Data, Inference, and Decisions
The intercept is a key concept in regression analysis that represents the value of the dependent variable when all independent variables are equal to zero. It serves as a baseline or starting point for the regression line on a graph, influencing the interpretation of the model's coefficients. Understanding the intercept is crucial for making sense of how changes in independent variables affect the dependent variable.
