Study Notes
Demand and Price of a Commodity
- An increase in price leads to a decrease in demand, and vice versa.
- This is an example of a negative correlation.
Income and Expenditure
- An increase in income often leads to an increase in expenditure, and vice versa.
- This is an example of a positive correlation.
Negative Correlation
- When an increase in one variable causes a decrease in another variable, or vice versa.
- Examples include:
- Supply and Price of a commodity
- Volume and pressure of a perfect gas
No Correlation
- When there is no relationship between two variables, there is no correlation.
Scatter Diagram
- A visual representation of data points showing the relationship between two variables (x and y).
- It helps understand the nature of correlation.
Correlation Coefficient
- Denoted by 'r,' it measures the degree of linear association between two variables.
- Values range from -1 to 1:
- 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation
- -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation
- 0 indicates no correlation
Regression Line
- A line that represents the best fit for the relationship between two variables.
- There are two types:
- Regression line of x on y: predicts x based on y
- Regression line of y on x: predicts y based on x
Properties of Lines of Regression
- The lines intersect at the mean of x ( ̄ ) and the mean of y ( ̄ ).
- The angle between them depends on the correlation coefficient (r):
- When r = 0 (no correlation), the lines are perpendicular.
- When r = 1 or -1 (perfect correlation), the lines coincide.
Multivariate Regression Analysis
- Uses multiple independent variables to predict a dependent variable.
- An extension of simple linear regression.
- The model uses least squares estimation to find the best fit.
Example:
- A company produces two items (A and B).
- Data includes sales of each item and profit for each day.
- The aim is to find a multilinear model that relates sales of A and B to profit using least squares estimation.
