"One effect of mean centering is to change the interpretation of the parameter estimates. In this notebook, we did not mean center the variables which will affect the parameter estimates and their interpretation. It is not that one is correct or incorrect, but one must be cognisant of how mean-centering (or not) affects the interpretation of parameter estimates.
