About this listen

Regression analysis is a statistical method used to determine the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables, helping businesses understand which factors have the most impact. The process involves gathering data, plotting it on a chart to establish a regression line, and using a formula to quantify the relationship while accounting for a margin of error. Companies utilise regression analysis to explain phenomena, predict future outcomes, and inform decision-making. However, it's crucial to remember that correlation does not equal causation, necessitating real-world observation to validate the analysis. Common mistakes include unfocused analysis, ignoring the error term, and allowing data to override intuition.
