Regression :The average Linear or Non linear relationship between Variables.
in general regression model the dependent variable is continuous and independent variable is discrete type. in genral regression model the variables are linearly related. in logistic regression model the response varaible must be categorical type. the relation ship between the response and explonatory variables is non-linear.
It measures associations between variables.
The equation of the regression line is calculated so as to minimise the sum of the squares of the vertical distances between the observations and the line. The regression line represents the relationship between the variables if (and only if) that relationship is linear. The equation of this line ensures that the overall discrepancy between the actual observations and the predictions from the regression are minimised and, in that respect, the line is the best that can be fitted to the data set. Other criteria for measuring the overall discrepancy will result in different lines of best fit.
Yes they can.
Before undertaking regression analysis, one must decide on which variables will be analysed. Regression analysis is predicting a variable from a number of other variables.
Simple regression is used when there is one independent variable. With more independent variables, multiple regression is required.
Regression :The average Linear or Non linear relationship between Variables.
Explanatory (or independent) variables are variables such that changes in their value are thought to cause changes in the "dependent" variables.
in general regression model the dependent variable is continuous and independent variable is discrete type. in genral regression model the variables are linearly related. in logistic regression model the response varaible must be categorical type. the relation ship between the response and explonatory variables is non-linear.
It measures associations between variables.
There are two regression lines if there are two variables - one line for the regression of the first variable on the second and another line for the regression of the second variable on the first. If there are n variables you can have n*(n-1) regression lines. With the least squares method, the first of two line focuses on the vertical distance between the points and the regression line whereas the second focuses on the horizontal distances.
In statistics, regression analysis is a statistical process for estimating the relationships among variables. It includes many techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables, when the focus is on the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.

difference between correlation and regression?(1) The correlation answers the STRENGTH of linear association between paired variables, say X and Y. On the other hand, the regression tells us the FORM of linear association that best predicts Y from the values of X.(2a) Correlation is calculated whenever:* both X and Y is measured in each subject and quantify how much they are linearly associated.* in particular the Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient is used when the assumption of both X and Y are sampled from normally-distributed populations are satisfied* or the Spearman's moment order correlation coefficient is used if the assumption of normality is not satisfied.* correlation is not used when the variables are manipulated, for example, in experiments.(2b) Linear regression is used whenever:* at least one of the independent variables (Xi's) is to predict the dependent variable Y. Note: Some of the Xi's are dummy variables, i.e. Xi = 0 or 1, which are used to code some nominal variables.* if one manipulates the X variable, e.g. in an experiment.(3) Linear regression are not symmetric in terms of X and Y. That is interchanging X and Y will give a different regression model (i.e. X in terms of Y) against the original Y in terms of X.On the other hand, if you interchange variables X and Y in the calculation of correlation coefficient you will get the same value of this correlation coefficient.(4) The "best" linear regression model is obtained by selecting the variables (X's) with at least strong correlation to Y, i.e. >= 0.80 or

Regression analysis is a statistical technique to measure the degree of linear agreement in variations between two or more variables.
