A fundamental basis of regression analysis is the assumption of a. the lack of a relationship between independent variables. b.
a curvilinear relationship between two weakly associated dependent variables. c. a uniform normal distribution between dependent variables. d. a straight-line relationship between the independent and dependent variables. e. the existence of two independent variables for every dependent variable.
The correct answer is E. A fundamental basis of regression analysis is the assumption of the existence of two independent variables for every dependent variable.
Regression analysis is a statistical method that examines the dependence of a response variable on selected explanatory variables.
When studying the dependence between quantities and trying to describe a given functional dependence on a given formula, it is assumed that the dependence consists of a precisely determinable component and a random component. The relationship with this assumption is called the regression model.
