General info

This is a university project from the course of Statistics and Methodology from Tilburg University. The overall goal is to choose a set of variables (5) among hundreds of them in the World Values Survey and use these variables in a Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) method for both, inference and prediction. In the first case, the goal is to look for significance effect on heppiness while for prediction, the goal is to predict FinStat, that is, financial situation.

The full description of the project can be found here. In addition to that, a report has been done. In the report you can find all the solutions and main insights.
