Foresight tutorials are designed to be nontechnical overviews of important methodologies, enabling business forecasters to make more informed use of their forecasting software. In this tutorial on regression modeling, Geoff Allen takes us through the origin and structure of a regression model, lays out the key conditions for obtaining reliable regression forecasts, and illustrates the diagnostic tests that help improve model specification.
