Identity theft occurs when someone fraudulently obtains or uses your personal information, such as your name, social security number, or credit card number. The Department of Revenue is committed to preventing refund fraud.
Linear regression is the most basic and commonly used predictive analysis. Regression estimates are used to describe data and to explain the relationship between one dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
Linear regression uses the general linear equation $Y=b_0+â(b_i X_i)+\epsilon$ where $Y$ is a continuous dependent variable and independent variables $X_i$ are usually continuous (but can also be binary, e.g. when the linear model is used in a t-test) or other discrete domains.
