Study Notes
Sum of Squares Overview
- SST (Total Sum of Squares) represents the total variability in the dependent variable.
- The formula relating the concepts is: SST = SSR + SSE.
Definitions of Key Components
- SSR (Sum of Squares Due to Regression) quantifies the variation explained by the regression model.
- SSE (Sum of Squares Due to Error) measures the variation not explained by the model, indicating the residual error.
Calculations
-
To calculate SST:
- Use the formula Sum(yi - averagey)², where yi represents each observed value and averagey is the mean of those values.
-
To calculate SSR:
- Use the formula Sum(yhat - averagey)², where yhat is the predicted value from the regression model.
-
To calculate SSE:
- Use the formula Sum(yi - yhat)², measuring the discrepancies between observed values and predicted values.
Coefficient of Determination
- The R² value is defined as SSR/SST, representing the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).
