The document provides an overview of regression models and analysis. It discusses key concepts like correlation coefficients, coefficients of determination, regression equations, assumptions of regression models, and multiple regression analysis. It also provides an example using data on population on farms from 1935 to 1970 to illustrate concepts like calculating correlation, determining the regression equation, and testing for significance. Additional topics covered include dummy variables, model building, and potential pitfalls in regression analysis.
4. Correlation Coefficient (r)
It is a measure of strength of the linear
relationship between two variables and is
calculated using the following formula:
5. Interpretation
After calculating we find r = -0.993
There is a strong negative correlation.
6. Coefficient of Determination
Squaring the correlation coefficient (r) gives us
the percent variation in the y-variable that is
described by the variation in the x-variable
To relate x and y, the Regression Equation is
calculated using Least Squares technique.
Regression Equation: Y’ = a +bX
Slope of the regression line:
7. To continue with the example
We found r = -0.993. By squaring we get the
Coefficient of Determination (R^2) = 0.987

8. Interpretation
We conclude that 98.7% of the decrease in
farm population can be explained by timeline
progression.
Theoretically, population is a dependent
variable (y-axis) and timeline is an independent
variable (x-axis).
9. Assumptions of the Regression Model
The following assumptions are made about the
errors:
a) The errors are independent
b) The errors are normally distributed
c) The errors have a mean of zero
d) The errors have a constant variance(regardless
of the value of X)
11. Estimating the Variance
The error variance is measured by the MSE
s2 = MSE= SSE
n-k-1
where n = number of observations in the sample
k = number of independent variables
Therefore the standard deviation will be
s = sqrt (MSE)
12. Multiple regression Analysis
More than one independent variable
Y=β0+β1X1+β2X2+……+βkXk+ϵ
Where,
Y=dependent variable(response variable)
Xi=ith independent variable(predictor variable or explanatory
variable)
β0= intercept(value of Y when all Xi = 0)
βi= coefficient of the ith independent variable
k= number of independent variables
ϵ= random error
To estimate the values of these coefficients, a sample is taken and the
following equation is developed :
Ῡ= b0+b1X1+b2X2+…….+bkXk
where,
Ῡ= predicted value of Y
b0= sample intercept (and is an estimate of
β0)
bi= sample coefficient of ith variable(and is an
estimate of βi)
13. Testing the Model for Significance
• MSE and co-efficient of determination (r2) does not
provide a good measure of accuracy when the
sample size is small
• In this case, it is necessary to test the model for
significance
• Linear Model is given by,
Y=β0 + β1X + ε
Null Hypothesis :If β1 = 0, then there is no linear relationship
between X and Y
Alternate Hypothesis : If β1 ≠ 0, then there is a linear relationship
14. Steps in Hypothesis Test for a Significant
Regression Model
1. Specify null and alternative hypothesis.
2. Select the level of significance (α). Common
values are between 0.01 and 0.05
3. Calculate the value of the test statistic using the
formula:
F = MSE/MSE
4. Make a decision using one of the following
methods:
a) Reject if Fcalculated > Ftable
b) Reject if p-value < α
15. Triple A Construction Example
Step 1:
H0 :β1 = 0, (no linear relationship between X and Y)
H1 :β1 ≠ 0, (linear relationship between X and Y)
Step 2
Select α = 0.05
16. Triple A Construction Example
Step 3: Calculate the value of the test statistic
MSR = SSR/k
= 15.6250/1
= 15.6250
F = MSR/MSE
= 15.6250/1.7188
= 9.09
17. Triple A Construction Example
Step 4: Reject the null hypothesis if the test statistic
is greater than the F value from the table.
To find table value, we need :
Level of Significance (α) = 0.05
df1 = k = 1
df2 = n – k – 1 = 4
where k = number of independent variables
n = sample size
Using these values, we find
Ftable = 7.71
Hence, we reject H0 because 9.09 > 7.71

21. Model Building
The value of r2 can never decrease when more
variables are added to the model
Adjusted r2 often used to determine if an additional
independent variable is beneficial
The adjusted r2 is
A variable should not be added to the model if it
causes the adjusted r2 to decrease
22. Multiple Regression
Sales/Decision to buy = B0+ B1* Price
Sales/Decision to buy = B0+ B1* (Price)3+
B2*(Design)2+B3*(Performance)
L = (Price)3
M = (Design)2
N = (Performance)
Sales/Decision to buy = B0+ B1* L+ B2* M+ B3* N
23. Pitfalls In Regression
A High Correlation does not mean one variable is causing a
change in another (Some regressions have shown a
significantly positive relation between individuals' college
GPA and future salary. )
Values of the dependent variable should not be used that
are above or below the ones from the sample
The number of independent variables that should be used
in the model is limited by the number of observations.
Notes de l'éditeur
We take an example of farm population in USA, which has been declining over a period of 30 years. We take Year as the independent variable and Population as dependent variable. We explain the correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination through this example.
