Visualizing and Understanding Regression and Correlation Using Dynamic Software
Gordon, Sheldon P.; Gordon, Florence S.
International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, v25 n2 p23-32 2018
This article illustrates ways that dynamic software using some sophisticated techniques in Excel can be used to demonstrate fundamental ideas related to regression and correlation analysis to increase student understanding of the concepts and methods in elementary statistics courses and in courses at the college algebra/precalculus level that stress ideas on curve fitting techniques.
