called regression analysis. Sir Francis Galton introduced the concept of regression for the first time in 1877 where he studied the case of one thousand fathers and sons and concluded that the tall father tends to have tall sons and short fathers have short sons, but the average height of the sons of a group of tall fathers is less than that of the fathers and the average height of the sons of a group of short fathers is greater than that of the fathers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ACCORDING TO MORRIS M.

Linear regression, when plotted on graph paper, forms a straight line. Mathematically the relation between X and Y variables a be expressed by a simple linear regression equation as under<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>y<sub>i<\/sub>= a+bx<sub>i<\/sub>+e<sub>i<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where a and b are known as regression parameters, e<sub>i<\/sub> denotes residual terms, x<sub>i<\/sub> presents value of independent variable and y<sub>i<\/sub> is the value of dependent variable. &#8216;a&#8217; expresses intercept of the regression line of y on x. i.e. value of dependent variable say y, when the value of independent variable, that is &#8216;x&#8217; is zero. Again &#8216;b&#8217; denotes the slope of regression line of y on x. Again, e<sub>i<\/sub> denotes the combined effect of all other variables, (not taken in the model) on y. This equation is known as classical simple linear regression model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NON-LINEAR_REGRESSION_ANALYSIS\"><\/span>NON-LINEAR REGRESSION ANALYSIS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to the linear regression model, in non-linear regression, the value of dependent on variable say &#8216;y&#8217; does not change by a constant absolute amount for unit change in the value of the independent variable, say &#8216;x&#8217;. If the data are plotted on a graph, it would form a curve rather than a straight line. This is also called curvi-linear regression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ON THE BASIS OF NUMBER OF VARIABLES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the basis of number of variables regression analysis can be classified as under:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.

It is helpful in making quantitative predictions in business in the behaviour of the related variables. Following are some of the main uses of regression analysis in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Prediction of Unknown Value: <\/strong>The regression analysis technique is very useful in predicting the probable value of an unknown variable in response to some known related variable. For example, the estimate of demand on a given price can be made if the demand and given price are functionally related to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Nature of Relationship: <\/strong>The regression device is useful in establishing the nature of the relationship between two variables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Estimation of Relationship:<\/strong> Regression analysis is extensively used for the measurement and estimation of the relationship among variables. It is an important statistical device which provides basis for analysis and interpretation in research studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Calculation of Co-efficient of determination: <\/strong>The regression analysis provides regression co-efficients which are generally used in calculation of Co-efficient of Correlation. The square of co-efficient of correlation (r) is called the coefficient of determination which measures the degree of association that exists between two variables. The higher the value of <em>r<sup>2 <\/sup><\/em>the better are regression lines and more useful are the regression equations for prediction and estimation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Helpful in calculation of error: <\/strong>Regression analysis is very helpful in estimating the error involved in using the regression line as a basis for estimation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Policy formulation: <\/strong>The predictions made on the basis of estimated inter-relationship through the techniques of regression analysis provide sound basis for policy formulation in socio- economic fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Touch stone of hypothesis:<\/strong> The regression tool is considered to be a pertinent testing tool in statistical methodology. It is used in testing the laws and theories of the social sciences as well as natural sciences where the interrelationship between the variables is involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LIMITATIONS_OF_REGRESSION_ANALYSIS\"><\/span>LIMITATIONS OF REGRESSION ANALYSIS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite all utilities, the regression analysis, too, has various limitations. The following are some of the limitations of regression analysis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Assumption of linear relationship: <\/strong>Regression analysis is based on the assumption that there always exists linear relationship between related variables. The linear type of relationship does not always exist in the field of social sciences. In these fields non-linear or curvilinear relationships are most commonly found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Assumption of static condition: <\/strong>While calculating the regression equations a static condition of relationship between the variables is presumed. It is supposed that the relationship has not changed since the regression equation was computed. Such type of assumption has made the regression analysis a static one and hence reduces its applicability in social fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Study of relationship in prescribed limits:<\/strong> The linear relationship between the variables can only be ascertained within limits. When prescribed limits are crossed, the results become incorrect or inconsistent Such a relation exists between price and profits. When price is higher the profits are high to a certain limit. When the prices are abnormally high the profits may decline due to entry of new firms increasing thereby the supply of the commodity. Despite all shortcomings and limitations the regression technique is considered to be a most useful statistical device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kajal-mahajan-7549b2197\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CONNECT ON LINKEDIN<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Also Study:<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Also Study:<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Also Study:<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Also Study:<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Also Study:<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/measures-of-central-tendency\/\">Measures of central tendency<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/arithmetic-mean\/\">Arithmetic Mean<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/median\/\">Median<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/mode\/\">Mode<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/statistics\/\">Statistics<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/functions-of-statistics\/\">Functions of statistics<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/scope-of-statistics\/\">Scope of statistics<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/limitations-of-statistics\/\">Limitations of Statistics<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/distrust-of-statistics\/\">Distrust of statistics<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/business-statistics-notes-bcom-1st-year\/\">INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/measures-of-central-tendency-bcom-1st-year-notes-for-free\/\">MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY BCOM NOTES<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/measures-of-dispersion-in-statistics\/\">MEASURES OF DISPERSION<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/commerceiets.com\/correlation-notes-pdf\/\">Correlation Notes<\/a><\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption>regression analysis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>REGRESSION ANALYSIS: MEANING The statistical technique of estimating or predicting the unknown value of a dependent variable from the known value of an independent variable is called regression analysis.
