This document presents an overview of regression analysis. Regression analysis measures the average relationship between two or more variables and attempts to establish their functional relationship to allow for prediction and forecasting. It provides estimates of dependent variables from independent variables and can be extended to multiple regression. Regression can be studied graphically, algebraically, or via deviation methods. Algebraic methods include least squares regression to calculate regression equations. Deviation methods calculate regression coefficients using deviations from actual or assumed means.
