Initial Post Instructions
If a regression analysis was to be completed on body mass index (BMI), what could be an independent variable in that analysis? Why? If we could, what other independent variables should be included in the analysis? What statistic(s) would show the value of that regression in understanding BMI?
Alternatively, find an article that uses regression analysis to study a medical concern. In that study, what was the dependent variable and what were the independent variable(s)? Further, how would you use this study to highlight the difference between correlations and causation?

In this analysis, we can include diet to represent an extra variable that is independent (Schroeder, Sjoquist & Stephan, 2016). It is evident that the correlation occurring between independent and dependent variables has a coefficient that proves a traceable interlink between the two kinds of variables.
