Multiple Linear Regression
- Multiple linear regression is a statistical technique used to model the relationship between a single outcome variable and multiple predictor variables.
- It extends simple linear regression, which only considers one predictor variable.
- Multiple regression is useful for understanding complex relationships in real-world data.
Example: Skin Cancer Mortality
- This example analyzes skin cancer mortality rates across US states.
- Variables considered include latitude, longitude, and a coastal indicator (whether the state borders an ocean).
- Studies show a relationship between skin cancer mortality and latitude, with mortality rates decreasing as latitude increases.
- Preliminary analysis suggests a weaker relationship between mortality and longitude, as well as with the coastal indicator.
- Subsequent regression analysis investigates the relationship between skin cancer mortality and latitude and the coastal indicator together.
- Another regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between skin cancer mortality and longitude.
Regression of Skin Cancer Mortality on Latitude (North-South)
- This regression model evaluated the relationship between skin cancer mortality and latitude.
- Latitude is strongly associated with skin cancer mortality rate.
- The analysis suggests a negative linear correlation between the two variables, meaning the skin cancer mortality rate is lower in places with higher latitudes.
- The p-value (<2e-16) is extremely small, suggesting a strong statistical association.
Regression of Skin Cancer Mortality on Longitude (East-West)
- The analysis found no significant association between longitude and skin cancer mortality rate.
- This means that the location of states horizontally on the map (longitude) does not correlate with cancer mortality rate.
- The p value being high indicates no significant relationship between the two factors.
Regression of Skin Cancer Mortality on Ocean Indicator
- This model assessed if states bordering an ocean have different skin cancer mortality rates than those that do not.
- The outcome variable showed a statistically significant association with ocean status.
- Skin cancer mortality is higher in coastal states than in non-coastal states.
Interpretation: Regression of Skin Cancer Mortality on Latitude (North-South)
- The linear effect of latitude on skin cancer mortality is highly significant.
- The model rejects the null hypothesis that latitude has no impact on skin cancer mortality.
- The prediction shows a decrease in skin cancer mortality rates as latitude increases.
- The 95% confidence interval for the effect suggests a considerable decrease in mortality rate with a 1-degree increase in latitude
Interpretation: Regression of Skin Cancer Mortality on Longitude (East-West)
- The linear effect of longitude on skin cancer mortality was not significant.
- The failure to reject the null hypothesis indicates longitude is unrelated to skin cancer mortality.
Interpretation: Regression of Skin Cancer Mortality on Coastal Indicator
- There is a statistically significant difference in skin cancer mortality rate between coastal and non-coastal states.
- Mortality rates tend to be higher for coastal states.
- Coastal states exhibit a notably higher predicted mortality rate than non-coastal states (at the same latitude).
Multiple Linear Regression Model Assumptions
- Independence: Each data point in the data set must be independent from each other.
- Homoscedasticity: The variance of the residuals should be constant across all values of the predictors.
- Normality: The residuals should be normally distributed.
Inference: Multiple Linear Regression
- The testing of the impact of latitude and longitude on skin cancer mortality
- Results of tests on the impact of coastal variables on skin cancer mortality
- Statistical methods used to confirm inferences from the analyses
Motivation for Multiple Linear Regression
- Demonstrate how multiple linear regression is used to analyze relationships in real-world data
- Illustrative examples of how multiple linear regression can be used to model relationships between skin cancer mortality, latitude, longitude, and ocean status
- Show how controlling for other variables leads to a refined understanding of the relationship in question
