Statistical Thinking for Industrial Problem Solving

A free online statistics course

Correlation and Regression

The process of solving problems and finding new opportunities often begins with asking basic questions about how one variable relates to another. For example:

  • What is the relationship between chemical reaction time and impurity percentage?
  • Which settings of temperature and catalyst concentration will result in higher yield?
  • Which variables are significant predictors of defective parts?

Correlation and regression analysis can be used to explore variable relationships and ultimately explain, predict and optimize outcomes.
