The primary goal of regression analysis is to obtain predictions of one variable using the known values of another. These predictions are made by means of an equation such as Y = a + bX, which provides the estimate of an unknown variable Y when the value of another variable X is known. Such an expression is referred to as a regression equation. 3, record 1, English, - regression%20equation
