Study Notes
Regression Analysis Overview
- Regression analysis develops a mathematical equation to describe the relationship between dependent and independent variables.
- The independent variable is used to predict the dependent variable in regression.
- The dependent variable is the outcome being predicted in regression studies.
Least Squares Method
- The least squares method is a procedure to find the straight line that best approximates the relationship between variables.
- It estimates the y-intercept (b0) and slope (b1) while minimizing the sum of squared deviations between observed and predicted values.
Coefficients and Metrics
- The y-intercept (b0) for data supplied in Exhibit 14-2 is approximately 16.41176.
- The slope (b1) for the same data is about -0.7647.
- Coefficient of determination (r²) measures the proportion of variation in the dependent variable explained by the regression model, with a value of 0.625 in Exhibit 14-4.
- Sum of squares due to error (SSE) and total sum of squares (SST) are related: SST = SSR + SSE.
Relationships and Predictions
- An increase of $1 in price corresponds to a decrease in demand by 3,000 units or $8,000 in sales, according to regression equations.
- In cases where r² equals 1, it indicates that SSE is 0 and all observed variation is explained by the regression model.
Residuals and Assumptions
- A residual is the difference between the observed value and the predicted value.
- Residual analysis is vital for assessing the appropriateness of the regression model.
- A proper residual plot should show a horizontal band of points centered around zero, indicating no violation of regression assumptions.
- Standardized residuals are calculated by dividing by the standard deviation of residuals.
Visualization
- In scatter diagrams, independent variables are plotted on the x-axis, while dependent variables are on the y-axis.
Confidence Intervals
- The confidence interval for a predicted value of y is broader than that for the average value of y for given x.
Statistical Measurements
- Coefficient of correlation provides insight into the strength and direction of a linear relationship between variables, calculated as approximately 0.7906 in the context of Exhibit 14-4.
- The least squares estimates provide specific calculated metrics, such as 2 for the y-intercept and 1 for the slope in one of the examples.
Key Insights
- SSE cannot exceed SST, ensuring that the predicted values never deviate more than the total variation exhibited in the dependent variable.
- Understanding the relationship and behavior of independent and dependent variables through regression provides insights useful for predictive analytics and decision-making.
