Simple Linear Regression Equation

A mathematical model representing a linear relationship between a dependent variable (y) and a single independent variable (x).

Slope in Simple Linear Regression (m)

The change in the dependent variable (y) for every one-unit change in the independent variable (x).

Multiple Regression

A statistical method that examines the relationship between a dependent variable and multiple independent variables.

Coefficients in Multiple Regression

In multiple regression, each coefficient represents the impact of a specific independent variable on the dependent variable, assuming all other independent variables remain constant.

Study Notes

Regression Analysis

  • The equation for simple linear regression is Y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the intercept.
  • A multiple regression model is a statistical model that predicts the value of a continuous outcome variable based on multiple predictor variables.
  • The coefficient 'm' in simple linear regression represents the change in the outcome variable for a one-unit change in the predictor variable, while holding all other variables constant.
  • In multiple regression, the coefficients represent the change in the outcome variable for a one-unit change in the corresponding predictor variable, while holding all other variables constant.
  • The goal of regression analysis is to establish a relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables, and to predict the value of the dependent variable based on the independent variables.

Geography

  • Nepal is known as the 'land of mountains'.
