  1. Learn how to derive, interpret and use a linear regression equation to describe and predict the relationship between an independent and a dependent variable. See examples, graphs and formulas for simple regression with one IV.

    • Least Squares Criteria for Best Fit. The process of fitting the best-fit line is called linear regression. The idea behind finding the best-fit line is based on the assumption that the data are scattered about a straight line.
    • Understanding Slope. The slope of the line, b, describes how changes in the variables are related. It is important to interpret the slope of the line in the context of the situation represented by the data.
    • The Correlation Coefficient r. Besides looking at the scatter plot and seeing that a line seems reasonable, how can you tell if the line is a good predictor?
    • The Coefficient of Determination. The variable r2 is called the coefficient of determination and is the square of the correlation coefficient, but is usually stated as a percent, rather than in decimal form.
  2. Regression Equation: Overview. A regression equation is used in stats to find out what relationship, if any, exists between sets of data. For example, if you measure a child’s height every year you might find that they grow about 3 inches a year. That trend (growing three inches a year) can be modeled with a regression equation. In fact, most ...

  3. t. e. In statistical modeling, regression analysis is a set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships between a dependent variable (often called the 'outcome' or 'response' variable, or a 'label' in machine learning parlance) and one or more independent variables (often called 'predictors', 'covariates', 'explanatory variables ...
