Linear Regression

What if…We believe that an important relation
between two measures exists?For example, we ask 5 people about
their salary and education levelFor each observation we have two
measures, and those two measures came from the same person

What would we “predict”? Does more education mean more salary? Does more salary mean more education? Does more education mean less salary? Does more salary mean less education? Are salary and education related?

RegressionDescriptive vs. Inferential Bivariate data - measurements on two
variables for each observation– Heights (X) and weights (Y)– IQ (X) and SAT(Y) scores – Years of educ. (X) and Annual salary (Y)– Number of Policemen (X) and Number of
crimes (Y) in US cities

Regression How are the two
sets of scores related?
Using a scatterplot we can “look” at the relationship
Constructed by plotting each of the bivariate observations (X, Y)

Regression Which one’s X and
which one’s Y? That’s up to you, but… Generally, the X
variable is thought of as the “predictor” variable
We try to predict a Y score given an X score

Regression If the scores seem
to “line up,” we call this a “linear relationship”

Measuring Linear RelationshipsThe first measure of a linear
relationship (not in the book) is COVARIANCE (sXY)
![Page 13: Chapter 20](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f6c550346895dce714f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Or
SPXY is known as the “Sum of Products” or the sum of the products of the deviations of X and Y from their means

Easy Calculation
![Page 15: Chapter 20](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f6c550346895dce714f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Covariance Interpretation:
– positive = positive linear relationship– negative = negative linear relationship– zero = no relationship
Magnitude (strength of the relationship)?– Uninterpretable– for example, a large covariance does not
necessarily mean strong relationship
![Page 16: Chapter 20](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f6c550346895dce714f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But, we can use covariance Which line best fits our
data? Do we just draw one
that looks good? No, we can use
something called “least squares regression” to find the equation of the best-fit line (“Best-fit linear regression”)

Finding the y-intercept (b)After finding the slope (m), find b using:

Least Squares Criterion
The best line has the property of least squares
The sum of the squared deviations of the points from the line are a minimum

What’s the “least” again?What are we trying to minimize?
– The best fit line will be described by the function Yi = mXi + b
– Thus, for any Xi, we can estimate a corresponding Yi value
– Problem: for some Xi’s we already have Yi’s
– So, let’s call the estimated value (“Y-sub-I-hat”), to differentiate it from the “real” Yi
![Page 23: Chapter 20](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f6c550346895dce714f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Least Squares Criterion For example, when
Xi = 15we would estimate that = 44,000
But, we have a “real” Yi value corresponding to Xi =15 (35,000)

Minimize this… For every Xi, we have the a value Yi, and an
estimate of Yi ( ) Consider the quantity:
– Which is the deviation of the real score from the estimated score, for any give Xi value
The sum of these deviations will be zero
![Page 25: Chapter 20](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f6c550346895dce714f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• But, by squaring those deviations and summing,
• We want the line that makes the above quantity the minimum (the least squares criterion)
• This is also called the sums of squares error or SSE (how much do our estimates “err” from our real values?)

How accurate are our Estimates?Two ways to measure how “good” our
estimates are:– Standard Error of the Estimate– Coefficient of Determination (not covered
in our book, yet)
![Page 27: Chapter 20](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56815f6c550346895dce714f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Standard Error of the Estimate
but, this term is very hard to interpret. (Hurrah, there are better ways to measure the goodness of the fit!)
