In the course of presenting data on the application of linear regression, the authors included in Figure 1 an equation representing the regression of wet‐bulk density on porosity in the form [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are wet‐bulk and grain densities, respectively, in [Formula: see text]. Based on the data of the selected samples shown in Figure 1, they have inferred a grain density of [Formula: see text], and a fluid density of [Formula: see text], not unreasonable values for a brine‐saturated calcareous sediment. However, it is incorrect to draw such inferences from this regression equation without the qualification that the independent variable, in this case porosity, is error free. Based on the porosity values shown in Table 1 (see my Table 1) those data are indeed subject to error.

In our paper on P‐wave anisotropy in deep‐sea carbonates we assessed the degree of water saturation in the samples by a weighted linear regression of [Formula: see text] on Φ in the form [Formula: see text] (1) where [Formula: see text] is bulk density, [Formula: see text] is grain density, Φ is fractional porosity, and [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is fluid density.

Linear regression equation is a mathematical equation in the form of y = a + bx, where x as the variable electric voltage is the independent variable and y as the electric power variable is the dependent variable. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the linear regression equation obtained is y = 28.5849 - 0.6569 x. With this equation, every x value increases from zero to one, then the y value decreases by -0.6569. This means that every addition of a voltage value of one volt, the value of electrical power is reduced by - 0.6569 watts. However, every reduction in the value of the electric voltage is minus one volt, then the value of electrical power increases by 0.6569 watts. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the linear regression equation study can be used to solve electrical power problems.

This study aims to determine the effect of Incentives and Discipline on Employee Performance at PT. Bank Perkreditan Rakyat (BPR) Pijer Podi Kekelenegen Kantor Cabang Medan. The research was conducted on PT. Bank Perkreditan Rakyat (BPR) Pijer Podi Kekelenegen Kantor Cabang Medan with a population of as many as 40 people with using total sampling. Data collection techniques used were through questionnaires (questionnaire) that is by distributing questionnaires to a sample (respondents) and collect them again. The data analysis technique used is the Multiple Linear Regression. Before the data were regressed in the first test of association between the independent variable data to test for normality, multicollinearity, and heterocedasticity. To determine the contribution of factor incentives and discipline to employee performance used formula coefficient of determination (R2). The result showed obtained that by the regression equation Y = 6,505 + 0,532 X1 + 0,247 X2+ e. And showed that  simultaneous incentives and discipline on employee performance at PT. Bank Perkreditan Rakyat (BPR) Pijer Podi Kekelenegen Kantor Cabang Medan, where the value of F count = 15,215 > F table = 3,24 with level of significant (α) 0,000 < 0,05. Coefficient of determination (adjusted R square) of 0,451 means that the influence of incentives and discipline on employee performance at PT. Bank Perkreditan Rakyat (BPR) Pijer Podi Kekelenegen Kantor Cabang Medan 45,1% and the remining 54,9% is influenced by other variables outside of research. Conclusions from the research that there is a positive and significant effect of incentives and discipline on employee performance at PT. Bank Perkreditan Rakyat (BPR) Pijer Podi Kekelenegen Kantor Cabang Medan.            Keywords: Incentives, Discipline, Employee Performance

The study aims to analyze the influence of internal banking factors in the form of: Capital Adequency Ratio (CAR), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and Total Assets (TA) to Non Performing Financing at Sharia Banks. This research method used multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS 16.00 software which is used to see the influence between the independent variables in the form of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) and Total Assets (TA) to Non Performing Financing. The sample of this study was 3 Islamic Commercial Banks, so there were 36 annual reports obtained through purposive sampling, then analyzed using multiple linear regression methods. The results showed that based on the F Test, the independent variable had an effect on the NPF, indicated by the F value of 17,016 and significance of 0,000, overall the independent variable was able to explain the effect of 69.60%. While based on the partial t test, showed that CAR has a significant negative effect, Total assets have a significant positive effect with a significance value below 0.05 (5%). Meanwhile FDR does not affect NPF.

Ease of understanding Accounting Computers in principle is influenced by mastery of Introduction to Accounting in a systematic manner, assuming that it is capable of operating computers properly. To find out the magnitude of the influence in this study taken a sample of introductory Accounting values from a number of first semester 2017 students and the same data sample for students of Computer Accounting (Accurate) courses when they are in the fourth semester 2018. Feasibility until the data is tested by the normality test to find out the distribution of data and by linearity test to obtain linear functions. The data that has been obtained and tested for its feasibility is processed by Linear Regression using SPSS 24. From the results of the research that has been done obtained a regression equation: Y = 67,953 0.35X, which describes each increase in the value of introductory Accounting one unit will affect 0.35 to Computer Accounting value, but in testing the hypothesis that the value of Introduction to Accounting obtained by students does not affect their ability to obtain Computer Accounting values, one of the causes of this is due to the lack of skills of students to operate computers.Keywords: influence, value, ability

This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of promotion costs on income at PT. Bank XYZ. The study was conducted by linear regression that was processed by means of statistical program SPSS16.00. The analysis shows the regression equation as follows: Y = -162982.754 + 247.964X. The result of research shows that there is influence between variable X that is promotion cost with variable Y that is income. However, the effectis not significant because the p-value 0.216 is greater than the 0.05 significance level. Keywords: biaya promosi, penjualan

Abstract Background Universal health care (UHC) may assist families whose children are most prone to early childhood caries (ECC) in accessing dental treatment and prevention. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between UHC, health expenditure and the global prevalence of ECC. Methods Health expenditure as percentage of gross domestic product, UHC service coverage index, and the percentage of 3–5-year-old children with ECC were compared among countries with various income levels using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Three linear regression models were developed, and each was adjusted for the country income level with the prevalence of ECC in 3–5-year-old children being the dependent variable. In model 1, UHC service coverage index was the independent variable whereas in model 2, the independent variable was the health expenditure as percentage of GDP. Model 3 included both independent variables together. Regression coefficients (B), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), P values, and partial eta squared (ƞ2) as measure of effect size were calculated. Results Linear regression including both independent factors revealed that health expenditure as percentage of GDP (P < 0.0001) was significantly associated with the percentage of ECC in 3–5-year-old children while UHC service coverage index was not significantly associated with the prevalence of ECC (P = 0.05). Every 1% increase in GDP allocated to health expenditure was associated with a 3.7% lower percentage of children with ECC (B = − 3.71, 95% CI: − 5.51, − 1.91). UHC service coverage index was not associated with the percentage of children with ECC (B = 0.61, 95% CI: − 0.01, 1.23). The impact of health expenditure on the prevalence of ECC was stronger than that of UHC coverage on the prevalence of ECC (ƞ2 = 0.18 vs. 0.05). Conclusions Higher expenditure on health care may be associated with lower prevalence of ECC and may be a more viable approach to reducing early childhood oral health disparities than UHC alone. The findings suggest that currently, UHC is weakly associated with lower global prevalence of ECC.
