This note provides guidelines for the effective construction and application of linear models. We begin with a discussion and categorization of the various uses for a linear model. Whether a given model is appropriate for a particular use depends on the way the independent and dependent variables relate to each other. Next, we describe the kinds of possible relationships between Y and X variables, and then we emphasize the kind of relationship between Y and X necessary for each potential application of a linear model.
