Study Notes
Regression Analysis
- Explanatory variable: The variable that is used to predict or explain the response variable.
- Response variable: The variable being predicted or explained by the explanatory variable.
Least-Squares Regression Line (LSRL)
- Represents the best fit line that minimizes the sum of the squared errors between the observed and predicted values.
- The goal is to find the line that best predicts the response variable based on the explanatory variable.
Slope of the Regression Line
- Represents the change in the response variable for a one-unit change in the explanatory variable.
- Measures the strength and direction of the relationship between the two variables.
Correlation Coefficient (r)
- Measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between the two variables.
- Values range from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to 1 (perfect positive correlation).
Interpretation of Regression Analysis
- Slope: The rate of change of the response variable with respect to the explanatory variable.
- Correlation Coefficient (r): The strength of the linear relationship between the two variables.
- Coefficient of Determination (r^2): The proportion of the variance in the response variable that is explained by the explanatory variable.
