Study Notes
Regression Analysis
- Regression analysis is a supervised learning method that predicts an outcome variable based on one or more predictor variables.
- The outcome variable (Y) is quantitative, and often the predictor variable (X) is also quantitative.
Workflow of Regression Modelling
- The data generating model describes the relationship between the predictor and outcome variables.
- The objective function measures how well the model fits the data.
- Optimization techniques are used to find the best model parameters.
- The model is then implemented to make predictions.
- Model selection involves choosing the best model from a set of candidates.
Simple Linear Regression
- Simple linear regression uses one predictor variable (X) to predict the outcome variable (Y).
- The assumption is that there is an approximate linear relationship between X and Y.
- The model has the form: Y ≈ f(X) = β0 + β1X, where β0 is the intercept and β1 is the slope.
Estimating the Regression Model
- The regression weights (β0 and β1) are estimated by minimizing the residual sum of squares, which represents the difference between the predicted and actual values.
- The least squares criterion is used to find the optimal values for the weights.
Multiple Linear Regression
- Multiple linear regression uses multiple predictor variables (X1, X2, ..., Xp) to predict the outcome variable (Y).
- It uses a linear model with coefficients for each predictor.
- The formula for multiple linear regression is: yi = β0 + β1xi1 + β2xi2 + ... + βp xip + εi, where εi is an error term that accounts for the variation not explained by the predictors.
Estimating Regression Coefficients with Matrix Notation
- Multiple linear regression can be expressed using matrix notation for efficiency, especially with many predictor variables.
- The formula using matrices is: y = Xβ + ε, where y is the outcome vector, X is the design matrix containing the predictors, β is the vector of coefficients, and ε is the error vector.
- Solution of the matrix system leads to optimal coefficients vector β.
