Hi all- a quick (or maybe not so quick) statistical question- I have
a set of data that I thought I wanted to use multiple regression
with, but now think thats a mistake- I want to see what influences if
a person will be working or not- I had thought that I would use
multiple regression with working as the dep variable, and a bunch of
other factors (age, gender, field of study, etc) as the predictors.
However, the depend. variable is yes/no. My understanding of
multiple regression is that it "figures out" the % of variance that
is accounted for by the set of predicotrs- so is it correct to say
that doesn't make sense to use multiple regression - and most
importantly- WHAT WOULD I USE INSTEAD? :)
