Scene 1 (0s)

Regression Analysis.

Scene 2 (5s)

[Audio] Often professionals want to know if there is a relationship between two or more variables for instance is there a relationship between the grade on the 3rd print exam a student takes and the grade on the final exam if yes then how is it related and how strongly regression can be used here to arrive at a conclusion this is an example of bivariate data that is two variables however statisticians are mostly interested in multivariate data the regression analysis is used to predict the value of one variable the dependent variable on the basis of other variables the independent variables in the simplest form of regression linear regression you work with one independent variable the formula for simple linear regression is shown on the screen in the next screen we'll look at a few examples of regression analysis.

Scene 3 (1m 23s)

[Audio] Regression analysis is used in several situations such as those described on the screen in example 1 using the data given on the screen you have to analyze the relation between the size of a house and its selling price for a realtor In example 2 you need to predict the exam scores of students who study for 7.2 hours with the help of the data shown on the slide.

Scene 4 (1m 59s)

[Audio] A couple more examples are given on the screen in example 3 based on the expected number of customers and the previous day's data given you need to predict the number of burgers that will be sold by KFC outlet in example 4 you have to calculate the life expectancy for a group of people with the average length of schooling based on the data given.

Scene 5 (2m 33s)

[Audio] Now let's look at the two main types of regression analysis simple linear regression and multiple linear regression both of these statistical methods use a linear equation to model the relationship between two or more variables simple linear regression considers one quantitative and independent variable X to predict the other quantitative but dependent variable y multiple linear regression considers more than one quantitative and qualitative a variable to predict a quantitative and dependent variable Y we'll look at the two types of analyses in more detail in the slides that follow.

Scene 6 (3m 30s)

[Audio] In simple linear regression the predictions of the explained variable Y when plotted as a function of the explanatory variable X from a straight line the best fitting line is called the regression line the output of this model is a function to predict the dependent variable on the basis of the values of the independent variable the dependent variable is continuous and the independent variable can be continuous or discrete.
