Scope note: Procedimientos para encontrar la función matemática que mejor describa la relación entre una variable dependiente y una o más variables independientes. En la regresión lineal (véase MODELOS LINEALES) la relación se reduce a ser una línea recta y se utiliza en el ANÁLISIS DE LOS MÍNIMOS CUADRADOS para determinar el mejor ajuste. En la regresión logística (véase MODELOS LOGÍSTICOS) la variable dependiente es cualitativa en lugar de continua y se utilizan las FUNCIONES DE VEROSIMILITUD para encontrar la mejor relación. En la regresión múltiple se considera que la variable dependiente depende de más de una sola variable independiente.

Scope note: Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
