Correlation and Regression
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on Correlation and Regression Analysis with SmartstatXL. In this guide, you will find various tutorials designed to help you understand and apply different types of correlation and regression analyses using the Excel add-in, SmartstatXL. Each tutorial is structured to provide a clear and easy-to-understand explanation on how to perform each type of analysis, enabling you to confidently implement them in your own research.
Starting with How to Perform Correlation Analysis, which helps you understand the relationship between two variables, to various types of regression analyses such as Ordinal Regression, Multinomial Regression, Logit and Probit Regression, and Response Surface Regression. You will also find guides on how to perform Polynomial Regression, Multiple Linear Regression, and Simple Linear Regression. Each of these tutorials is designed to give you a deep understanding of each method and how to apply it using SmartstatXL.

SmartstatXL offers various types of regression analysis to model the relationship between independent and dependent variables. One type of analysis that can be carried out with SmartstatXL is Ordinal Regression.
Ordinal Regression is specifically used to model dependent variables that are ordinal in nature, i.e., they have categories with a specific order. Although it is a part of regression analysis, ordinal regression distinguishes itself by focusing on ordinal dependent variables, while the independent variables can be ordinal, interval, or ratio.
In the context of statistics, the dependent variable is also often referred to as the response, endogenous variable, prognostic variable, or regression. Meanwhile, independent variables may be known as exogenous variables, predictor variables, or regressors. For practical example, consider movie ratings given on a scale of 1 to 5.

Response Surface Methodology, also known as Response Surface Methodology (RSM), is a combination of mathematical and statistical techniques focused on modeling the relationship between response and several independent variables. The primary objective of this method is optimization, which is to find the combination of independent variables that can produce an optimal response.

SmartstatXL offers a variety of regression analyses to model the relationship between independent and dependent variables. One such type of analysis that can be performed with SmartstatXL is Multinomial Logistic Regression.
Multinomial Logistic Regression is specifically designed for situations where the dependent variable is nominal with more than two levels or categories. Although similar to multiple linear regression in terms of predictive analysis, multinomial regression focuses on nominal dependent variables. Its primary objective is to explain the relationship between the dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
For example, if you want to predict someone's food preference based on several independent variables, the possible outcomes may include: Vegetarian, Non-Vegetarian, and Vegan.

SmartstatXL offers various types of regression analyses, one of which is Polynomial Regression. Polynomial Regression, including quadratic, cubic, quartic, and so on, is used as a statistical inference tool to determine the influence of one or more independent variables on the dependent variable.
Unlike simple and multiple linear regression, polynomial regression has a different nature of relationship between the independent variable (X) and the dependent variable (Y). In polynomial regression, the relationship between X and Y is not always proportional, depending on the order of the polynomial used.
Polynomial regression models can involve more than one predictor variable (X) with a definable order. However, this model does not consider the interactions between predictor variables. Some examples of polynomial regression equations are:
Y = β0 + β1X + β2X²
Y = β0 + β1X + β2X² + β3X³ + ...
Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X1² + β3X2 + β4X2² + ...

SmartstatXL offers various types of regression analyses to model the relationship between independent and dependent variables. One such analysis that can be performed with SmartstatXL is Logit and Probit Regression.
Logit and Probit Regression, also known as logistic regression, are suitable methods to use when the dependent variable is dichotomous or binary. Logistic regression allows us to predict and explain the relationship between a binary dependent variable (with two possible outcomes) and one or more independent variables, whether they are nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. Some examples of binary dependent variables include: Yes or No, Pass or Fail, Spam or Not, and 0 or 1.

Multiple linear regression analysis is a method used to determine the influence of multiple independent variables on a single dependent variable. Similar to simple linear regression, the relationship between variables in multiple linear regression is linear. This means that changes in independent variables (X) will be followed by proportional changes in the dependent variable (Y). The main difference between these two methods lies in the number of independent variables: in multiple linear regression, there is more than one independent variable. The equation for the multiple linear regression model is expressed as:
Y = β₀ + β₁X₁ + β₂X₂ + ... + βnXn + ε
