Premium Regression analysis Forecasting Linear regression
This article considers the relationship between two variables in two ways: (1) by using regression analysis and (2) by computing the correlation coefficient. By using the regression model‚ we can evaluate the magnitude of change in one variable due to a certain change in another variable. For example‚ an economist can estimate the amount of change in food expenditure due to a certain change in the income of a household by using the regression model. A sociologist may want to estimate the increase

Thus as income share increases the percentage of children receiving education increases. Children who are from poor families do not have the same advantages as rich families. However‚ Bruce Sacerdote has conflicting data
