Multiple Linear Regression

PERFORMING MULTIPLE REGRESSION ON SPSS

MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION: INTRODUCTION

Regression Analysis is the

estimation of the linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables or covariates.

MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION:

INTRODUCTION
Market researchers puts forward Structural Equation Model (SEM) while determining the causal relationship of variables.
There are two types of analyses including

factor analysis Multiple regression analysis

 The

causal relationship is modified by two types of variables.

Y
Dependent Endogenous variable Explained variable Response variable Predicted variable

x1, x2,x3 xk
Independent Exogenous variable Explanatory variable Control variable Predictor variable

EXAMPLE:
Assume

that the job satisfaction is the function of wage, occupation and time flexibility: Y (job satisfaction) = x(Wage)+x(Occupation)+ x(time flexibility) + e(others) Y = 0 + 1 X1+ 2 X2+ 3X3++
