Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple regression is the statistical technique that predicts or explains the value for a dependent variable using the values of independent variables. Factor analysis and multidimensional scaling are used for data reduction and to identify underlying structures in data. Multivariate analysis of variance is used to analyze the differences between multiple groups with multiple dependent variables. Discriminant analysis is used for classification purposes.
