What are Scatter Plots?

- are two-dimensional graphs produced by plotting one continuous variable against another continuous variable within a set of coordinate axes, and they describe the relationship between the two variables. - A linear relationship can be inferred when the general shape of a scatter plot is a straight line.

R^2 is bounded between:

0 and 1

You want R^2 to be close to________ because this indicates that the model is a relatively good fit to the data.

1

Logistic Regression equation explanation:

1. No error term in this equation 2. The Betas here are calculated from maximum likelihood estimation

how to make a decision if there are associations or not?

1. Null hypothesis : That there is NOT an association between variables. 2. Alternative hypothesis: That there IS an association between variables. 3. DF=(number of rows-1)*(number of columns-1)

When you perform a regression analysis, several assumptions must be met to provide valid tests of hypotheses and confidence intervals:

1. The linear model fits the data adequately. a. For example, in simple linear regression, the mean of the response variable is linearly related to the value of the predictor variable. To make sure that a linear relationship exists, you can create a scatter plot of the response, Y, versus the predictor, X. 2. Errors are normally distributed with mean 0. 3. Errors have an equal variance at each value of the predictor variable. 4. Errors are independent.

For the Logistic Regression model, log means natural log rather than log with a base

_____________________________________ of the response variable are common remedies to the departure from equal variances.

Natural log and square root transformations

What is Information criteria?

Other selection criteria that you can use to select variables for a model, as well as evaluate competing models.

randomly scattered

When you compare information criterion values, the model with the ___________ information criterion is considered better.

smaller

Selection Method Stepwise:

1. Combines aspects of both forward and backward selection. 2. It starts with no predictor variables in the model and incrementally builds a model one variable at a time, as in forward selection. 3. However, as in backward selection, stepwise selection can drop non-significant variables. 4. The stepwise selection process terminates if no further variables can be added to or removed from the model, or when the variable to be added to the model is the one just deleted from it. 5. The default p-value to enter and stay in the model are both 0.15. The p-values can be changed based on the research goal or subject-matter expertise.

What is Coefficient of determination, R squared?

What is the Response Variable?

- (Y) The outcome, target, or dependent variable - The variable you seek to predict

What is Empirical Rule?

- 68% of the normal distribution lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean; 99% lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean - Anything past 3 standard deviations away is considered an outlier

What is One-Sample t-test?

- A one-sample t-test compares the mean calculated from a sample to a hypothesized mean. - !!!!!!(Know how to calculate this like homework 1)!! - t=(x ̅-μ_0)/(s⁄√n)

What is Overfitting?

- Adding too many variables in a model - Leads to models that have higher variance when they are applied to a population.

What is Type 1 Error?

- If you reject the null hypothesis when it's actually true, you've made this type of an error. - The probability of committing a this type of error is ∝. - ∝ is the significance level of the hypothesis test

What are Confidence Intervals for the mean?

Which automated model selection method is best?

- There's no one method that's best, just as there's no one model that's perfect. - All models are approximations that are based on a sample from the population of interest. - These model selection approaches provide suggestions for a useful approximating model.

What is Type II Error?

- This type of error, often referred to as β, is when you fail to reject the null hypothesis and it's actually false.

What is the Null Hypothesis?

- Usually one of equality - What you know to be true

What is the Alternative Hypothesis?

1. Akaike's information criterion (AIC) 2. Corrected Akaike's information criterion (AICC) a. Should be used in preference to AIC when you work with small sample sizes or relatively few observations per estimated parameter 3. Sawa Bayesian information criterion (BIC) 4. And Schwarz Bayesian information criterion (SBC)

Selection Method Backward:

1. Also called backward elimination 2. Starts with all predictor variables in the model. 3. Results of the F test for individual parameter estimate are examined, and the least significant variable that is above the specified significance level is removed. 4. After a variable is removed from the model, it remains excluded and cannot reenter. 5. Backward selection is repeated until no other variable in the model meets the specified significance level for removal, 0.10 by default.

What is ANOVA?

1. Analysis of Variance 2. If you have a response variable that's continuous and all of your predictor variables are categorical, use this method

With Two-way ANOVA Treatments, or treatment groups:

1. Formed by combining the two factors. 2. If the first factor has three levels, and the second factor has four levels, then there are 12 treatment groups.

With Two-way ANOVA, Interaction effects are:

1. Occur when the relationship between the response and a predictor changes according to another predictor in the model. 2. This possible interaction means that the effect of one factor depends on the value of the other factor.

Selection Method Forward:

1. Starts with no predictor variables in the model. 2. Computes an F statistic for each predictor variable not in the model, and examines the largest of these statistics. 3. If it's significant at a specified significance level, the corresponding variable is added to the model. 4. After a variable is added to the model, it stays in, even if it becomes non-significant later. 5. Forward selection keeps adding variables, one at a time, until none of the remaining variables meets the specified level for entry, 0.05 by default.

What is K-fold Validation?

1. You train and assess the model on k total different partitions of the data for the same model. 2. The results from each holdout set can then be averaged to interpret how well the model generalizes to new data.

For outliers:

Anything beyond -2 or +2 is considered unusual, and anything beyond -3 or +3 is considered VERY unusual.

Why would you not always use 99.9% confidence so that any confidence interval you calculate contains the true value of the population mean?

As you increase the confidence level, the width of the interval increases, making it less informative.

What is ONE way of determining whether there are significant differences among the group means?

This is accomplished by partitioning the Total Variation in the response variable (as measured by the corrected total sum of squares) into two components: a. The Between Group Variation (displayed in the ANOVA table as the Model Sum of Squares) b. The Within Group Variation (displayed as the Error Sum of Squares)

How to interpret Pearson Correlation?

To define the correlation that we observe in our scatter plot, we use correlation statistics, which measure the degree, or strength, of linear association between two variables.

(Sum of Squares) Total Sum of Squares=

Total Variation - The overall variability in the response variable. It's calculated as the sum of the squared differences between each observed value and the overall mean.

What is General Linear Model?

Use when your response variable is continuous, you have continuous predictors and you can assume a normal distribution of errors, use a general linear model or more specifically an ordinary least squares regression

Because collinearity involving several predictors can be missed by correlations, we need additional tools for collinearity detection such as ______________________

Variance Inflation Factors.

A cone shape within a residual plot means that:

Variance of the residuals is not constant

Collinearity doesn't violate regression assumptions. Why is it a problem?

When multiple variables try to explain the same variation in the response, it leads to inflated standard errors and instability in the regression model.

(Sum of Squares) Error Sum of Squares=

Within Group Variation - The variability not explained by the model. It's also referred to as within treatment variability or residual sum of squares. Therefore, it measures the random variability within groups. It's calculated as the sum of the squared differences between each observed value and the mean for its group.

If the response variable has only two levels, you can't assume the constant variance and normality that are required for linear regression.

The calculations of all information criteria begin the same way:

a. They all start with n (the sample size) times the natural log of the sum of squared errors divided by n. b. Then, each criterion adds a penalty that represents the complexity of the model. c. The magnitude of the penalty is what differentiates each type of information criterion.
