Study Notes
Simple Linear Regression
- Simple linear regression analyzes the relationship between two continuous variables.
- It fits a straight line through data points.
- The equation for a simple linear regression is y = b0 + b1 * x + ε.
- y is the dependent variable (outcome).
- x is the independent variable (predictor).
- b0 is the intercept (value of y when x = 0).
- b1 is the slope (change in y for a one-unit increase in x).
- ε represents residuals or errors in prediction.
Interactions
- The relationship between one set of variables depends on the level of another variable.
- It involves adding an interaction term that impacts the effect of a variable based on another variable’s level.
- Example: The effect of x1 on y is now (b1 + b3 * x2) -- some number (b1) plus another number (b3) that changes depending on x2.
Inferential Statistics
- Judgment about the parameters of a population.
- Involves quantifying and understanding the variance of a model.
Coefficient of Determination (R²)
- Measures the quality of the model.
- It quantifies the proportion of variance in the outcome variable that’s explained by the predictors.
- R² is calculated as SS(Model)/ SS(Total) = 1 – SS(Residual) / SS(Total).
- A higher R² suggests a better model fit.
Total Sum of Squares (SSTotal)
- Represents the total variability in the outcome variable.
- Calculated as the squared distances between each data point and the mean of the outcome variable.
Residual Sum of Squares (SSResidual)
- Measured as the squared distances between observed and predicted values.
- Represents the variation in the outcome variable not captured by the model.
Model Sum of Squares (SSModel)
- Represents the variation in the outcome variable explained by the predictors.
