| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are allowed variable types for a regression (2) | 1, outcome/ DV must be continous 2, predictors/IV can be either continous or categorical |
| What are 7 Regression assumptions | 1, non-zero variance 2,additivity and linearity 3, independence of observation 4,no milticollinearity 5,independence of errors 6,homoscedasticity 7,normality of errors |
| What is non-zero variance | the variable must not be constant (not only males in a sample when gender is a predictor) |
| What is multicollinearity | when there is a strong correlation between two or more predictors in a regression model (like male 0,1 and female 0,1) |
| What are 3 methods to detect multicollinearity and its "rules of thumb" | 1, correlation matrix inspection >> r>.7 indication and .8 problematic 2, variance inflation factor >> over 5 indication over 10 problematic 3, tolerance of VIF >>> over .2 indicator over .1 problematic |
| How does Variance Inflation Factor and Tolerance work | VIF = 1 / 1-R^2(of other factors) Tolerance = 1 / VIF |
| How to test autocorrelation (error correlation with each other) (2) | 1, with Durbin-Watson test 2, result of Durbin-Watson test should be between 1-3 |
| What is positive and negative autocorrelation | positive autocorrelation = one value high , next is also high or one is low and another is low negative autocorrelation = positive error then negative error and again repeativily |
| What does autocorrelation indicates | there is something in the model we are missing |
| What is homoscedasticity violation (2) | 1, heteroscedasticity > higher values have higher variation 2, there is no standart test on that only visualy in residuals we see a triangle like shape |
| What is homogeneity of variance | when we are comparing MULTIPLE SAMPLES their VARIANCES SHOULD BE SIMILAR |
| What is difference between Factorial ANOVA and One-Way ANOVA | Factorial ANOVA = multiple IV (diet + training > weight loss) One-Way ANOVA = one IV ( diet > weight loss) |
| What are interaction effects | change in effect (direction or strengt) of a predictor if another predictor changes |
| What is mean centering when observing interaction in regression (2) | 1, some variable "cannot" be interpreted when being =0 so we set its average value as default point (average=0) 2, +10 mean average +10 and -10 mean average -10 |
| How to check if adding interaction is meaninfull for the model (2) | 1, checking whenever R^2 increases 2, is the new interaction term statistically significant |
| What is 1, spotlight analysis 2,floodlight analysis | 1, spotlight analysis = splitting the graph into multiple lines of X effect acording to the different M values 2,floodlight analysis = showing the function as whole with different condition (like X*M when M <50 and X*M when M > 50 |
| What are 3 possible predictors in interaction analysis | 1, continous * continous 2, continous * dichotomous 3,dichotomous * dichotomous |
| What are covariates in the regression analysis (2) | 1, also called control variables 2, covariates remove noise from other variables |
| What is standartized beta | β(standartized) = β(unstandartized) * (SDx/SDy) where β is coeffitient of x |
