<br />The analysis of multiple data collection locations to <br />make st:atistical infer'"nc"~ at llngaqed locations may be <br />accomplished by regression analysis. Regression analy- <br />sis seE:ks to develop a mathematical expression that can <br />be used to predict the value for an independent varia- <br />ble as a function of one or more independen.t variables. <br />Several investigators hav,,~ used re'Jre,ssion analysis to <br />develop predictive equations for cengaged locations in <br />Colorado. I have listed references for some of the <br />regression analysis investigations that have been <br />developed for Colorado.. ~:'he regression analysis inves- <br />tigations that I have referenced are Open File Reports <br />available from the Water Resc>urces Division of u.s. <br />Geological Survey.
