Study Notes
Multiple Regression
- The natural extension to linear regression is multiple regression, which examines the connection between y and 2+ x variables.
- The equation for multiple regression is y^i = a + b1 xi,1 + b2 xi,2 + … + bn xi,n.
- The coefficient bj represents the association between variables xi,j and yi.
- The sign of bj indicates the direction of the association.
Multicollinearity
- Multicollinearity occurs when 2 variables are highly correlated with each other.
- Changing the set of variables can surprisingly change the model.
Binary Quantitative Variable
- A binary quantitative variable can be added to a multiple regression by coding a “dummy variable” as 0 and 1.
Scatter Plot
- A scatter plot is a cloud of points that represents bivariate data (a pair of variables).
- The scatter plot is summarized by the point of averages, the SD of the 2 variables, and the correlation coefficient.
Correlation Coefficient
- The population correlation coefficient is the mean of the product of the variables in standard units.
- The sample correlation coefficient can be found using cor().
Prediction
- The Regression Line is better than the SD line for prediction, as it uses all 5 numerical summaries for the scatter plot.
- It is a smoothed version of the graph of averages.
- It is important to check the scatter plot before making any predictions.
Fitting a Linear Model
- Fitting a linear model is easy in R, but requires careful thought to make sure it is appropriate.
- Otherwise, any predictions are invalid.
Scaling
- The correlation coefficient is shift and scale invariant.
Regression Line
- The Regression Line is a better option for finding the optimal line, as it uses the 5 summaries: x̄, ȳ, SDx, SDy, and r.
- The Regression Line is more accurate than the SD line, as it is sensitive to the amount of clustering around the line.
Linear Regression Framework
- Given bivariate data (x, y) and a research question, the linear regression framework involves 6 steps:
- Produce a scatter plot
- Produce a Regression line
- Calculate the correlation coefficient
- Produce a residual plot
- Check assumptions
- Perform predictions
