  Regression analysis is a technique that can help us understand the relationship between two variables.  

This statistical technique looks at the dependent variable (the variable we are trying to predict represented by Y) with relation to the independent variable (the variable that has an effect on the dependent variable and is represented with X) and attempts to show the relationship between the two if there is any.
