Regression analyses

In correlation coefficients discussed in the previous section, both variables are treated as equals.

In regression analyses, one variable is considered the independent variable. The other variable is considered the dependent variable. There are two techniques of regression analyses:

• Multiple linear regression
  • They are used to predict a dependent variable using multiple independent variables.
• Logistic regression
  • They are used to predict the probability of a binary outcome using multiple predictor variables.
