"Interpretation of linear regression beta coefficients in simple linear regression "

"Info: ""Put simply, beta coefficients allow you to """"compare the relative importance of each coefficient in a regression model"""" (1) Beta-0: This is the constant that represents the expected value of your dependent (Y) variable when your independent (X) variable is equal to 0. Oftentimes, it can give you a good idea of the starting point in your model. That is, when there is no variation in your independent variable, you typically can expect your depenent variable to equal your beta-0 coefficient. However, there can be times where that doesn't make sense, though, (e.g., if you run a regression model on age (X) and height (Y), you might end up with a negative beta-0. That doesn't mean that newborn babies are a negative number of inches) so you need to be cautious when evaluating your beta-0 and make sure that it makes sense if you plan to use it to explain phenomena. Beta-1: This coefficient represents the direction of the relationship (i.e., is the indenpendent variable (X) associated with an increase or decrease in the value of the dependent variable (Y)?). You can evaluate this by multiplying the unit increase of X by the Beta-1, and add that to your Beta-0 to the produce to understand the extent to which changes in your X variable is associated with changes in your Y variable. Be sure to evaluate the p-value of your beta-1 to see if the relationship between your two beta coefficients can be considered statistically significant.

"

Assumptions for Multiple Linear Regression

"Info: As a predictive analysis, the multiple linear regression is used to explain the relationship between one continuous dependent variable and two or more independent variables. The independent variables can be continuous or categorical (dummy coded as appropriate). Assumptions: Regression residuals must be normally distributed. A linear relationship is assumed between the dependent variable and the independent variables. The residuals are homoscedastic and approximately rectangular-shaped. Absence of multicollinearity is assumed in the model, meaning that the independent variables are not too highly correlated. "

What does BLUE stand for?

"Info: Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) The Gaussâ€"Markov theorem states that in a linear regression model in which the errors have expectation zero, are uncorrelated and have equal variances, the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of the coefficients is given by the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator, provided it exists. Here ""best"" means giving the lowest variance of the estimate, as compared to other unbiased, linear estimators. "

What is the tidy() function in the "broom" package used for in R?

Requirements for matrix sizes necessary to do matrix multiplication

"Info: Let B be an m × p matrix and A a q × n matrix. Then, the product BA is defined if (and only if) p = q. "

Linear Regression

"Info: Linear regression attempts to model the relationship between two variables by fitting a linear equation to observed data. One variable is considered to be an explanatory variable, and the other is considered to be a dependent variable. For example, a modeler might want to relate the weights of individuals to their heights using a linear regression model. Before attempting to fit a linear model to observed data, a modeler should first determine whether or not there is a relationship between the variables of interest. This does not necessarily imply that one variable causes the other (for example, higher SAT scores do not cause higher college grades), but that there is some significant association between the two variables. A valuable numerical measure of association between two variables is the correlation coefficient, which is a value between -1 and 1 indicating the strength of the association of the observed data for the two variables. A linear regression line has an equation of the form Y = a + bX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the dependent variable. The slope of the line is b, and a is the intercept (the value of y when x = 0). Notes: http://www.stat.yale.edu/Courses/1997-98/101/linreg.htm"

Multicollinearity

"Info: Multicollinearity generally occurs when there are high correlations between two or more predictor variables. In other words, one predictor variable can be used to predict the other. This creates redundant information, skewing the results in a regression model. Examples of correlated predictor variables (also called multicollinear predictors) are: a person’s height and weight, age and sales price of a car, or years of education and annual income. An easy way to detect multicollinearity is to calculate correlation coefficients for all pairs of predictor variables. If the correlation coefficient, r, is exactly +1 or -1, this is called perfect multicollinearity. If r is close to or exactly -1 or +1, one of the variables should be removed from the model if at all possible. "

R-squared/Adjusted R-squared

"Info: Overall: R-squared tends to reward you for including too many independent variables in a regression model, and it doesn’t provide any incentive to stop adding more. Adjusted R-squared and predicted R-squared use different approaches to help you fight that impulse to add too many. The protection that adjusted R-squared and predicted R-squared provide is critical because too many terms in a model can produce results that you can’t trust. -R-squared is a statistical measure of how close the data are to the fitted regression line. It is also known as the coefficient of determination, or the coefficient of multiple determination for multiple regression. In general, the higher the R-squared, the better the model fits your data. -The adjusted R-squared is a modified version of R-squared that has been adjusted for the number of predictors in the model. The adjusted R-squared increases only if the new term improves the model more than would be expected by chance. It decreases when a predictor improves the model by less than expected by chance. "

"Interpretation of linear regression beta coefficients in multivariate linear regression "

