Regression modeling of consumption or exposure variables classified by type
Abstract:
Consumption or exposure variables, as potential risk factors, are commonly measured and related to health effects. The measurements may be continuous or discrete, may be grouped into categories and may, in addition, be classified by type. Data analyses utilizing regression methods for the assessment of these risk factors present many problems of modeling and interpretation. Various models are proposed and evaluated, and recommendations are made. Use of the models is illustrated with Cox regression analyses of coronary heart disease mortality after 24 years of follow-up of subjects in the Framingham Study, with the focus being on alcohol consumption among these subjects.

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...
