Study Notes
Correlation
- Correlation measures the degree of relatedness of variables.
- The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient is a measure of the linear relationship between two variables.
-
Formula for Correlation:
r = ( x − x )( y − y ) / √( ( x − x )2 ( y − y )2)
- r values range from -1 to +1:
- 0 represents no linear relationship.
- +1 represents perfect positive correlation.
- -1 represents perfect negative correlation.
Regression Analysis
- Regression analysis determines the relationship between variables.
- Variables are classified as:
- Independent: The variable that is thought to influence the other.
- Dependent: The variable that is being influenced.
- The calculation of the slope and y-intercept of the regression line is used to determine the equation of the regression line.
- Residuals are calculated to assess the fit of the model, locate outliers, and test the assumptions of the regression model.
- The standard error of the estimate, calculated from the sum of squared errors, determines the model's overall fit.
- The coefficient of determination, a measure of the model's fit, is related to the coefficient of correlation.
- The t-test & F-test are used to test hypotheses about the slope of the regression model and the overall regression model, respectively.
- Confidence intervals are used to estimate the conditional mean of the dependent variable, while prediction intervals estimate a single value of the dependent variable.
- Trend lines, using alternate coding for time periods, are used to forecast outcomes for future time periods.
- Computer programs are used to develop and interpret regression analysis outputs.
