Forecasts with the Polynomial Regression Model in Excel
Regression analysis aims to model the expected values for a dependent variable (y) based on independent variables (x). The polynomial regression is a statistical technique to fit a non-linear equation to a data set by employing polynomial functions of the independent variable. We can use the model whenever we notice a non-linear relationship between the […]

Regression Analysis in Financial Modeling
Regression Analysis represents a set of statistical methods and techniques, which we use to evaluate the relationship between variables. These are one dependent variable (our target) and one or more independent variables (predictors). We have three primary variants of regression – simple linear, multiple linear, and non-linear. However, most of the time, we use linear […]
