Introduction to Simple Linear Regression

Introduction to Simple Linear Regression

This page, created by Gerard E. Dallal of Tufts University, explains simple linear regression with an example on muscle strength versus lean body mass. Dallal uses graphs, mathematical equations and text to illustrate this lesson. The author presents four main portions this method, they are: the regression equation, borrowing strength, interpolation and extrapolation. This would be a great example of a lesson plan for any interested in either study or instruction of statistics.
