Sommario/riassunto

This book covers essential elements of building and understanding regression models in a business/economic context in an intuitive manner. The technique of regression analysis is used so often in business and economics today that an understanding of its use is necessary for almost everyone engaged in the field. It is especially useful for those engaged in working with numbers - preparing forecasts, budgeting, estimating the effects of business decisions, and any of the forms of analytics that have recently become so useful.
