Introduction to Regression Analysis Alan O. Sykes* Regression analysis is a statistical tool for the investigation of relationships between variables. Usually, the investigator seeks to ascertain the causal effect of one variable upon another—the effect of a price increase upon demand, for example, or the effect of changes in the money supply upon the inflation rate. To explore such issues, the investigator assembles data on the underlying variables of interest and employs regression to estimate the

psychological empowerment. The data collected were analyzed through correlation and regression analyses. The study covered 1,854 participants employed at five-star hotels in Turkey.

Furthermore, correlation and regression analyses indicate that psychological and behavioral empowerment has a significant

car, cylinders number, engine displacements, MPG, whether the car is automatic transmission, and whether the car has 8 or 6 cylinders. First we will apply Bivariate Analysis to find out variables with significance, and then we will build a multiple linear regression model using these data. Overview of Data We get a summary from Stata about the observations. The 82 observations of car prices range from $8.395k to $68,603, and the 50% percentiles of price is $16,637. The mean price is $18154,77 and

for simple regression. We consider the data in multiple regressions on Wildcat activity. Wildcats are wells drilled to find and produce oil and gas in an improved area or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas or to extend the limit of a known oil or gas reservoir. For hetroscedasticity tests we consider for simple regression wholesale and consumer price index data and for multiple regressions we take same data which we above used for multiple regression
