Abstract:
Electrooculogram (EOG) correction is used to remove eye-movement-related contamination from electroencephalograms (EEG). Correction is reliant on the regression procedure, although when multiple EOG channels are used in the correction, the appropriate type of regression to use is not known. In the present study, we aimed to resolve this matter. Computer simulations were used to compare the simultaneous, multiple-stage, and single-channel regression methods of correction. EOG propagation was modeled on prior findings, under conditions of varying vertical and horizontal EOG (VEOG/HEOG) correlation. The dependent variable was the correlation between the uncontaminated and the corrected EEG. The simultaneous regression procedure gave the best correction, with its advantage increasing as a function of VEOG/HEOG correlation. It is recommended that the simultaneous regression procedure be used for EOG correction of the EEG.

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
