Regression Analysis Teacher Resources

This site features an online textbook with very in-depth information about multivariable statistics. (NOTE: In the archived version, some images do not appear. However, many of them are multiple-choice questions for students, and if you...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduces students to exponential equations, their graphs, and their application in the real world. The lesson is framed in the context of the number of cell phone users for a...

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson, designed for upper-level high school students, has students linearize the data describing the force of a magnet at various distances. While it is assumed students already know...

This set contains statistics questions regarding non-linear association: straightening data using logarithmic and power transformations. The student analyzes which type of regression will best model the data.

This activity is designed for students to use real-time data to generate a family of parabolic graphs. The data set will be generated by graphing the heights of a ball bounce with respect to time. Students will determine the regression...

Students are introduced to logistic growth curves using a graphing calculator. Lab data includes the number of bacteria over a 20-hour period. The activity numerically approximates the derivative and uses regression to find a curve...

Build a basic understanding of what a residual is.

The list editor provides a means for viewing, editing, and working with data lists. Students can explore distributions, tests, intervals, multiple regression, random sampling, goodness of fit and inferential statistics.

In this activity students can use data collected on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to study functions, predictions, and probability models. Students will track the two hurricanes to see how the paths of the hurricanes affected the Gulf...

Using the USA TODAY Infograph, "More students apply early," students will explore scatter plots and independent and dependent variables. Students will determine a best-fit regression model for the real-life data set and then use the...

Calculating the standard deviation of residuals (or root-mean-square error (RMSD) or root-mean-square deviation (RMSD)) to measure disagreement between a linear regression model and a set of data.

This is a resource for many topics in probability and statistics. Click on the topic of your choice for an explanation. The sites you will be linked to are quite extensive. A degree of higher-level math is necessary for understanding...
