After two weeks, I'm finally done!
In this post, I explain different approaches for solving linear regression in R: directly, using QR, singular value and Cholesky decompositions, and do some benchmarking for comparison with in-built approaches.

If you're a PG student, researcher, or professional who uses/ needs to use #EO satellite data for marine research, I cannot recommend this free course (or the trainers) highly enough. From ocean colour to sea surface temperature and altimetry, the training (and #python code!) you get is top notch 🌍🛰️
