Re: Regression Question

[Dennis Roberts]

i don't understand the question? are you asking: is there a way to take 
data that is logically and naturally discrete ... like, the number of times 
you toss a basketball from the free throw line .... in 100 attempts ... 
that hit the basket and goes through (0, 1, 2, .... 100) ... and make this 
into a continuous variable ... where legitimate values along the line would 
be 1.89, 39.2, etc?

i don't see that this is possible ... though, in a regression equation ... 
if the above were the X variable ... it is possible to enter a value into 
the regression equation ... say, 39.2 and see what comes out but, what 
could it possible mean?

Hi,
  Does anyone know how would it be possible to convert discrete data
to
continous data for regression analysis? what are the implications of
doing that?. Also, is there any good tool for plotting regression
equations (logistic curves etc.). Thanks in advance.
