Hi everyone,
I am doing a project with two different groups (clinical and control). I want to compare their scores on a couple of variables (ex: body image disturbance), while controlling for age and BMI.
My committee member recommended I do a regression, and noted that it would allow me to control for age and BMI and then see if they in fact differed on my variable.
A different person recommended I do an ANCOVA to look at the same thing.
Can anyone explain how a regression would allow me to see if they differ? Is there any advantage to using one over the other (regression or ANCOVA)? Thank you!!