"Info: Put simply, beta coefficients allow you to ""compare the relative importance of each coefficient in a regression model"" (1) Beta-0: This is the constant that represents the expected value of your dependent variable (Y) when your explanatory (X[sub: 1, 2, etc.]) variables are equal to 0. Oftentimes, it can give you a good idea of the starting point in your model. That is, when there is no variation in your explanatory variables, you typically can expect your dependent variable to equal your beta-0 coefficient. However, there can be times where that doesn't make sense, though, (e.g., if you run a regression model on age (X[sub: 1]), childhood nutrition (X[sub: 2]) and height (Y), you might end up with a negative beta-0. That doesn't mean that newborn babies are a negative number of inches) so you need to be cautious when evaluating your beta-0 and make sure that it makes sense if you plan to use it to explain phenomena. Beta-1, 2, etc.: The rest of your beta coefficients represents the direction of the relationship (i.e., are the explanatory variables (X[sub: 1, 2, etc.]) associated with an increase or decrease in the value of the dependent variable (Y)?). You can evaluate this by multiplying the unit increase of X by the Beta-1, 2, etc., and add the individual products to your Beta-0 separately to understand the extent to which changes in your X variable is associated with changes in your Y variable. Be sure to evaluate the p-values of your beta-1, 2, et.c to see if the relationship between your beta-0 and beta 1, 2, etc., coefficients, respectively, can be considered statistically significant. If you discover an explanatory variable that has a significant relationship to the independent variable, your model accounts of all other possible explanations, and your model satisfies the appropriate conditions, you can say that a 1-unit increase in X is associated with a beta-1 increase in Y, holding all else constant.

What is the basic structure of a residual - fit plot?

"Info: The residuals appear on the y axis and the fitted values appear on the x axis. The characteristics of a well-behaved residual vs. fits plot and what they suggest about the appropriateness of the simple linear regression model: â€" The residuals ""bounce randomly"" around the 0 line. This suggests that the assumption that the relationship is linear is reasonable. â€" The residuals roughly form a ""horizontal band"" around the 0 line. This suggests that the variances of the error terms are equal. â€" No one residual ""stands out"" from the basic random pattern of residuals. This suggests that there are no outliers. "

What is a "tidy" dataset?

"Info: Tidy data is a standard way of mapping the meaning of a dataset to its structure. A dataset is messy or tidy depending on how rows, columns and tables are matched up with observations, variables and types. In tidy data: Each variable forms a column. Each observation forms a row. Each type of observational unit forms a table. Tidy data makes it easy for an analyst or a computer to extract needed variables because it provides a standard way of structuring a dataset. Tidy data is particularly well suited for vectorised programming languages like R, because the layout ensures that values of different variables from the same observation are always paired. "

Interpretation of linear regression beta coefficients in single linear regression

Info: Beta coefficient represents the change in the response variable (delta y) given an increase of 1 in the independent variable. You may want to adjust the scale so that the interpretation is meaningful. The effect of a 1 increase in x may not be as tangible as a 10 increase in x for example. For categorical independent variable coded in binary (0,1), a 1 increase would indicate a shift to the other category.

Matrix Size

Info: By definition a matrix is a rectangular array of numbers. A matrix with "m" number of rows, and "n" number of columns, is said to have a size of m x n (m by n). Note the number of rows is always written first.

Heteroscedasticity

Info: By definition, heteroscedasticity refers to the circumstance in which the variability of a variable is unequal across the range of values of a second variable that predicts it. The scatterplot of these variables often creates a cone-like shape, as the scatter (or variability) of the dependent variable widens or narrows as the value of the independent variable increases. Notes: Further Information can be found at: http://www.statsmakemecry.com/smmctheblog/confusing-stats-terms-explained-heteroscedasticity-heteroske.html

Requirements for matrix sizes necessary for matrix multiplication

Info: Columns of the first matrix have to be the same size as the rows of the second matrix. Performed by multiplying the elements of each row of the first matrix by the elements of each column of the second matrix. Add the products.

What is a "tidy" dataset?

Info: Each variable has its own column, each row has its own observation. Each value has its own cell.

Matrix addition

Info: If two matrices are the same size, then they can be added together. Matrix addition is simple, with the individual elements being added together. For instance, the item in row 1, column 1 in matrix A will be added to row 1, column in matrix B. The matrices being added together must be the same size, and the resulting matrix is the same size as well.

Perfect Multicollinearity

Info: If two or more of the variables are actually linear functions of each other, they are perfectly multicollinear. Thus it is impossible to hold one variable constand with respect to other variables. This will prevent the multiple linear regression model from zeroing out the other variables and thus one of the correlated variables will be dropped from the results in R when the model is run.

BLUE

Info: In estimation problems the minimum variance unbiased estimator (MVUE) for a given statistic is called the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE). Notes: Additional information here: https://nptel.ac.in/courses/117103018/module3/lec9/1.html

What kinds of relationships do interaction terms help us to evaluate?

Info: Interaction terms allow us to evaluate conditional theories (e.g. relationship between X and Y is conditional upon Z, meaning an increase in X is associated with an increase in Y when condition Z is met, but not otherwise).

