(a) Correlation coefficient is the geometric mean between the regression coefficients. (b) If one of the regression coefficients is greater than unity, the other must be less than unity. (c) Arithmetic mean of the regression coefficients is greater than the correlation coefficient r, provided r > 0. (d) Regression coefficients are independent of the changes of origin but not of scale.
ControlThe answer will depend on the nature of the effect. IFseveral requirements are met (the effect is linear, the "errors" are independent and have the same variance across the set of values that the independent variable can take (homoscedasticity) then, and only then, a linear regression is a standard. All to often people use regression when the data do not warrant its use.
yes.
Ideally a mapping, or a scatter plot. Not a function because it should not map one value to many (eg square root). Not the regression coefficient since for an even function it would be 0.
Yes.
The multiple regression statistical method examines the relationship of one dependent variable (usually represented by 'Y') and one independent variable (represented by 'X').
True.
Simple regression is used when there is one independent variable. With more independent variables, multiple regression is required.
Correlation is a measure of association between two variables and the variables are not designated as dependent or independent. Simple regression is used to examine the relationship between one dependent and one independent variable. It goes beyond correlation by adding prediction capabilities.
There are many possible reasons. Here are some of the more common ones: The underlying relationship is not be linear. The regression has very poor predictive power (coefficient of regression close to zero). The errors are not independent, identical, normally distributed. Outliers distorting regression. Calculation error.
multivariate regression
In statistics, regression analysis is a statistical process for estimating the relationships among variables. It includes many techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables, when the focus is on the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
Regression :The average Linear or Non linear relationship between Variables.
The assumptions of cox regression are a constant relationship and the proportional hazards assumptions.
To see if there is a linear relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The relationship may not be linear but of a higher degree polynomial, exponential, logarithmic etc. In that case the variable(s) may need to be transformed before carrying out a regression. It is also important to check that the data are homoscedastic, that is to say, the error (variance) remains the same across the values that the independent variable takes. If not, a transformation may be appropriate before starting a simple linear regression.
You may get more ideas from wikipedia under regression analysis. You can do a regression analysis with as little as 2 x,y points- but is it meaningful? Requirements for valid or meaningful relationships can be subjective. However, in my opinion, if meaningful relationships are to be created using regression analysis, the following are important: a) The independent variable should have values that are independent (no relation exists between them). b) There should be a good rational or experimental basis for identifying the independent variables and the resultant dependent variable. c) Sufficient data should be collected in a controlled environment to identify the relationship. d) The validity of the relationship should easy to identify both visually and by numbers (see "goodness of fit" tests).
I want to develop a regression model for predicting YardsAllowed as a function of Takeaways, and I need to explain the statistical signifance of the model.
