Regression Coefficient
The regression is measured through regression coefficient. The regression coefficient gives the amount of increase in the dependent variable for an unit increase in the independent variable. This quantity is represented by ‘b’.
bYX = Regression coefficient of Y on X = r σY/σX ——— (A)
Similarly, the coefficient of regression of X on Y indicates the change in the value of variable X corresponding to a unit change in the value of variable Y and is
bXY = Regression coefficient of X on Y = r σX/σY ———(B)
