Study Notes
Hypothesis Testing
- Checking for useful predictors: Determine if any predictor variable is statistically significant.
- Overall model significance: Check if the regression model explains any variation in the dependent variable.
- Test for overall model significance: F-test in the ANOVA table.
- Check for individual predictor significance: Use a t-test to determine if each predictor variable is significant.
Interpreting Regression Coefficients
- Slope coefficients: Represent the change in the dependent variable for a one-unit change in the predictor variable, holding other variables constant.
- Constant term: Represents the expected value of the dependent variable when all predictor variables are equal to zero.
Coding Categorical Variables
- Dummy variables: Represent categorical variables in regression models using 0s and 1s to indicate the presence or absence of a category.
Interaction Effects
- Interaction variable: The product of two predictor variables, used to model the combined effect of two or more predictors on the dependent variable.
Bias-Variance Tradeoff
- Bias: The difference between the predicted value and the true value.
- Variance: The variability of the model's predictions.
- Overfitting: When a model learns the training data too well, leading to high variance and poor performance on unseen data.
- Underfitting: When a model is too simple and cannot capture the complexity of the data, leading to high bias and poor performance on both training and unseen data.
Population and Least Squares Lines
- Population line: The true relationship between the dependent variable and the predictor variables.
- Least squares line: The estimated relationship between the dependent variable and the predictor variables.
