| Summary: | This dataset example introduces simple regression, which allows researchers to evaluate whether a continuous dependent variable is a linear function of a single independent variable. The simple linear regression model is most commonly estimated via ordinary least squares (OLS), and is sometimes called OLS regression. This example uses a subset of data looking specifically at whether the poverty rate in a US state predicts a state's infant mortality rate. Analysis like this might help researchers and policy makers better understand the link between poverty and adverse health outcomes. |
