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.
