regression analysis

Ans: To study the relationship between X and Y we perform



Regression:

Ans: the statistical or mathematical relationship between the independent
variable (X) and a dependent variable (Y) while considering certain
constants or parameters



dependent varible

Ans: The quantity being estimated through regression is called the



independent variable

Ans: is measured in order to predict the dependent variable



scatter diagrams

Ans: One way to examine the x and y relationship is through



Once the X,Y points are plotted, the diagram can be analyzed to see

if a ------ forms.

Ans: pattern

,The simplest relationship is called a ---- ---- ---- which is also called a

straight line relationship

Ans: simple linear regression



There is an assumption, for each -- value a distribution for the -- values

will occur with each observation of i, at observation -- there will be an

observation at --

Ans: X, Y ..... Yi, Xi



linear model equation

Ans: Y^=A + BX



prediction equation

Ans: an equation suggested by the points of a scatter plot that is used to
predict other points



is a way for us to get the estimates needed, in other words values for a

and b

Ans: least squares



So what do we need for least squares?

Ans: 1. Estimates of A and B by using a and b
2. We use the estimates of a and b in the prediction equation Y^= a + bX

, 3. Get estimates of a and b variances 4. Test hypothesis 5. Set confidence
intervals 6. And on occasion, estimate Y for a given value of X



Least Squares allows us to get the best

Ans: unbiased estimates



So for every observed Yi there is a predicted value of --, equal to (a +

bXi ) which corresponds to a location on the regression line

Ans: Y^i



(yi-y^i)

Ans: is the deviation of the observed Y from the predicted Y^



sum(Yi-Y^)2

Ans: The sum of squares of all the deviations form the fitted line :



Since we know Y^ = a + bX, we can substitute for Y^ in the formula to

get:

Ans: sum(Yi - a - bXi ) 2



When a and b have been found their numerical values (using the

previous two formulas and the data) for the two estimators a and b

can be substituted into the
