Module 2: Foundations of Regression (OLS) STATA playlist Open the full YouTube playlist Ordinary least squares (OLS) is the starting point for most applied analysis because it provides a simple way to estimate linear relationships between an outcome and one or more predictors. In this course, OLS matters both as a method in its own right and as the baseline model students must understand before learning why binary-outcome models require a different framework. This module focuses on coefficient interpretation, the idea of a fitted line, and the logic of estimating expected changes in the dependent variable while holding other variables constant. Learning goals Interpret coefficients clearly. Understand what OLS is estimating. Recognize why OLS is the foundation for later modules. Core STATA command regress y x1 x2 x3
