To Conduct A Regression Analysis, Select The Following From The Analyze Menu

Regression is a statistical technique used to investigate the relationship between predictor and outcome variables. It allows one to predict the value of a dependent variable from independent variables. For example, a regression could use variables like education level, experience, starting salary, and time with a company to predict employees' current salaries. The regression equation is created by selecting variables from a dataset and assigning them as dependent or independent in the analysis.

REGRESSION

Regression is a technique that can be used to investigate the effect of one or more predictor
variables on an outcome variable. Regression allows you to make statements about how well one or
more independent variables will predict the value of a dependent variable. For example, if you were
interested in investigating which variables in the employee database were good predictors of
employees' current salaries, you could create a regression equation that would use several of the
variables in the dataset to predict employees' salaries.

To conduct a regression analysis, select the following from the Analyze menu:

Analyze
Regression
Linear

This dialog box illustrates an example regression equation. As with other analyses, you select
variables from the box on the left by clicking on them, then moving them to the boxes on the right by
clicking the arrow next to the box where you want to enter a particular variable. Here, employees'
current salary has been entered as the dependent variable. In the Independent(s) box, four predictor
variables have been entered: educational level, previous experience, beginning salary, and months
since hire.
NOTE: Before you run a regression model, you should consider the method that you use for
selecting or rejecting variables in that model. The box labeled Method allows you to select from one
of five methods: Enter, Remove, Forward, Backward, and Stepwise.
