Linear regression: The appearance of presence and strength of a linear relationship or correlation between two quantitative variables. A linear regression can be tested by calculating the correlation coefficient (r) between variables. This approach is one of (many) tools for data analysis. A caveat however, correlations don't always correspond to actual, causal, linked relationships - they may simply be coincidental. Pearson's correlation coefficient is calculated as the ratio of covariance between two sets of paired data values, easily represented visually as a scatter plot. In essence it is a line fitted to a cloud plot of points, data pairs along two axes (x and y). This test assumes that a linear dependence can be fitted between pairs of x & y values on the scatter plot. (review the Wikipedia article  for examples of false correlations). Note, it ignores sequence importance (for example if a third property/value like time is recorded). It simply focuses on whether value...

100,000 Computers Tuesday, November 14th was a big day for us! President Michael D. Higgins (and Patron of Camara Education) along with his wife Sabina presided over the milestone event which saw our 100,000th computer presented to St. Patrick’s National School, Chapelizod, Dublin. In the words of President Higgins: “I just think the work of Camara is so important. It is a form of literacy really, that every child would have access to a computer. One of the most important moral issues of our time is the form in which science and technology will impact our lives, and the importance in delivering advances in science and technology, and intelligence in a way that the largest numbers of people will have their lives enhanced, rather than endangered. We’re standing here today and celebrating a very important event in Camara’s story.” For more see the #ReuseIT Campaign President Michael D. Higgins celebrates 100,000th computer milestone event with Camara!
