[Verse 1] Draw a line through scattered dots Find the pattern hiding there Y equals a plus b times x Best fit line beyond compare Ordinary least squares method Minimizes error's square Sum of residuals approaches zero When your model's crystal clear [Chorus] R-squared tells you variation explained Higher numbers mean your model's not in vain Standard error shows how far predictions stray Beta coefficients point the causal way Regression reveals what drives the change In this statistical exchange [Verse 2] Multiple predictors join the dance Partial slopes hold others still Adjusted R-squared penalizes noise When extra variables don't fulfill Multicollinearity corrupts Check your VIF for correlation's trap When predictors move in lockstep patterns Independence starts to snap [Chorus] R-squared tells you variation explained Higher numbers mean your model's not in vain Standard error shows how far predictions stray Beta coefficients point the causal way Regression reveals what drives the change In this statistical exchange [Bridge] Heteroskedasticity spreads errors wide Durbin-Watson tests if residuals ride On yesterday's mistakes in serial flow Dummy variables code what numbers can't show Zero-one for categories discrete Interaction terms make variables meet [Verse 3] Logistic curves for binary choice S-shaped probability's voice Time series drift through trending paths Autoregressive echoes past Unit roots make data wander Cointegration pulls them back Random walks without direction Until equilibrium's on track [Chorus] R-squared tells you variation explained Higher numbers mean your model's not in vain Standard error shows how far predictions stray Beta coefficients point the causal way Regression reveals what drives the change In this statistical exchange [Outro] From simple lines to complex webs Regression maps what lies ahead Every coefficient tells a tale Of how variables never fail To dance together through the noise Statistics gives forecasters voice
