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.
Simple linear regression is similar to correlation in that the purpose is to measure to what extent there is a linear relationship between two variables. The major difference between the two is that correlation makes no distinction between independent and dependent variables while linear regression does. In particular, the purpose of linear regression is to predict the value of the dependent variable based upon the values of one or more independent variables.
