    Morning all,
    A quick questions: I’m doing some linier regression to understand the relationship between individual X variables and my Y.
    I’m doing the regression in Minitab and then again in Excel and am getting very different equations. The R-squared value is the same though.
    What’s happening here?

     I think you will need to provide a bit more information. When you say you get “very different equations” do you mean completely different coefficients, completely different terms, or something else?

    Thanks for replying Robert
    Yeah, everything is different. Excel is saying:
    y = -0.0099x + 0.6148
    with an r-squared of 0.0538
    Minitab is talking about:
    y =  13.58 – 5.404x
    with a r-squared of  0.053
    When I apply a polynomial the equations are still different although the r-squared stays relatively consistent.

    Lorax,
    Send me the data offline and I will look at it.
