I am looking at predictors of length of stay and would like some help in terms of which statistical analysis to run. I have about 5 different independent variables.
You are referring to linear regression I guess. If all the variables (both independents and dependent) are continuous you can use linear regression. First of all run the analysis, get the residual and then test the residual. If the residual is normal then there is no problem you can go ahead with the analysis.
