Online resources: This 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 to examine whether reading performance in kindergarten is predicted by family income in the U.S. Analysis like this might help researchers and policy makers better understand early childhood education.
