Full Answer
one independent variableSimple linear regression is a regression model that estimates the relationship between one independent variable and one dependent variable using a straight line. Both variables should be quantitative.
The number of independent variables in the equation should be limited by two factors. First, the independent variables should be included in the equation only if they are based on the researcher's theory about what factors influence the dependent variable.
Multiple regression is a statistical technique that can be used to analyze the relationship between a single dependent variable and several independent variables. The objective of multiple regression analysis is to use the independent variables whose values are known to predict the value of the single dependent value.
When fitting a linear regression model, the number of observations should be at least 15 times larger than the number of predictors in the model. For a logistic regression, the count of the smallest group in the outcome variable should be at least 15 times the number of predictors.
There are often not more than one or two independent variables tested in an experiment, otherwise it is difficult to determine the influence of each upon the final results. There may be several dependent variables, because manipulating the independent variable can influence many different things.
Simple linear regression has only one x and one y variable. Multiple linear regression has one y and two or more x variables. For instance, when we predict rent based on square feet alone that is simple linear regression.
Multiple regression has the same goal as linear regression (determining the "line of best fit"), but uses two or more independent variables rather than one independent variable (which is what is used in linear regression).
Simple Linear Regression. Simple linear regression is a technique that is appropriate to understand the association between one independent (or predictor) variable and one continuous dependent (or outcome) variable.
Yes, this is possible and I have heard it termed as joint regression or multivariate regression. In essence you would have 2 (or more) dependent variables, and examine the relationships between independent variables and the dependent variables, plus the relationship between the 2 dependent variables.
There must be two or more independent variables, or predictors, for a logistic regression. The IVs, or predictors, can be continuous (interval/ratio) or categorical (ordinal/nominal).
2.2 Simple linear regression vs. Simple linear regression just takes a single feature, while multiple linear regression takes multiple x values.
When there are more than one independent variables in the model, then the linear model is termed as the multiple linear regression model.
