Multivariate Regression Unlocks Powerful Forecasting, Transforming Decision-Making Across Industries.
Multivariate regression is a powerful method for forecasting future outcomes. The article explains how to use regression analysis step-by-step to create forecasting equations for both linear and multivariate cases. It shows that linear regression is a special case of the multivariate problem. The article also discusses how to test the model for statistical significance and how to obtain the final regression equation for forecasting. A comparison between a hand solution and a MINITAB-derived solution is used to validate the statistical tool for larger problems.
