Distinguishes between situations to which linear regression analysis is applicable and situations which involve linear structural relations. Although both situations involve estimates of linear parameters, the parameters serve a different purpose in the 2 situations, and, consequently, their estimates in general will differ. The assumptions and predictive nature of regression are reviewed and contrasted with the assumptions and nature of linear structural relations. In the structural relation, there is no question about 2 regression lines; only 1 line is of interest. The implications of measurement errors for the 2 situations are pointed out. An example is given in which linear regression analysis was used inappropriately, and in which the analysis for a linear structural relation would have been appropriate.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
