Multiple regression analysis is used to analyze study data that include two or more independent variables to predict the value of one variable when the value of the independent variables is known.Bivariate correlation measures the extent of relationship of two variables.Factor analysis examines interrelationships among large numbers of variables to identify clusters of variables most closely linked.Simple linear regression analysis is used when one independent variable is used to predict a dependent variable.
