The term was popularized after Galton's 1886 article. Contribution of R. A. Fisher in the early 20th century was instrumental to the spread of the method to every scientific branch. Regression analysis, used in economics and many other fields, is now the most commonly used statistical method. Although few would characterize this technique as simple, regression is in fact both simple and elegant. The complexity that many attribute to regression analysis is often a reflection of their lack of familiarity with the language of mathematics. But regression analysis can be understood even without the mastery of sophisticated mathematical concepts. This book provides the foundation of regression analysis in a way that is easy to comprehend. All the examples are from economics and in almost all the examples real data are used to show the application of the method. 410 0$aEconomics collection.$x2163-7628 606 $aEconomics$xStatistical methods 606 $aRegression analysis 610 $aanalysis 610 $acausality 610 $aceteris paribus 610 $acoefficient of determination 610 $acontrol variables 610 $aerror 610 $agoodness of fit 610 $ainference 610 $amisspecification 610 $amodel 610 $aproxy variables 610 $aregression 610 $aspurious regression 610 $aStata 615 0$aEconomics$xStatistical methods. 615 0$aRegression analysis. 676 $a519.536 700 $aNaghshpour$b Shahdad.$0890738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798222603321 996 $aRegression for economics$93676506 997 $aUNINA
