    What are the main purposes of regression analysis?

    <p>The main purposes of regression analysis are descriptive and predictive. Descriptive regression analysis examines the kind of relationship between variables and its strength, while predictive regression analysis uses the equation relating the dependent variable (Y) and the independent variable (X) to predict the value of Y for a given value of X.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What are the two different situations in regression analysis?

    <p>The two different situations in regression analysis are: (a) Y is a random variable and X is a fixed, non-random variable. (b) Both Y and X are random variables.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the matrix approach to linear regression analysis?

    <p>The matrix approach to linear regression analysis involves representing the regression model using matrix notation. The regression equation can be written as: $Y = X\beta + \epsilon$, where Y is the vector of dependent variable values, X is the matrix of independent variable values, $\beta$ is the vector of unknown coefficients, and $\epsilon$ is the vector of random error terms.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the assumption of homogeneity of variance in a regression model?

    What is the critical assumption of the simple linear regression model?

    How can the observed distribution of residuals be compared to the expected distribution under the assumption of normality?

    <p>One way to compare the observed distribution of residuals to that expected under the assumption of normality is to plot the two cumulative distributions against each other for a series of points. If the two distributions are identical, a straight line results. This plot is called a P-P plot (a cumulative probability plot).</p> Signup and view all the answers
