Regression

        Help!  

Question
Answer
One of the assumptions in regression analysis is that   the errors have a mean of 0  
🗑
a graph of the sample points that will be used to develop a regression line is called   a scatter diagram  
🗑
when using regression, an error is also called   a residual  
🗑
in a regression model, Y is called   the dependent variable  
🗑
a quantity that provides a measure of how far each sample point is from the regression line is   the SSE  
🗑
the percentage of the variation in the dependent variable that is explained by a regression equation is measured by   the coefficient of determination  
🗑
In a regression model, if every sample point is on the regression line (all errors are 0), then   correlation coefficient would be -1 or 1  
🗑
when using dummy variables in a regression equation to model a qualitative or categorical variable, the number of dummy variables should equal   1 less than the number of categories  
🗑
a multiple regression model differs from a simple linear regression model because the multiple regression model has more than one   independent variable  
🗑
the overall significance of a regression model is tested using an F test. The model is significant if   the significance level of the F value is low  
🗑
A new variable should not be added to a multiple regression model if that variable causes   the adjusted R squared to decrease  
🗑
a good regression model should have   a low R squared and a low significance level for the F test  
🗑
The model that allows us to compare several populations   ANOVA tables  
🗑
If the computed F is greater than the critical F   there is significant difference  
🗑
If the computed F is smaller than the critical F   there is not significant difference  
🗑
Residual is a synonym for   error  
🗑
Df1   Treatments/Regression  
🗑
Df2   Residual/Error  
🗑
Correlation Coefficient   The strength of a relationship between two variables; R; always between 0-1; can have a positive or an inverse relationship  
🗑
Coefficient of determination   shows what percentage of correlation the independent variable has on the dependent variable; R squared; always positive and always between 0-1  
🗑
Regression is a synonym for   treatments  
🗑
Variables tend to be   WXYZ  
🗑
Constants tend to be   ABCD  
🗑
regression   is all about forecasting based on past data  
🗑
B   slope (^Y/^X)  
🗑
line of best fit   minimizes distance between points - regression equation describes this  
🗑
y intercept   is equal to the A value  
🗑
if X=O   Y=A  
🗑
no matter what, there will always be associated   error, because the line of best fit isn't exact  
🗑
N   # of observations  
🗑
K   total number of variables  
🗑
innocently assumed as   not correlated  
🗑
null hypothesis   innocently assumed as not correlated  
🗑
The tested hypothesis   differences exist  
🗑
Coefficient of non-determination   1-Rsquared;  
🗑
to lower error   the only thing you can do is enlarge the sample size  
🗑
computed t shows that the   variable is significant  
🗑
computed F shows that the   model is significant  
🗑
what is the meaning of least squares in a regression model   that the regression line will minimize the sum of the squared errors. no other line will give a lower sse  
🗑
What is the SSE   Sum of Squares Error; the total sum of the squared differences between each observation and the predicted value  
🗑
What is the SSR   Sum of squares regression; the total sum of the squared differences between each predicted value and the mean  
🗑
What is the SST   Sum of Squares Total; the total sum of the squared differences between each observation and the mean  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
