• Key Concepts: 
  Regression is a statistical technique used to analyze the relationship between two or more variables. It is used to predict the value of one variable based on the values of other variables. In SAP Predictive Analytics, regression is used to create predictive models that can be used to forecast future outcomes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Predictive Analytics, regression can be used to create predictive models that can be used to forecast future outcomes. To use regression, you need to define the dependent variable (the variable you want to predict) and the independent variables (the variables that will be used to predict the dependent variable). You then need to select a regression algorithm and configure the parameters for the model. Once the model is created, you can use it to make predictions about future outcomes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using regression in SAP Predictive Analytics, it is important to select an appropriate algorithm for your data and configure the parameters correctly. It is also important to evaluate the performance of your model and make adjustments as needed.
