Study Notes
Coefficient of Correlation
- Coefficient of correlation is the square root of R-squared (r²).
- Indicates the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables.
Regression Analysis
- Error term (ε) in regression analysis has a mean or expected value of 0.
- Coefficient of determination (R-squared) being positive allows the coefficient of correlation to be either positive or negative.
- In the regression equation Ŷ = b0 + b1x, b1 represents the slope indicating the change in Ŷ when x changes.
- Dependent variable is the one being predicted in regression analysis.
- Regression model describes the relationship between dependent variable (y) and independent variable (x).
- Standard error of the estimate is calculated as the square root of Mean Squared Error (MSE).
- R-squared measures the proportion of variation in dependent variable (y) explained by the regression equation.
Confidence and Prediction Intervals
- Interval estimate for mean value of y for a specific x is the confidence interval estimate.
- Interval estimate for an individual value of y for a certain x is termed the prediction interval estimate.
- Confidence interval will be narrower than the prediction interval.
Sales and Advertising Example
- An increase of $1 in advertising correlates with a $4000 increase in sales (Ŷ = 30000 + 4x).
- Another example shows when advertising is $10,000, estimated sales (in dollars) is $700,000 based on Ŷ = 80 + 6.2x.
Residual Analysis
- A residual plot should show a horizontal band of points centered near zero if the assumptions of the regression model are not challenged.
Hypothesis Testing
- Alternative hypothesis for proportion comparison between two populations indicates that p1 - p2 > 0.
- For tests about p1 - p2, the pooled estimator of p is a weighted average of p̄1 and p̄2.
- Equality of three or more population proportions can be tested through appropriate procedures.
Chi-Square Distribution
- Sampling distribution for a goodness of fit test follows the chi-square distribution.
- Chi-square distribution is pivotal in tests such as goodness of fit, independence of categorical variables, and inferences about a population variance.
- Degrees of freedom in a chi-square test of independence are calculated as (number of rows - 1) * (number of columns - 1).
- Goodness of fit test is a statistical approach to assess if a hypothesized distribution fits observed data; it is always an upper tail test.
Categorical Data Analysis
- Goodness of fit tests, tests of independence, and tests of multiple proportions are designed for categorical data analysis.
Difference Between Population Means
- When estimating the difference between two population means, sample sizes (n1 and n2) can differ.
- Standard error for the difference between sample means (x̄1 - x̄2) is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of that difference.
- Matched samples design is used when comparing the completion times of two production methods by the same group of workers.
- Pooled sample variance is applicable in independent samples when population standard deviations are equal.
