Interpreting Regression Output - Without all the Statistics Theory
Regression analysis is one of multiple data analysis techniques used in business and social sciences. The regression analysis technique is built on a number of statistical concepts including sampling, probability, correlation, distributions, central limit theorem, confidence intervals, z-scores, t-scores, hypothesis testing and more. You may not have studied these concepts. And if you did study these concepts, you may not remember all the statistical concepts underlying regression analysis. ‘Interpreting Regression Output Without all the Statistics Theory’ is for you if you need to read and interpret regression analysis data without knowing all the underlying statistical concepts.
This book is primarily written for graduate or undergraduate business or humanities students interested in understanding and interpreting regression analysis output tables. This book is also helpful for executives and professionals interested in interpreting and using regression analysis. It is a wonderful resource for students or professionals looking for a quick refresher before exams or interviewing for jobs in the data analysis industry.
