  • examine the influence of multiple X variables (regressors) on Y (dependent variable)
  • examine the influence of a key X variable (regressor) on Y (independent variable)
  • examine the influence of multiple X variables (regressors) on Y (independent variable)

Answer
  • three or more potentially useful predictors (variables)
  • all predictors (variables)
  • two or more potentially useful predictors (variables)

Answer
  • A statistical method that describes the variability of observed variables, and correlates them to unobserved factors; usually in terms of a lower and higher score.
  • A statistical process by which all variables are forced into a regression model (all analysed at the same time) regardless of their statistical significance
