Abstract
In the next two chapters we examine univariate and regression analysis based on the central distribution of statistical inference and data analysis, the normal, or Gaussian, distribution. It is important to note that the brief overview of least squares regression given here is not a substitute for the thorough discussion that would appear in a good regression textbook. See the “Background material” section of this chapter for several examples of such books.
