A discussion on two celebrated examples of application of linear regression
Abstract
This work aims at providing some (further) perspective into the analysis of two well-known datasets in terms of the methods of linear regression. The first set has been taken from Hubble's 1929 investigation of the relation between the distances of galaxies and their recessional velocities. The second set relates to Galton's family data on human stature, collected for the purposes of his 1889 book on natural inheritance.
