""" .. _ex-linear-regression-raw: ======================================== Regression on continuous data (rER[P/F]) ======================================== This demonstrates how rER[P/F]s - regressing the continuous data - is a generalisation of traditional averaging. If all preprocessing steps are the same, no overlap between epochs exists, and if all predictors are binary, regression is virtually identical to traditional averaging. If overlap exists and/or predictors are continuous, traditional averaging is inapplicable, but regression can estimate effects, including those of continuous predictors. rERPs are described in :footcite:t:`SmithKutas2015`.
