Multiple regression and correlation analysis provides a means for examining the relationship between of two (2) or more independent variables and the dependent variable. In practical applications, it is likely that you will want to consider two (2) or more independent variables when addressing a problem, making multivariate anal
Suppose the regression equation that has been used to estimate the value of existing homes is as follows; Value = 10,000 + 50X1 + 5X2 + 10,000X3 Where; X1 is square feet of livable area X2 is the size of the lot measured in square feet X3 is an indicator variable for the presence of a pool (1 if yes, 0 if no)
