in Milestone 1. ​You will document the key and relevant steps or plans, and include them in your report and appendices.

Prompt:
For detailed instructions on how to complete this milestone, please refer to the Milestone 2 handout for your specific dataset, available in
Blackboard:

1. College Admission Data
2. Tech Sales Rep Data
3. Longitudinal Survey Data

Submission Guidelines​: Your final submission must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point
Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, and should include the tables in an appendix.

Instructor Feedback:​ This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center.
