Regresszióra

Regresszió is a Hungarian term that translates to regression in English. In statistics and data analysis, regression refers to a method of modeling the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. The goal of regression analysis is to understand how changes in the independent variables affect the dependent variable, and to predict future values of the dependent variable based on the independent variables.

There are various types of regression analysis, with linear regression being one of the most common. Linear regression models the relationship between variables as a straight line, assuming that the change in the dependent variable is constant for a unit change in the independent variable. Non-linear regression, on the other hand, is used when the relationship between variables is not linear.

Regression analysis is widely used in many fields, including economics, finance, social sciences, and engineering. For example, economists might use regression to model the relationship between inflation and unemployment rates, while financial analysts might use it to predict stock prices. In everyday language, "regresszió" can also refer to a backward movement or a decline, but its primary technical meaning is rooted in statistical modeling. The interpretation of regression results involves assessing the strength and direction of the relationship, as well as the statistical significance of the findings.
