  2. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    The earliest regression form was seen in Isaac Newton's work in 1700 while studying equinoxes, being credited with introducing "an embryonic linear aggression analysis" as "Not only did he perform the averaging of a set of data, 50 years before Tobias Mayer, but summing the residuals to zero he forced the regression line to pass through the ...

  3. Linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_regression

    Linear regression was the first type of regression analysis to be studied rigorously, and to be used extensively in practical applications. [4] This is because models which depend linearly on their unknown parameters are easier to fit than models which are non-linearly related to their parameters and because the statistical properties of the ...

  4. Outline of regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_regression_analysis

    The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to regression analysis: Regression analysis – use of statistical techniques for learning about the relationship between one or more dependent variables ( Y ) and one or more independent variables ( X ).

  5. Ordinary least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_least_squares

    In statistics, ordinary least squares (OLS) is a type of linear least squares method for choosing the unknown parameters in a linear regression model (with fixed level-one [clarification needed] effects of a linear function of a set of explanatory variables) by the principle of least squares: minimizing the sum of the squares of the differences between the observed dependent variable (values ...

  6. Logistic regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_regression

    The logistic regression model itself simply models probability of output in terms of input and does not perform statistical classification (it is not a classifier), though it can be used to make a classifier, for instance by choosing a cutoff value and classifying inputs with probability greater than the cutoff as one class, below the cutoff as ...

  7. Design matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_matrix

    A regression model may be represented via matrix multiplication as y = X β + e , {\displaystyle y=X\beta +e,} where X is the design matrix, β {\displaystyle \beta } is a vector of the model's coefficients (one for each variable), e {\displaystyle e} is a vector of random errors with mean zero, and y is the vector of predicted outputs for each ...

  8. Principal component regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_component_regression

    In statistics, principal component regression (PCR) is a regression analysis technique that is based on principal component analysis (PCA). PCR is a form of reduced rank regression . [ 1 ] More specifically, PCR is used for estimating the unknown regression coefficients in a standard linear regression model .

  9. Controlling for a variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlling_for_a_variable

    The simplest examples of control variables in regression analysis comes from Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimators. The OLS framework assumes the following: Linear relationship - OLS statistical models are linear. Hence the relationship between explanatory variables and the mean of Y must be linear.
