Study Notes
Regression Analysis
- Regression analysis examines the relationship between variables.
- It builds on correlation analysis to understand how one variable affects another.
- Correlations examine the association between two variables, whilst regression analysis describes the characteristics of the relationship between these variables.
- Regression analysis includes the slope of the relationship and the point where the line intercepts the y-axis.
- Regression uses the same data as correlation, but describes the characteristics of the line of best fit.
- Regression allows the prediction of y-values based on x-values.
- Outcome variable is the variable being predicted.
- Predictor variable is the variable used to predict the outcome variable.
- Multiple regression analysis is used when more than one predictor variable is used.
Correlation
- Correlation analysis examines the association (or relationship) between two variables.
- Correlation coefficients are used to describe the strength and direction of this association.
- Coefficients, which can be positive or negative, assess the relationship between variables.
- Positive correlation: If variable X increases, variable Y also increases.
- Negative correlation: If variable X increases, variable Y decreases.
- The line of best fit describes the association (relationship).
- Magnitude reflects how well the line describes the association and explains how much variance of Y is explained by X (R²).
- Different types of correlation coefficients exist: Spearman coefficient, used for ordinal data, and Pearson correlation coefficient, used for continuous data.
- Correlation analysis produces a magnitude, If the observations are far from the line it means the magnitude will be small.
- If the observations are close to the line, the magnitude will be large.
Regression in SPSS
- To conduct regression analysis, select 'Analyze', 'Regression', and 'Linear...'.
- Move the dependent variable (outcome variable) to the 'Dependent' box.
- Move the independent variable (predictor variable) to the 'Independent(s)' box.
- Check confidence intervals in the 'Statistics' option.
- Interpreting the SPSS Output:
- Model Summary: Measures how much variance of the outcome variable is explained by the predictor variable (R squared).
- ANOVA: Assesses the significance of the model.
- Coefficients: Shows the intercept and the slope of the regression equation. Indicates the significance of the slope (p-value).
Multiple Regression in SPSS
- Multiple regression analyses are used with multiple independent variables.
- SPSS output shows how each independent variable influences the dependent variable.
- The output shows the standardized coefficients that show the strength of the relationship (magnitude).
- The equation calculates the value of Z based on the variables X and Y, along with a constant. The equation is written as Z = aX + bY + c (Where a and b represent the regression coefficients).
- A higher R² reflects a stronger relationship between predictor (independent) variables and the outcome (dependent) variable.
- Multiple regression assesses the significance of the model and output shows the contribution and influence of each predictor variable to the dependent variable.
