Abstract:
Regression models are widely used. They are viewed by clinicians as a passport for a publication in major journals. The expressions: multivariate, logistic regression and Cox model are synonymous with complexity and appear both magical and seductive. Altogether, most clinicians do not read the results of regression models with a critical eye. Our aim is to describe the most common regression models in a unifying framework, and to explain how to interpret each model. We hope that investigators will then be able to discuss the models with the statisticians.

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:
Variation
When independent and dependent variables are plotted on a scatter plot, the slope of a line is a value that describes the rate of change between the two...
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...
