Question

regression analysis is a method for building a statistical model that defines a relationship between a single dependent variable and one or more select variables, all of which are numerical. dropdown options: select, independent, randomized, dependent, minimized

Explanation:

In regression analysis, the model defines a relationship between a dependent variable (the one being predicted or explained) and one or more independent variables (the ones used to predict or explain the dependent variable). The other options don't fit: "randomized" refers to experimental design, "dependent" is the variable being explained (not the predictor), and "minimized" relates to error minimization in regression, not the variable type. So the correct term is "independent".

Answer:

independent
