REGRESSION

INTRODUCTION

The meaning of the word “Regression” is stepping back or returning


to the average value
It is the statistical tool used to estimate the unknown value of one
variable from known value of the related variable is called regression
Correlation considers the joint variation of two variables, neither of
which is restricted by the researcher whereas regression considers the
variation of one variable when another is held fixed at several levels
For example, the study of the relationship between intelligent quotient
of students and grade of schools, blood pressure and metabolism of
cell

It an simple statistical tool used to show a relationship between two


variables
Though simple, it does not give an accurate result
It is used to show the “Cause and effect” relationship between the two
kinds of data and to provide more useful information about the
production process
Independent variable is placed on horizontal, X- axis and dependent is
placed at vertical, Y-axis

X = independent factor X = dependent factor
Y = dependent factor Y = independent factor

b = slope of the line b = slope of the line

APPLICATION

Regression is useful in various types of analysis


It can be applied to obtain the most probable values of one series for
given value of the other related series. For example series of supply and
price
Coefficient of regression is used to assess how strong the linear
relationship is between two variables
It is sometimes known as goodness of fit
It is represented as value between 0 to 1, 0 indicating that the outcome
cannot be predicted by any of the independent variables, 1 indicated a
perfect fit or the outcome can be predicted by any of the independent
variables
