Question
========
Using the data provided in [regression.csv](regression.csv) estimate a linear regression of
`y` on `x1` and `x2`. Answer the following questions.

Answerlist
----------
* Proportion of variance explained (in percent):
* F-statistic:
* Characterize in your own words how the response `y` depends on the regressors `x1` and `x2`.
* Upload the R script you used to analyze the data.

Solution
========
The presented results describe a semi-logarithmic regression.


```

Call:
lm(formula = log(y) ~ x1 + x2, data = d)

Residuals:
     Min       1Q   Median       3Q      Max 
-2.68802 -0.67816 -0.01803  0.68866  2.35064 

Coefficients:
            Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) -0.06802    0.13491  -0.504    0.616
x1           1.37863    0.13351  10.326 9.34e-15
x2          -0.21449    0.13995  -1.533    0.131

Residual standard error: 1.052 on 58 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared:  0.6511,	Adjusted R-squared:  0.6391 
F-statistic: 54.12 on 2 and 58 DF,  p-value: 5.472e-14
```

The mean of the response `y` increases with increasing `x1`.
If `x1` increases by 1 unit then a change of `y` by about 296.94 percent can be expected.
Also, the effect of `x1` is  significant at the 5 percent level.

Variable `x2` has no significant influence on the response at 5 percent level.

The R-squared is 0.6511 and thus 65.11 percent of the
variance of the response is explained by the regression.

The F-statistic is 54.12.

Answerlist
----------
* Proportion of variance explained: 65.11 percent.
* F-statistic: 54.12.
* Characterization: semi-logarithmic.
* R code.
