Preferred Label : regression analysis;

MeSH definition : Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.

In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.;
