REGRESSION
• Regression analysis is the process of developing a
statistical model, which is used to predict the value of a
dependent variable by at least one independent
variable.
• In a simple regression analysis, there are two types of
variables
– Dependent Variable: The variable whose value is
influenced or to be predicted. It is called regressed or
explained variable.
– Independent variable: The variable which influences the
value or is used for prediction. It is also called regressor or
predictor or explanatory variable
Simple linear regression analysis is focused on developing a
regression model by which the value of the dependent
variable can be predicted with the help of the
independent variable.
