What are some of the advantages of Multiple Regression? How is regression with a single variable the same and different from a correlation?
In psychology, multiple regression is an analysis technique that is used in the domain of research. It is used to study the effect of independent variables (predictors) on the dependent variables. There can be several predictors.
In a single variable regression there is the effect of one on the other that is studied. The commonality that this shares with correlation is the use of two variables to understand the phenomenon, but the difference is that correlation does not insinuate causality, which regression aims to uncover.
Regression aims to probe the relationship that the two variables share and the interdependence if any.
Whereas, correlation is the extent to which two variables relate with each other.
