of NORMAL GDP has effect on public sector digitization degree of relationship among features component.
Also, Durbin-Watson stat of 0.815169 shows that there is no evidence of the element of positive
autocorrelation meaning that there is no linear relationship between public sector digitization. The
normality histogram reveals the set of data positively that is skewed to the frequency curve right and jarqueBera value of 14.59571 and associated probability value of 0.000680 which signifies normal distribution
(Normality) of the multiple regression models for the H1: There is evidence of significant difference of
