ABSTRACT
In Chapter 12, it was shown how the methods of regression could be used to predict scores on one dependent (or criterion) variable from knowledge of scores on dependent variables (known also as regressors). In the situations we discussed, both the dependent variable and the independent variables were always quantitative and the data were always in the form of measurements. There are circumstances, however, in which one might wish to predict, not scores on a quantitative dependent variable, but category membership.
