• Resumen

  • This article, presents a procedure for generating a sequence of data sets which will yield exactly the same fitted simple linear regression equation y?=?a?+?bx. Unless rescaled, the generated data sets will have progressively smaller variability for the two variables, and the associated response and covariate will 'regress' towards their unconditional sample means.
