Short recap
Positive residual: Actual value is higher than the predicted value.
Negative residual: Actual value is lower than the predicted value.
R2 tells something about the model fit. When the value of R2 is high, then
the model fits good. Adjusted R2 is adjusted to the sample size. The
adjusted R2 would be lower than the R2.
Mediation
Mediator: Variable that explains the mechanism or process through which
X (independent variable) influences Y (dependent
variable).
- Indirect effect: Effect of X on M and M on
Y = ab
- Direct effect: Effect of X on Y = c’
- Total effect: c= c’ + ab
