In this method, each value in the data set is
compared with it§ previous value and only the signs
What is simple regression?
In simple regression, analysis is restricted to two
variables only, of which one is independent and the
other is dependent. For example, the demand for a
product is predicted for the next year on the basis of its
price only without considering the anticipated changes
in the income of consumers, changes in the price of
substitute/complimentary products, advertisement
effect ete.
Why the line of regression analysis are called” line
of best fit.
‘The regression line is sometimes called the “line of,
best fit” because it is the line that fits best when drawn,
through the points. It is a line that minimizes the
distance of the actual scores from the pre
ted score
What do you mean by Quantity Index Number?
A quantity index number measures thé change in
quantity/volume of the goods produced, sold or
consumed. ‘The methods used for constructing quantity
index number are similar to that of construeting price
index. The only difference is that all the *p" s and *q”

interchanged together
