LINEAR REGRESSION

Linear regression analysis is used to predict the value of a variable based on the value of
another variable.
The variable you want to predict is called the dependent variable. The variable you are using
to predict the other variable’s value is called the independent variable.
STEPS FOR LINEAR REGRESSION

Step 1: Dummy data is created in the excel sheet where ther are three variable.
 Demo 1
 Coping
 adjustment
Step 2: the dummy data is then exported to SPSS.

Step 3: Here in the variable view each of the variable is given a measure like demo 1 is
nominal measure , coping is scale measure and adjustment is nominal scale.
Step 3: After that the analyses option is clicked from which we have to opt for regression and
then to the liner option.

Step 4: After clicking on the Linear regression option the variable adjustment will come in
dependant variable and coping will come in the independent variable pane box. After that we
have to press the ok button.
Step 5: The output is generated where the significance level is checked.

Step 6: After the significance level is checked the coefficient is checked .
