Applying Linear Regression in R: Separating Slope and Intercept by Item with dplyr and lm
Understanding the Problem and Background In this article, we will explore how to apply linear regression in R for a dataset with multiple groups (items) and calculate the slope and intercept separately for each item. The question arises when trying to group data using group_by() from the dplyr library and then applying the lm() function to find the slope and intercept. To start, let’s define what linear regression is and how it applies to our problem.
