Abstract

In almost every possible sphere of human endeavor in the modern world, lack of certainty leads statistical technology to play an indispensable role. The inferential aspects of statistical techniques have made them essential to the toolkit of anyone engaged in scientific inquiry, including such fields as medicine, astronomy, business, psychology, education, industry, engineering, economics, sociology, and other branches of applied sciences. Scientific inquiry and investigation leads to the collection of data. Such data require statistical analysis to extract their meaning. One type of data occurs when values of several variables are measured for each of several units. Often such data are collected for the purpose of seeing how one of the variables depends on the others. Regression analysis is a commonly used statistical technique for dealing with such data.
