Estimation of Linear Regression with the Dimensional Analysis Method

Dimensional Analysis (DA) is a mathematical method that manipulates the data to be analyzed in a homogenized manner. Likewise, linear regression is a potent method for analyzing data in diverse fields. At the same time, data visualization has gained attention in tendency study. In addition, linear regression is an important topic to address predictive models and patterns in data study. However, it is still pending to attack the manipulation of uncertainty related to the data transformation. In this sense, this work presents a new contribution with linear regression, combining the Dimensional Analysis (DA) to address instability and error issues. In addition, our method provides a second contribution related to including the decision maker’s attitude involved in the study. Therefore, the experimentation shows that DA manipulates the regression problem under a complex situation that the outcome may have in the investigation. A real-life case study is used to demonstrate our proposal.
