What is regression analysis and how it helps predict future outcomes?In hypothesis testing, we learned how to scientifically validate or refute a belief or a claim. In the next three lessons, we will shift gears to prediction. Regression analysis is a widely used statistical method that (1) helps us make predictions about a variable of interest based on known values of other variables, and (2) provides an objective measure of the change in the...

ConceptsConcepts1. If a researcher finds that the data points in a factor analysis are surrounded by a 3-dimensional ellipsoidal space that is elongated along the x and y axes but concentrated within the z axes, what does this imply about the contribution of the variable mapped to the x, y, and z dimensions? 2. How do factor analysis and cluster analysis differ in the way they aggregate data?3. What are the advantages and drawbacks associated...
