Definition:
It is statistical measure used to
determine probable or average form
of relationship between two or more
variables. The objective of this
analysis is to predict the value of
unknown variable corresponding to
the given value of another variable.
Two types of Regression:
1) Linear Regression
2) Non-linear Regression
1. Regression line of Y on X - -
2. Regression line of x on y - -
of X on Y is given by x = c + dy which is - -
----------(1)
The normal equations are:
+ ----------(2)
+ + -----------(3)
Standard error of estimate:
It is a measure of difference between the observed
sample y- values and the predicted values obtained
from regression line. It is denoted by and given as
= (where is the predicted y value)
This formula is not convenient as it requires to
calculate the estimated value of Y the equivalent
formula is
= [=] [=]
[=n]
The smaller the value of a standard error of estimate
the closer are the dots to the regression line and
better is the estimate based on the equation of the
line.
Standard error of a= Intercep Slope

Problem 2:
Ten steel wires of diameter 0.5 mm and length 2.5m
were extended in a laboratory by applying vertical
forces of varying magnitudes. Results are as follows:
Force (kg) x 15 19 25 35 42 48 53 56 62 65
