Investigating Certain Statistical Analyses Used in Multiple Prediction Studies by SWOT Analysis

Multiple linear regression (MLR), logistic regression (LR), discriminant analysis (DA), and structural equation modeling (SEM) are some of the most widely used linear statistics in multiple regression studies. In this study, positive and negative sides of certain statistical analyses were taken into account from a different view using SWOT analysis. In this study, it is aimed to express the positive/negative sides of statistics which are widely used in multiple regression studies (multiple linear regression, logistic regression, discriminant analysis and structural equation modeling) and what kind of mistakes may be encountered in such statistical analyses making use of SWOT analysis .It can be seen that each of MLR, LR, DA and SEM statistical analyses that were examined within the scope of this study has strong and weak sides compared to other analyses used in regression studies.
