REGRESSION ANALYSIS

Regression analysis
 Regression means to estimate the value of one variable from a known value of
other variable to which it is related.

 The term regression was first used by Sir Francis Galton in study of heredity

 In linear regression, the relationship between two variables x and y is linear.

 In order to estimate the average values of the two variables two regression
equations are required and they are used separately.

 One equation is used for estimating the value of x variable for a given value of y
variable and the second equation is used for estimating the value of y variable for a
given value of x variable
