I was just wondering why regression problems are called "regression" problems. What is the story behind the name? One definition for regression: "Relapse to a less perfect or developed state."

There ain’t no difference between multiple regression and multivariate regression in that, they both constitute a system with 2 or more independent variables and 1 or more dependent variables.

Dec 4, 2014 · When we say, to regress Y Y against X X, do we mean that X X is the independent variable and Y the dependent variable? i.e. Y = aX + b Y = a X + b.

Mar 21, 2014 · In linear regression, we often get multiple R and R squared. What are the differences between them?

Dec 23, 2016 · A good residual vs fitted plot has three characteristics: The residuals "bounce randomly" around the 0 line. This suggests that the assumption that the relationship is linear is reasonable. The …

Jan 11, 2016 · I need to find a model which best fits my data. It looks like this: So I thought about logarithmic regression. But when I try to make a simple fit in python I get the following result: My …

Also, for OLS regression, R^2 is the squared correlation between the predicted and the observed values. Hence, it must be non-negative. For simple OLS regression with one predictor, this is equivalent to …

What statistical tests or rules of thumb can be used as a basis for excluding outliers in linear regression analysis? Are there any special considerations for multilinear regression?

I was wondering what difference and relation are between forecast and prediction? Especially in time series and regression? For example, am I correct that: In time series, forecasting seems to mea...
