Question
Answer
what are the two purposes of the pearson correlation and regression descriptive aspects: to study the relationship between __ and to predict scores on one variable from scores of __- how are scores __   show
🗑
show predictor (independent), criterion (dependent)  
🗑
the pearson correlation is used to determine the extent to which ..   show
🗑
regression is used to identify the line that best describes this relationship as determined by a statistical criterion known as the   show
🗑
show scatterplot  
🗑
show slope  
🗑
the slope (B)= (state equation)   show
🗑
a relas X increases so does Y and as X decreases so does Y- this shows what relationship   show
🗑
inverse relationship between x and y varialbes is what relationship   show
🗑
show intercept  
🗑
show a  
🗑
show equation, linear, intercepts, slopes  
🗑
linear model equation   show
🗑
show slope, intercept  
🗑
show y, x  
🗑
using the linear equation we can substitute the scores on __ and get the scored predicted on __   show
🗑
the pearson correlation coefficient can range from __ to __ and is represented as _   show
🗑
the sign of the correlation coefficient indicates the __ of linear approximation (+) means __ and (-) means __   show
🗑
correlation coefficient of 0 means that there is   show
🗑
the magnitude of the correlation coefficient is indexed by its   show
🗑
the magnitude indicates the __ to which a __ is approximated   show
🗑
show higher the magnitude  
🗑
we can use the __ of the __ of z scores as an index of the relationship between two variables   show
🗑
the sum of the products of z scores can be influences by __ and __   show
🗑
how do you fix this problem?   show
🗑
show N, scores fall between -1 and +1  
🗑
what is SSx and SSy   show
🗑
show fewer steps, presents fewer opportunities for rounding error  
🗑
show causes, causal relationship  
🗑
show varies  
🗑
in behavioral science research, correlations of __, __ and __ __ are considered significant   show
🗑
show coefficient of determination (r2)  
🗑
the proportion of variability in the dependent variable and cant be explained by and is not associated with the dependent variable   show
🗑
when two variables are not perfectly correlated, the statistical technique of __ can be used to identify a line that fits the data points better than any other line   show
🗑
show least squares criterion  
🗑
the regression line describes the nature of the __ between the two variables   show
🗑
show y=a +bx  
🗑
show b=SCP/SSx  
🗑
intercept regression line equation   show
🗑
the regression line is the line that __ the __ at the value of the   show
🗑
and the slope of this line is scuh that when x increases by one unit,   show
🗑
the slope and the intercept are defined so as to minimize the ___ that the data points are from the regression line   show
🗑
show least squares criterion  
🗑
the least squares criterion concerns itself with the squares of the __ and formally defines the values of the slope and intercept so as to __ the __   show
🗑
the amount of error for a given individual can be represented by the discrepancy between that persons __ and __ _ scores   show
🗑
least squares criterion is limited by the fact that the sum of the discrepancies between the actual y scores and y scores predicted from the regression equation will..   show
🗑
index of predictive error   show
🗑
show standard error of estimate  
🗑
show x and y are interval level measurements, same individuals are measured on both x and y, there is a linear trend between x and y predictions shouldnt be made with scores on x beyond the range measured  
🗑
x and y in Syx are __ measurements   show
🗑
show both x and y  
🗑
show linear  
🗑
predictions shouldnt be made withs cores on __ beyond the range measured   show
🗑
show meaningful  
🗑
the standard error of estimate can be compared with the __ of Y which indicated what the average error in prediction would be if one were to predict a Y score equal to the mean of Y for each individual   show
🗑
show not be sensitive to this  
🗑
if they are related nonlinearly what are effective models   show
🗑
the regression equation for predicting variable x from varialbe y is not the same as the regression equation for predicting variable _ from variable x   show
🗑
example of this   show
🗑
from a statistical perspective, the designation of one variable as X and one varialbe as Y is   show
🗑
show regression  
🗑
if interest is merely in whether a given variable is linearly related to another __ can be applied   show
🗑
from a conceptual perspective the decision of which variable to designate as X and which to designate as Y has   show
🗑
depending on the particular circumstances, the __ of the correlation when a limited portion of this range is considered might be either less than or greater than if the range had not been so restricted   show
🗑
if two variables are linearly related, then restricting the range of one variable will __ the __ of the __   show
🗑
show range of x, regression  
🗑
show range of variables on which the correlation was based  
🗑
show range of variables, calculation  
🗑
when using the regression equation for standard scores.. first __ the x and y scores and then apply the __ to calculate the __ for the regression line based on standard scores   show
🗑
in regression line eq. you dont have to calculate the intercept of the regression line when standard scores are analyzed in this manner because it will always   show
🗑
the slope of the regression line in this instance will always equal the   show
🗑
show standard scores, equal  
🗑
show outliers  
🗑
show turn weak correlation into strong or strong correlation into weak  
🗑
how strong a relationship is determined through   show
🗑
correlation coeff R (2)   show
🗑
show slope of regression line should be 0 when no linear relationship  
🗑
show b or r  
🗑
coef of determination indicates proportion of __ in _ explained or predicted by _   show
🗑
