Multiple regression‚ a time-honored technique going back to Pearson’s 1908 use of it‚ is employed to account for (predict) the variance in an interval dependent‚ based on linear combinations of interval‚ dichotomous‚ or dummy independent variables. Multiple regression can establish that a set of independent variables explains a proportion of the variance in a dependent variable at a significant level (through a significance test of R2)‚ and can establish the relative predictive importance

STA9708 Regression Analysis: Literacy rates and Poverty rates As we are aware‚ poverty rate serve as an indicator for a number of causes in the world. Poverty rates are linked with infant mortality‚ education‚ child labor and crime etc. In this project‚ I will apply the regression analysis learned in the Statistics course to study the relationship between literacy rates and poverty rates among different states in USA. In my study‚ the poverty rates will be the independent variable (x) and literacy

each of the variables specified in the model from the years 2003 to 2005. The question that I will be answering in my regression analysis is whether or not wins have an affect on attendance in Major League Baseball (MLB). I want to know whether or not wins and other variables associated with attendance have a positive impact on a team ’s record. The y variable in my analysis is going to be attendance for each baseball team. I collected the data for each team ’s average attendance for 2003-2005

Affirmative Action destroys the idea of meritocracy and students should be chosen based on their intelligence instead of their race or gender. “At the University of Wisconsin‚ the median composite SAT score for blacks who were admitted was 150 points lower than for whites and Asians and the Latino median SAT score was 100 points lower”. This quote shows how Affirmative Action destroys the idea of meritocracy and applicants are mainly chosen on someone’s race not intelligence. (http://brandongaille
