Regression is a statistical method used in data analysis which investigates the relationship between a dependent (target) and independent variable(s) (predictor). This method is mostly used for forecasting, time series modeling, and finding the causal effect relationship between the variables. For example, the relationship between rainfall and soil erosion or the relationship between salary and years of experience.
