Study Notes
Simple Linear Regression and Correlation
- Simple linear regression builds a mathematical model to describe the linear association between a single independent variable (predictor) and a dependent variable (response).
- Correlation quantifies the strength and direction of this linear relationship.
- Engineers use these techniques to analyze data, identify trends, and make informed decisions.
Empirical Models
- Empirical models are built on the foundation of observation rather than established theories.
- They identify patterns and relationships within data, allowing researchers to make predictions about future events.
- Examples of empirical models include:
- Size of house vs. energy consumption
- Weight of vehicle vs. fuel usage
- Age of concrete vs. comprehensive strength of concrete
Regression Analysis
- Regression analysis is used to explore relationships between variables that are related in a non-deterministic manner.
- It builds a model to predict the response variable based on changes in the predictor variable.
- Example: predicting yield of a product based on process-operating temperature in a chemical process.
Simple Linear Regression Model
- The model assumes that the mean of the response variable Y is related to the predictor variable x by a straight-line relationship:
- 𝐸(𝑥) = µ𝑌|𝑥 = β0 + β1𝑥
- The slope (β1) and intercept (β0) of the line are called regression coefficients.
- The actual observed value Y does not fall exactly on a straight line, and is generalized to a probabilistic linear model:
- 𝑌 = β0 + β1𝑥 + ∈
- The random error term ∈ has a mean of 0 and a variance of σ².
