Figure 4: 2017-2019 Comparison (Target Sales vs Actual Sales)


Interpretation:

The y-axis is the amount of sales (the dependent variable) the thing you’re
interested in, is always on the y-axis) and the x-axis is the total target per
year as you can see in the graph year 2017, the target sales is quite
decreasing(see independent variable). Each blue dot represents one
month’s data—how much it rise or fall the sales per month and how many
sales you made that same month.
Glancing the data, you probably notice that sales are decreasing on the month of
November 2017. That’s interesting to know, but by how much? Know how much you’ll
sell?

Now imagine drawing a line through the chart above in the year 2017 one that runs
roughly through the middle of all the data points. This line will help you to see with some
data in the year 2017.

The above example uses only one variable to predict the factor of interest — in this case
rain to predict sales. Typically you start a regression analysis wanting to understand the
impact of several independent variables. So you might include that but also data about a
competitor’s promotion. ““You’re trying to get the line that fits best with your data.” While
there can be dangers to trying to include too many variables in a regression analysis,
skilled analysts can minimize those risks. And considering the impact of multiple variables
at once is one of the biggest advantages of regression.
