What is the purpose of regression analysis?

The purpose of regression analysis is to examine the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It helps in understanding how changes in the independent variables affect the dependent variable and allows for the prediction and estimation of the dependent variable based on the values of the independent variables. Regression analysis is used to identify and quantify the strength and direction of the relationship between variables, test hypotheses, and make predictions or forecasts.
