The concepts behind linear regression, fitting a line to data with least squares and R-squared, are pretty darn simple, so let's get down to it! NOTE: This StatQuest comes with a companion video for how to do linear regression in R:    • Linear Regression in R, Step-by-Step  
You can also find example code at the StatQuest github: https://github.com/StatQuest/linear_r...
