Hi again, you say
"Hi Walter. That's the reason for using regression analysis - determines causation and not correlation."
I don't think this is true Jonathan. Regression gives the best parameters should a correlation exist (and a measurement of the statistical strength of a correlation), but cause and effect are not included; they are always a matter of interpretation. That's always the most important part of any statistics! Cheers
