Linear Regression

By doing a regression try to explain a (dependent) variable by means of a linear function through another (independent) variable. These two variables have a correlation (that is more or less than 0) Below you see a scatter plot that indicates a correlation between variables X and Y. X could be the returns of the Sample EM Index and Y […]
