Study Notes

Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

An ANOVA table typically contains six columns: Source of Variation, degrees of freedom (df), sums of squares (SS), mean square (MS), the variance ratio or F statistic (F), and the P-value (P).
The estimated variance of the errors (s²e) is given by MSE.
R² can be calculated as the ratio SSR/SST.

Simple Linear Regression Model

The simple linear regression model is defined as Yi = α + βXi + εi, where Yi and Xi are the i-th observations of the variables Y and X, α and β are fixed parameters, and εi is a random variable with a normal distribution.
Assumptions of the model include:
- Xi takes values that are either fixed or random but uncorrelated with the error terms εi.
- The error terms εi are uncorrelated with one another.
- The error terms εi have a mean of zero and a variance of σε², and have a normal distribution.

Regression as Statistical Modelling

Regression is used to test the significance of the overall regression equation, individual coefficients, and develop prediction intervals for forecasts.
The F-test is used to assess the overall significance of the model.
The p-value indicates the probability of obtaining a result at least as extreme as the one observed, assuming that the null hypothesis is true.

Validating Simple Regression Model

The F-test compares a model with no predictors to the specified model with predictors to determine if the overall model is statistically significant.
A low p-value (typically less than 0.05) suggests that the observed result is unlikely to have occurred by chance, indicating statistical significance.
