The correct answer is
difference between variables

Regression Analysis Purpose

Regression analysis is a statistical technique used to understand and quantify the relationship between variables.

It focuses on modeling how changes in one or more independent variables are associated with changes in a dependent variable.

Core Function:
  • Regression aims to estimate the average difference in the dependent variable that occurs due to a unit change in an independent variable.
  • This estimated difference is represented by the regression coefficient (e.g., $\beta$).
  • The model helps predict the dependent variable's value based on the independent variable(s), effectively measuring the expected difference.

Thus, regression analysis is performed to measure the specific difference between variables, indicating how one variable changes in relation to another.
