Linear Regression. Linear regression attempts to model the relationship between two variables by fitting a linear equation to observed data. One variable is considered to be an explanatory variable, and the other is considered to be a dependent variable.
The regression line predicts the average y value associated with a given x value. Note that is also necessary to get a measure of the spread of the y values around that average. To do this, we use the root-mean-square error (r.m.s. error). To construct the r.m.s. error, you first need to determine the residuals. Residuals are the difference between the actual values and the predicted values. I denoted them by , where is the observed value for the ith observation and is the predicted value.
