Topic: Things I've learnt the hard way about regression

Regression. It's one of our fundamental tools of the trade. Yet the world of examples we teach in class and the realities of real-world data are far apart. In this talk I share a collection of examples that are odd, interesting and sometimes counterintuitive. Based on my experiences working in prediction and post-stratification based survey inference, my examples include individual versus group prediction, logistic vs linear regression and rare events bias. During the discussion time I hope to leave space for you to share your own weird and wonderful examples.
