Initial Post Instructions
If a regression analysis was to be completed on body mass index (BMI), what could be an
independent variable in that analysis? Why? If we could, what other independent variables
should be included in the analysis? What statistic(s) would show the value of that regression in
understanding BMI?Alternatively, find an article that uses regression analysis to study a medical
concern. In that study, what was the dependent variable and what were the independent
variable(s)? Further, how would you use this study to highlight the difference between
correlations and causation?
