Join us for another insightful session in the Unilorin R User Group Meetup Series. This edition focuses on how to use R to explore relationships among variables and build predictive models that address real-world challenges. The session is designed to guide participants from foundational concepts to practical application, ensuring a smooth learning experience.

🔍 Audience Takeaways
Participants will gain hands-on understanding and practical skills for integrating AI tools into R. Key learning points include:

• Correlation Analysis in R: Start with the basics by examining how two variables move together. You’ll learn how to compute and interpret correlation coefficients and understand when correlation can hint at predictive potential.
• Introduction to Regression in R: Building on correlation, you’ll be introduced to regression as a more powerful tool for quantifying relationships and making predictions. This section explains what regression is, why it matters, and how it improves on simple correlation.
• Core Regression Techniques: Deepen your understanding through hands-on exploration of simple linear regression, multiple regression, and essential model diagnostics. You’ll learn how to check assumptions, measure model performance, and interpret outputs accurately.
• Data Analysis Workflow for Predictive Modelling: See how everything fits together as you walk through a full workflow: importing data, cleaning and preparing it, exploring patterns, building models, and evaluating results using tidyverse tools.
• Real-World Use Case: Predicting Outcomes with R: Finally, apply what you've learned to a real dataset. This case study demonstrates how regression models can address real-world questions and support data-driven decision making.

This session is designed to be practical, engaging, and accessible for participants at all levels. You’ll leave with a solid understanding of how to move from identifying relationships in data to building reliable predictive models using R.