What kinds of relationships do interaction terms help us evaluate?

Info: Interaction terms are used when the relationship between X and Y is dependent on the existence of a condition Z. Otherwise said, a change in X will result in a change in Y when some Z condition is met.

What is a "tidy" dataset?

Info: It is a consistent way of organizing data in R. Using "tidyverse" is the way to tidy up data. A tidy dataset is the easiest way to use tidyverse. A dataset is tidy when: each variable has its own column, each observation has its own row, each value has its own cell. Each dataset is put into a tibble.

What is a tidy dataset?

Info: It needs the propoer structure. The rows should represent an observation and the column should be a variable

Spring 2019

Info: Matrix Size: By definition a matrix is a rectangular array of numbers. A matrix with "m" number of rows, and "n" number of columns, is said to have a size of m x n (m by n). Note the number of rows is always written first.

Matrix Addition

Info: Matrix addition is the process of adding to matrices together. Essentially, you add the entry of one matrix to the corresponding entry in another matrix. The result will be a matrix of the same dimension of the two that were added (and for matrices to be added, they must be the same size).

Matrix size

Info: Matrix size refers to the size of the matrix in terms of rows and columns in the matrix. It is expressed in terms of n x n, which is rows x columns, said "rows by columns." For example, a matrix with 4 rows and 6 columns would be a 4 x 6 matrix. Matrix size is important in determining whether or not matrices can be added, subtracted, or multiplied together.

Matrix subtraction

Info: Matrix subtraction = subtracting one matrix from another. As long as the dimensions of two matrices are the same, one can be add and subtract them much as one can add and subtract numbers. Subtraction is carried out by subtracting the corresponding elements in the matrices, ie. the elements that are in the same positions.

Matrix Subtraction

Info: Matrix subtraction is the process of subtracting one matrix from another. Essentially, you subtract the entry of one matrix from the corresponding entire in another matrix. The result will be a matrix of the same dimension of the two that were subtracted (and for matrices to be subtracted, they must be the same size).

Matrix Transposition

Info: Matrix transposition essentially flips a matrix diagonally, so that rows become columns and columns become rows. Often denoted as M^T

Defining Multicollinearity

Info: Multicollinearity is a state of very high intercorrelations or inter-associations among independent variables. It is therefore a type of disturbance in the data, and if present in the data, the statistical inferences made about the data may not be reliable. Notes: Additional Information: https://www.statisticssolutions.com/multicollinearity/

Adjusted vs. Regular R-Squared

Info: One major difference between R-squared and the adjusted R-squared is that R-squared assumes that every independent variable in the model explains the variation in the dependent variable while the adjusted R-squared gives the percentage of variation explained by only those independent variables that actually (in reality) affect the dependent variable. Notes: Additional information here: https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/012615/whats-difference-between-rsquared-and-adjusted-rsquared.asp

R-Squared Value

Info: R-Squared value essentially measures how much variance in the dependent variable is accounted for by the model. A small R-Squared would indicate that the model doesn't fully explain the variation in the dependent variable. In short, it is a measure of model-fit.

Difference between r-squared and adjusted r-squared

Info: R-Squared: R2=1-RSS/TSS. R-squared is the value between zero and one that tells you how much of the variation in y that is explained by the model. The adjusted R-squared value controls for number of variables in the model.

Formula used to calculate R-squared

Info: R-squared = 1 â€" (First Sum of Errors / Second Sum of Errors) Notes: Specifically, this linear regression is used to determine how well a line fits’ to a data set of observations, especially when comparing models. Also, it is the fraction of the total variation in y that is captured by a model. Or, how well does a line follow the variations within a set of data.

Formula used to calculate R squared

Info: R-squared = 1 â€" (residual sum of squares / total sum of squares)

What is RSS?

Info: RSS is the residual sum of squares and it is the sum of the squared residuals, with residuals being the deviation of the observed values from the prediction line.

Formula used to calculate R squared

Info: R^2=1-((SSRes)/(SST))=E(y1-^y1)^2/(E(y1-ymean)^2)

Matrix transposition

Info: Rows become columns, columns become rows (but you aren't really just turning the matrix 90 degrees). Entry 1,1 stays 1,1, but 3,4, becomes 4,3 and so on. The diagonal axis (if there is one, so if the matrix is square) remains the same (because for example 3,3 becomes 3,3 so it doesn't move). Useful if you want to multiply things and need different dimensions to do so. (ex. matrix A times matrix A is only possible with square matrixes, but matrix A times A' is always possible) Notes: ' or ^T is used to indicate a transposed matrix.

Requirements for matrix sizes necessary to do matrix multiplication

Info: To multiply matrices, the number of rows in the first matrix must equal the number of columns in the second matrix (a x b * b x c). NOTE: this means that the transitive property of multiplication does _NOT_ hold for matrix multiplication. A * B does not equal B * A . Notes: To multiply matrices, use the dot product (not on the exam).
