Statistical Estimation Methods Sample Clauses

Statistical Estimation Methods. Several options are available for estimation of research models. It depends upon the relationship between dependent and independent variables. In most of the cases where we are judging the strength of relationship between dependent and independent variables with the effect of moderators and both the dependent and the independent variables are continuous in nature we use the multiple regression analysis (▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇, 1983). This is measured by the predictive validity coefficient of the model-R2. Regression analysis is considered highly important in statistical estimations that involve interaction effects. Thus we adopted multiple regression analysis with ordinary least square method. This method has been widely applied with studies of a similar nature (▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2006).
