Performing regression analysis involves several key steps:
1. Define the Research Question: Clearly identify what you want to study and the variables involved. 2. Collect Data: Gather data from reliable sources. This could be patient records, surveys, or clinical trials. 3. Choose the Right Model: Depending on your research question, choose the appropriate type of regression analysis. 4. Analyze the Data: Use statistical software like SPSS, SAS, or R to run the regression analysis. 5. Interpret the Results: Understand the coefficients, p-values, and other statistical outputs to draw meaningful conclusions.
