QuestionAnswer
b-values Unknown quantities in multiple regression. Tell us about the relationship between the outcome and each predictor. What degree each predictor affects the outcome if the effects of all other predictors are constant.
t statistic Measure of whether the predictor is making a significant contribution to the model. If the t test associated with a b value is significant (less than .05) then the predictor is making a significant contribution.
Beta - B Tells the number of standard deviations that the outcome will change as a result of one standard deviation change in the predictor. Provides a better insight into the importance of a predictor in the model.
VIF Assumption of no multicollinarity. Value less than 10 - no cause for concern. Average of VIF is substantially greater than 1 - regression may be biased.
R2 in Multiple Regression Measure of how much of the variability in the outcome is accounted for by the predictors. Useful measure of the substantive importance of an effect.
Skewness Lack of symmetry.
Kurtosis Pointyness.
Positively Skewed Frequent scores are clustered at the lower end and the tail points toward higher or positive positions.
Negatively Skewed Frequent scores are clustered at the higher end and the tail points toward lower more negative scores.
Positive Values of Skewness Pile up of scores on the left.
Negative Values of Skewness Pile up of scores on the right.
Platykurtic Distribution Many scores in the tails "Heavy Tailed" and is quite flat. Flat like a PLATEAU.
Leptokurtic Distribution Thin in tails and look pointy. LEAPT up in the air.
r - Pearson Correlation Value lies between -1 and 1. Standardized measure commonly used to measure the size of an effect.
r - +/- .1 Small Effect
r - +/- .3 Medium Effect
r - +/- .5 Large Effect
r = +1 2 variables are perfectly positively correlated.
r = -1 2 variables are perfectly negatively correlated.
Multiple Regression Seeks to predict an outcome from several predictors.
Adjusted R2 Measure of how well a model generalizes. Like the values to be close to R2.
Durbin-Watson Measures whether the assumption of independent errors is tenable. The closer to 2 the better. Less than 1 or greater than 3 = ALARM.
ANOVA Table for Regression Tests whether the model is significantly better at predicting the outcome than using the means as a "best guess." Look for values less than .05.
VIF Variance Inflation Factor - indicates whether a predictor has a strong linear relationship with the the other predictors. Value of 10 is worrisome (Myers, 1990) and if average is greater than 1, multicollinearity may be biasing the model.
Multcollinearity Exists when there is a strong correlation between 2 or more predictors in a regression model. This increases the probability that a good predictor of the outcome will be found non-significant and rejected from the model (a type II error).
Type I Error Saying something is when it is not.
Type II Error Saying something is not when it is.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
