Article 1 Critique

The study is related to the question that is how criminal justice statisticians can successfully utilize regression analysis. In criminal justice, regression analysis is the most commonly performed statistical procedure. The regression analysis provides a simple yet flexible way compute ordinary least squares regression estimates for the variables that are crucial for the criminal justice. Options to the regression analysis that are linear and the multiple regression permit the computation of regression diagnostics and two stage least squares estimates that help the criminal justice statisticians in working on the criminal justice statistics.

In statistics, regression analysis includes many techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables that can help in identifying the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables of the criminal justice.

In criminal justice, the general purpose of regression analysis is to analyze the relationship between several independent variables which are also called regression or predictors and dependent variable. Criminal justice statisticians generally use multiple regression procedures to determine the adequate criminal justice factors. The statisticians can define a number of factors or parameters (Cohen, 2003).

Criminal justice statisticians often face multicollinearity among the independent variables. Multicollinearity problem is common in criminal justice to many methods of correlation analysis. In criminal justice, the dependent variable might be a sentence satisfaction and the independent variables measures can be legal services satisfaction (Cohen, 2003). Therefore, regression analysis that is linear regression and the multiple regressions, both help the criminal justice statisticians to get the results.

After the above discussion, it can be said that for the criminal justice statisticians, regression analysis that include both linear and the multiple regression are important as it guides the criminal justice statisticians in analyzing and interpreting the criminal justice data for getting the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables.

The objective of the above article is to know the following the research questions;

- Is a political view varies across the education level of the people?

- Impact of education on the abortion of pregnant female.

In the study, the participants with the 12th grade are high and the contribution of the participants with 2 years of the college also participated in the study. The participants from the protestant were high and the respondents with catholic religion were also high as compared to other religious group. Most of the participants were married that is more than 2000, and about 1100 were not married. Moreover, about 700 people who participated in the study were divorced, few were widowed and few were separated.

From the study, it is found that the levels of education have inverse relationship with ...
