Why are there two regression lines?
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.
Is the line of best fit the same as linear regression?
Linear Regression is a method to generate a "Line of Best fit" yes you can use it, but it depends on the data as to accuracy, standard deviation, etc. there are other types of regression like polynomial regression.
What is Definition of linear regression and correlation in statistics?
Whenever you are given a series of data points, you make a linear regression by estimating a line that comes as close to running through the points as possible. To maximize the accuracy of this line, it is constructed as a Least Square Regression Line (LSRL for short). The regression is the difference between the actual y value of a data point and the y value predicted by your line, and the LSRL minimizes the sum of all the squares of your regression on the line. A Correlation is a number between -1 and 1 that indicates how well a straight line represents a series of points. A value greater than one means it shows a positive slope; a value less than one, a negative slope. The farther away the correlation is from 0, the less accurately a straight line describes the data.
Is the least-squares regression line resistant?
No, it is not resistant.It can be pulled toward influential points.
What is true about the y-intercept in the linear regression model?
The value depends on the slope of the line.
