Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple regression analysis is an extension of bivariate regression analysis where it assumes a linear relationship between the dependent variable and multiple independent variables. Correlation measures the strength of the association between two variables, but does not assume a linear relationship. Chi-square analysis examines the association between categorical variables. Analysis of variables is not a statistical technique.
