...Regression Analysis Definition: Regression is used to examine the relationship between one dependent and one independent variable. After performing an analysis, the regression statistics can be used to predict the dependent variable when the independent variable is known. Regression goes beyond correlation by adding prediction capabilities. Types Of Regression Analysis: Most widely used two types of regression analysis are- I [pic] Linear Regression Analysis: When the regression is conducted by two variables or factors then is called linear regression analysis. Multiple regression analysis: Multiple regression analysis is a technique for explanation of occurrence and calculation of future actions. A coefficient of correlation among variables X also Y is a quantitative index of connection involving these two variables. In squared type, while a coefficient of purpose specifies the quantity of difference in the principle variable Y that is accounted for through the deviation in the analyst variable X.

...reason for my asking. Everyone was willing to participate, as I kept their personal information confidential. I took the survey results and computed with 49 surveys. After analyzing the data I noticed that there were many relationships amongst the variables. Based on the research I concluded that the higher the age the more that they are willing to invest for the current year. There was also a strong relationship between age and income. The older the person, the more money they made. The dependent variable was age. Older people make more money, are more familiar with investments, and are more willing to make larger investments currently. Also, age related to home value in that an increase in age was related to an increase in home value.

Plus giving an overview of these regressions along with what it would mean to a manager (AIU Online). Introduction Regression analysis can help us predict how the needs of a company are changing and where the greatest need will be. That allows companies to hire employees they need before they are needed so they are not caught in a lurch. Our regression analysis looks at comparing two factors only, an independent variable and dependent variable (Murembya, 2013).

...Introduction to Multiple Regression Dale E. Berger Claremont Graduate University http://wise.cgu.edu Overview Multiple regression is a flexible method of data analysis that may be appropriate whenever a quantitative variable (the dependent or criterion variable) is to be examined in relationship to any other factors (expressed as independent or predictor variables). Relationships may be nonlinear, independent variables may be quantitative or qualitative, and one can examine the effects of a single variable or multiple variables with or without the effects of other variables taken into account (Cohen, Cohen, West, & Aiken, 2003). Multiple Regression Models and Significance Tests Many practical questions involve the relationship between a dependent or criterion variable of interest (call it Y) and a set of k independent variables or potential predictor variables (call them X1, X2, X3,..., Xk), where the scores on all variables are measured for N cases. For example, you might be interested in predicting performance on a job (Y) using information on years of experience (X1), performance in a training program (X2), and performance on an aptitude test (X3). A multiple regression equation for predicting Y can be expressed a follows: (1) [pic] To apply the equation, each Xj score for an individual case is multiplied by the corresponding Bj value, the products are added together, and the constant A is added to the...

STATEMENT BY THE AUTHOR I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and, to the best of my knowledge, contains no material previously published or written by another person. Jakarta, 18th of December 2011 ( Daniel Vincent Hadikrisno ) ABSTRACTION The main purpose of this research is to study the behavior of mobile communication device customers; what affects their decision in deciding to purchase and use a particular mobile communication device over the other. This is done by analyzing their statisfaction level towards their current mobile communication device based on factors that the writer have determined beforehand. The data are gathered using questionnaires that are distributed to young adults and adults who are currently using at least one of the three most popular mobile communication devices in Jakarta: Blackbery, iPhone, and Android. The data are then gathered and transformed into three different regression model, where test of significances can be taken towards them. The result is that the three mobile communication devices are each fulfilling a different specific need of the customers. These differences are actually their competitive advantage over their direct competitors. Therefore, should a new product would like to be released, make...

...Probability, Statistics, and Forecasting OPRE 433 Fall 2013 Regression Report Xie Gehui (gxx24@case.edu) Dec 2, 2013 I. Introduction The data set given contains more than one independent variable, so the target of our regression analysis is to build an appropriate multiple regression model. To realize this target, we have to build a multiple linear regression model to test the regression assumptions: model appropriateness, constant variance, independence, and normality. Certainly we need to modify the data set or the model itself to satisfy these assumptions, and at last get the model acceptable. In the original data set that we are going to deal with in this report, there are 20,640 observations of 8 explanatory variables labeled X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, X8 and 1 dependent variable labeled Y. All of the 9 variables are continuous. II. Method of analysis To check the model appropriateness assumption, we need to make sure the functional form is correct. The residual plot will show the pattern suggesting the form of an appropriate model. To check the validity of the constant variance assumption, we need to examine residual plots. A residual plot with a horizontal band appearance suggests that the spread of the error terms around 0 is not changing much as the horizontal plot value increases. Such a plot tells us that the constant variance assumption approximately holds. To check the independence assumption, we need to detect if any positive autocorrelation...

...Significance of Regression Analysis In statistics, regression analysis includes many techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables, when the focus is on the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. More specifically, regression analysis helps one understand how the typical value of the dependent variable changes when any one of the independent variables is varied, while the other independent variables are held fixed. Most commonly, regression analysis estimates the conditional expectation of the dependent variable given the independent variables — that is, the average value of the dependent variable when the independent variables are held fixed. Less commonly, the focus is on a quantile, or other location parameter of the conditional distribution of the dependent variable given the independent variables. In all cases, the estimation target is a function of the independent variables called the regression function. In regression analysis, it is also of interest to characterize the variation of the dependent variable around the regression function, which can be described by a probability distribution. Regression analysis is widely used for prediction and forecasting, where its use has substantial overlap with the field of machine learning. Regression analysis is also used to understand which among the independent variables are related to the dependent variable, and to explore the forms of these relationships. In restricted circumstances...

...–Managerial Economics and Globalization July 21, 2013 College Students buy pizza in large quantities for a cheap price, but if the prices were to increase, then these same students may look for similar alternatives that will not empty their wallets. These are possible alternatives that offer a large quantity of food at a reasonable price that can affect the demand of pizza. However, monitoring the costs of the competing fast food restaurants in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area will allow Domino’s Pizza to offer certain specials and pizza deals to the community that can keep their demand at a high rate. A market demand analysis is used to help understand how much consumer demand there is for a given product or service. This type of analysis will help determine if a business can successfully enter a market and generate enough revenue and profit to maintain the business. One must identify the market and the growth potential. Domino’s Pizza was incorporated in 1963 and has been franchising since 1967. A traditional Domino’s store is located in shopping centers and/or strip malls with appropriate parking for delivery vehicles and walk-in customers for carry-out services. The initial investment of a traditional store is approximately $119,500 (low estimation).To determine if a Domino’s Pizza can be opened in Morehead City, North Carolina one must estimate consumer demand for this area. Some of the variables...

...Regression Models Student Name Grantham University BA/520 – Quantitative Analysis Instructor Name April 6, 2013 Abstract This paper will refer to regression models and the benefits that variables provide when developing and examining such models. Also, it will discuss the reason why scatter diagrams are used and will describe the simple linear regression model and will refer to multiple regression analysis as well as the potential uses for this type of model. Regression Models Regression models are a statistical measure that attempts to determine the strength of the relationship between one dependent variable (usually denoted by Y) and a series of other changing variables (known as independent variables). Regression models provide the scientist with a powerful tool, allowing predictions about past, present, or future events to be made with information about past or present events. Inference based on such models is known as regression analysis. The main purpose of regression analysis is to predict the value of a dependent or response variable based on values of the independent or explanatory variables. According to Render, Stair, and Hanna (2011) they are two reasons for which regression analyses are used: one is to understand the relation between various variables and the second is to predict the variable's value based on the value of the other. Variables provide many advantages when creating models. One of the advantages...
