The frequent use of linear regression in research causes problems for students who have not studied it before. Research based on the technique can be incomprehensible to beginners.This book provides a background to the technique. It is not intended to be a substitute for a course or textbook in statistics, but rather a stop-gap for students who encounter empirical work before undertaking a statistics course. It provides a heuristic explanation of the procedures and terms used in regression analysis and has been written at the most elementary level. It assumes a minimal background in mathematics and focuses on the intuitive and verbal interpretation of regression coefficients and the associated statistics and hypothesis tests.
