The principles and assumptions underpining statistical regression analysis are considered. Emphasis is placed on the modelling aspects of the procedure, rather than analysis. Assumptions implicit in the process are identified and the requirements for their validation argued. The tentative status of an identified model is highlighted. The application of the principles is illustrated with an example from Pharmacoepidemiology.
