A. Multiple regression analysis package.
Run regressions online. Easy to learn. Easy to use.
a. Linear multiple regression.
1. Example: Predicting Canadian Elections using the equation:
C = ß0 + ß1 * E + ß2 * OQ + ß3 * P + ß4 * BC
where
C = Percent of seats of Canada taken by the winning party
E = Percent of seats of Eastern Canada taken by the winning party
OQ = Percent of seats of Ontario and Quebec taken by the winning party
P = Percent of seats of Prairie Provinces taken by the winning party
BC = Percent of seats of B.C. taken by the winning party
Regression equation using the data for 1949-2004: Predicting Canadian Elections. These 18 elections yield the equation:
C = -17.321 + 0.13 * E + 0.857 * OQ + 0.117 * P + 0.113 * BC
(Each regression coefficient is statistically significant)
