Purpose of Regression • Fit data to model • Known model based on physics • P* = exp[A - B/(T+C)] Antoine eq. • Assumed correlation • y = a + b*x1+c*x2 • Use model • Interpolate • Extrapolate (use extreme caution) • Identify outliers • Identify trends in data
Linear Regression • There are two classes of regressions • Linear • Non-linear • “Linear” refers to the parameters • Sensitivity coefficients of linear models contain no model parameters.
Issue 1: Nonlinear vs. Linear Regression • Nonlinear model • Linearized model
Linear Regression: Mathcad - Linfit Does the linear regression Redefine the dependent variable Defines the independent variables
Comparison nonlinear linear
Issue 2: How many parameters? Linear regressions with 2, 3,4, and 5 parameters
Statistical Analysis of Regression Straight Line Model as Example
How “Good” is the Fit? • What is the R2 value • Useful statistic, but not definitive • Does tell you how well model fits the data • Does not tell you that the model is correct • Tells you how much of the distribution about the mean is described by the model
How “Good” is the Fit? • Are residuals random
How “Good” is the Fit? • Find Confidence Interval
Confidence Level for Parameters n is number of points, kk is number of independent variables
