Chapter Chapter 4 in Matrix-Based Introduction to Multivariate Data Analysis, 2016, pp 47-62 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the previous two chapters, we expressed elementary statistics in matrix form as preparation for introducing multivariate analysis procedures. The introduction to those procedures begins in this chapter. Here, we treat regression analysisRegression analysis whose purpose is to predict or explain a variable from a set of other variables. The origin of regression analysis is found in the studies of Francis Golton (1822–1911, British scientist) on heredity stature in the mid-1880s. The history of developments in regression analysis is well summarized in Izenman (2008, pp. 107–108).
