8. When would you use regression rather than correlation?
What will be an ideal response?
Regression analysis has a number of advantages over correlation. Firstly, it allows us to develop more accurate models by allowing us to include a number of different predictors of an outcome we are interested in. As the relationship of each individual predictor to the dependent variable is controlled for the relationship with any other variables in the model, regression also gives a more accurate picture of the strength of those relationships. Regression analysis also provides us with a number of useful diagnostics to
test the validity of our models.
