    Regression Analysis: Fuel Consumption and Temperature

    A very broad consensus has emerged around the proposition that global warming is a reality, with likely serious global consequences. Moreover, while there is still not unanimity that global warming is entirely man-made, there is broad agreement that it is desirable to cut emissions from coal and petroleum. Finally, many energy

    Regression and Correlation: Discuss relationships in four situations

    Regression and Correlation are the most used and most abused tools in research. People are quick to jump to conclusions that if a relationship exists between two variables, then one must cause the other. There are many reasons why two variables can be related without causality. For example, there is a strong inverse relations
