Study Notes
Skewness
- Indicates how symmetrical the distribution of scores is, a measure of asymmetry in a distribution.
Normal Distribution
- Characterized by a bell-shaped curve, with a single peak in the center and symmetrical tails.
Bivariate Correlation
- Describes the relationship between two variables before controlling for others, indicating the strength and direction of the relationship.
Significance in Regression Analysis
- To check if each variable contributes significantly, examine the p-value associated with each variable's coefficient.
Hierarchical Regression
- A useful technique where contributions of variables are compared in different steps to determine their unique effects.
Importance of Variable
- In a regression analysis, the standardized regression coefficient (beta) indicates the extent to which a variable is important in explaining the outcome.
Regression Coefficient
- The unstandardized regression coefficient is in the original units of the variable.
Standardized vs. Non-Standardized Coefficients
- The standardized regression coefficient allows for comparison of coefficients across different variables, even if they have different scales.
Types of Correlation
- Zero-order correlation is the regular bivariate correlation between two variables.
- Partial correlation aims to control for the presence of other variables, indicating the relationship between two variables as if the other variables were held constant.
- Zero-order correlation does not control for the presence of any other variables.
- Semi-partial correlation removes the influence of other variables from the predictor but not the criterion, revealing the unique contribution of the predictor to the criterion while controlling for other factors.
Significance of Contributor Testing
- Assesses the significance of adding new variables in a hierarchical regression model.
Hierarchical Regression Significance
- The change in R-squared (ΔR2) is used to assess the significance of adding new variables in a hierarchical regression model.
ΔR2
- The Greek letter Δ is used to signify the change in R-squared (ΔR2), which represents the increase in explained variance when a new variable is added to the model.
Contribution of Variables
- The contribution of variables might decrease in a hierarchical regression because the variance explained by the earlier variables is already accounted for, leaving less unique variance for subsequent variables to explain.
Linear Association
- The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) is commonly used to assess a linear association between two quantitative variables.
Regression Assumption
- The assumption of homoscedasticity emphasizes having equal variances between the variables.
Unique Contribution
- Semi-partial correlation helps assess the unique contribution of a predictor variable while controlling for others.
Multiple Regression
- Multiple regression is used to analyze the effect of multiple predictor variables on a single criterion variable.
Correlation with Control
- Partial correlation controls for the effect of one or more variables while calculating the correlation between two other variables.
Standardized Relationship
- In regression analysis, standardized regression coefficients (beta) standardize the relationship between each predictor variable and the criterion variable for comparison.
Multiple Regression Multicollinearity
- In multiple regression, it must be checked that the same variable is not represented more than once (multicollinearity).
Statistical Significance
- F-statistic allows us to determine statistically significant contributors to the multiple regression model.
Non-Controlled Correlation
- Zero-order correlation is calculated without controlling for the effect of any other variable.
Partial vs. Semi-partial Correlation
- The key difference between partial correlation and semi-partial correlation is that partial correlation controls for all other variables while semi-partial correlation controls only for the other predictor variables.
