regression analysis

A method consisting of selecting a mathematical model (linear or logistic regression, for example) that explains the data to describe or predict the effect of one or more independent variables X on a dependent variable Y.

Note: The terms are used as follows: linear regression when the variable Y is continuous, logistic regression when Y is a dichotomous variable, simple regression when there is a single variable X, and multiple regression when there are several variables X.
