Abstract
The general objective of a regression analysis is to investigate the relationship between two (or more) variables so that we can gain information about one of them through knowing values of the other(s). Much of mathematics is devoted to studying variables that are deterministically related, meaning that once we are told the value of x, the value of y is completely specified.
