Limitations: Regression analysis is a commonly used tool for companies to make predictions based on certain variables. Even though it is very common there are still limitations that arise when producing the regression‚ which can skew the results. The Number of Variables: The first limitation that we noticed in our regression model is the number of variables that we used. The more companies that you have to compare the greater the chance your model will be significant. We have found that

There are two general types of differential equations. An ordinary differential equation involves only two variables‚ whereas a partial differential equation involves more than two. A differential equation can have many variables. The independent variable is the variable of concern from which the terms are derived
