1 CPE This course is focused on a special kind of regression that can help with making more accurate financial analyses. A common issue when dealing with large data sets is that multiple variables are changing at the same time and some of those variables are unobservable. To deal with this, a technique called a fixed effects regression needs to be used. The focus of this module is on applying fixed effects regressions in the context of business.

Decent course for the subject matter. Would have preferred the examples in something that is more common and widely used like excel though since many may not have Stata.
