 INTRODUCTION OF REGRESSION ANALYSIS.

• Definition of regression analysis:

Regression analysis is a set of statistical methods used for the estimation of relationships
between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It can be utilized to
assess the strength of the relationship between variables and for modelling the future
relationship between them.
• History of regression analysis:
TYPES OF REGRESSION ANALYSIS:

• There are three major types of regression analysis .

• 1. Linear analysis
• 2. Multiple analysis
• 3. Non linear analysis.
 DEFINITION OF ITS TYPES :

• Linear regression analysis- linear regression is a linear approach to modelling the

relationship between a scalar response and one or more explanatory variables. The
case of one explanatory variable is called simple linear regression.
• Multiple regression analysis- Multiple regression generally explains the relationship
between multiple independent or predictor variables and one dependent or criterion variable.  A
dependent variable is modelled as a function of several independent variables with
corresponding coefficients, along with the constant term.  Multiple regression requires two or
more predictor variables, and this is why it is called multiple regression.
DEFINITION OF ITS TYPES :

• Non linear regression analysis - Nonlinear regression is a form of regression

analysis in which observational data are modelled by a function which is
a nonlinear combination of the model parameters and depends on one or more
independent variables. 
IMPORTANT FACTORS USED IN REGRESSION
ANALYSIS.
ADVANTAGES OF REGRESSION ANALYSIS

• It’s a powerful tool for making future predictions in business deals.

• Regression analysis is a reliable method of identifying which variables have
impact on a topic of interest. The process of performing a regression allows you
to confidently determine which factors matter most, which factors can be
ignored, and how these factors influence each other.
AN EXAMPLE: Years Advertisement Profit
(X variable) (Y variable)

1 100 Rs. 200®

• A company advertises its products and 2 300 Rs. 800®
gets profit according to the sale and the 3 500 Rs. ?
company wants to predict how much 4 ? 1500®
should be spent on advertisement if they
want particular amount of sale: Observation Observation
In condition 1 In condition 2
Y depends on X or Y on X X depends on Y or X on Y

So now how we will calculate profit on condition first and advertisement investing in
condition second for taking out the future predictions?
Here we use the regression analysis.
BASIC FORMULA FOR FINDING REGRESSION
ANALYSIS.
• When Y depends on X
• Y on X so here the coefficient of regression
analysis is byx
• Now regression equation is
• ( Y`-Y)= byx ( X‘-X) : we can see in the
equation we have to compute three terms first
which are given below.
byx, x’ and Y’ and in condition of Y on X we
finally calculate the value of v variable
• When X depends on Y
• X on Y so here the coefficient of regression
analysis is bxy.
• Now regression equation is
• ( X’-X ) = bxy ( Y’-Y)
• Here also same three important term calculated
first bxy, Y’ and X’ and in the condition of X
on Y We finally calculate the value of X
variable .
HOW CAN WE COMPUTE THE THREE IMPORTANT
TERMS OF REGRESSION ANALYSIS OR EQUATION

WHEN Y ON X WHEN X ON Y
• X‘ and Y’ is nothing but mean of the • Similar as condition of X on Y
series of X variable and Y variable
• Now we must understand how to
calculate the coefficient of regression
equation means byx
FORMULA TO FIND THE COEFFICIENT OF REGRESSION
ANALYSIS AND EQUATION IN SPECIAL CASES.

• The questions of the regression analysis and equation can be given in many ways,
• So how will we calculate and solve them? Let’s understand with a formula chart.
