Testing Research Hypothesis Using Multiliner Regression - Softcover

Multiple regression is becoming more wide­ly used as the statistical technique for answering research hypotheses. This is so for several reasons: 1) the technique is extreme­ly versatile; 2) the computer has made the technique more available to researchers; and 3) texts such as the authors’ earlier work are making the technique more available to re­searchers. The statistical technique of mul­tiple regression allows the inclusion of numerous continuous (quantitative) and categorical (qualitative) variables in the prediction of some criterion.

Appendixes contain a multiple regression computer program and data on which the problems are based; a discussion of the simi­larities and differences between analysis of variance and multiple regression; and a computer program providing the regression solution to natural language research hy­potheses.
