Despite the utility and ubiquity of statistical modeling in everyday life, many introductory statistics students struggle to connect their coursework to their interests. Predictive models can be applied to a broad range of topics, from the global scale to the individual. The current poster presents a model built to predict how highly the author will rate a new jacket, using ratings of 39 other jackets as reference points. Using jacket measurements, marked size, and price as predictors, the model was able to explain 77% of the variation in the author’s jacket preferences. This poster helps show students that they can apply statistical modeling to their own interests.
