Regression analysis
Regression analysis is one of the most common methods of prediction. It is used whenever
we have a causal relationship between variables.
For an example, The amount of money you spend depends on the amount of money you
earn.
Linear Regression
A linear regression is a linear approximation of a causal relationship between two or more
variables.

Linear Regression
Y = F (x1, x2, …. xn)
Y is the predicted value of the dependent variable (Y) for any given value of the
independent variable (X).
Dependent Variable - The factor being influenced by others. Y - is the variable we are
trying to predict and it's called the dependent variable.
Y = β0 + β1X1 + Є
• y is the predicted value of the dependent variable (y) for any given value of the
independent variable (x).
• B0 is the intercept, the predicted value of y when the x is 0.
• B1 is the regression coefficient – how much we expect y to change as x increases.
• x is the independent variable ( the variable we expect is influencing y).
• e is the error of the estimate, or how much variation there is in our estimate of the
regression coefficient.
