Understanding Least Square Regression
Least square regression is a statistical method used worldwide to find the best-fitting line through a set of data points. This technique minimizes the sum of the squares of the differences between observed and predicted values.
- Used in economics for forecasting trends
- Applied in healthcare for medical research analysis
- Essential in engineering for predictive modeling
- Utilized in social sciences for relationship analysis
Global Applications of Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is a universal statistical tool with applications across industries and countries:
| Country/Region | Primary Application | Standards Followed |
|---|---|---|
| United States | Economic forecasting, healthcare research | APA, ASA, FDA guidelines |
| European Union | Environmental studies, social policy analysis | ISO standards, GDPR-compliant analysis |
| Asia-Pacific | Market research, technological development | ISO, regional statistical standards |
| International | Climate research, global health studies | WHO guidelines, UN statistical standards |
Key Statistical Concepts
Understanding these statistical measures will help you interpret your regression results more effectively:
| Term | Definition | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Slope (m) | The rate of change in Y for a unit change in X | Indicates the direction and strength of relationship |
| Intercept (b) | The predicted Y value when X equals zero | Starting point of the regression line |
| R-squared | Proportion of variance explained by the model | Higher values indicate better fit (0 to 1) |
| Correlation Coefficient | Measure of linear relationship strength | Ranges from -1 (perfect negative) to +1 (perfect positive) |
