Chapter Eight Linear Regression
Linear Regression Linear regression is a statistical procedure that uses relationships to predict unknown Y scores based on the X scores from a correlated variable. Chapter 8 - 2
Linear Regression Line The linear regression line is the straight line that summarizes the linear relationship in the scatterplot by, on average, passing through the center of the Y scores at each X. Chapter 8 - 3
The symbol stands for a predicted Y score Each is our best prediction of the Y score at a corresponding X, based on the linear relationship that is summarized by the regression line Predicted Y Scores Chapter 8 - 4
Slope and Intercept The slope is a number that indicates how slanted the regression line is and the direction in which it slants The Y intercept is the value of Y at the point where the regression line intercepts, or crosses, the Y axis (that is, when X equals 0) Chapter 8 - 5
Regression Lines Having Different Slopes and Y Intercepts Chapter 8 - 6
The Linear Regression Equation The linear regression equation indicates the predicted Y values are equal to the slope (b) times a given X value and this product then is added to the Y intercept (a) Chapter 8 - 7
Computing the Slope The formula for the slope (b) is Since we usually first compute r, the values of the elements of this formula already are known Chapter 8 - 8
Computing the Y-Intercept The formula for the Y-intercept (a) is Chapter 8 - 9
Summary of Computations for the Linear Regression Equation Chapter 8 - 10
Describing Errors in Prediction Chapter 8 - 11
The variance of the Y scores around is the average squared difference between the actual Y scores and their corresponding predicted scores The formula for defining the variance of the Y scores around is The Variance of Y Scores Around Chapter 8 - 12
The standard error of the estimate is the clearest way to describe the “average” error when using to predict Y scores. The Standard Error of the Estimate Chapter 8 - 13
Interpreting the Standard Error of the Estimate Chapter 8 - 14
Assumption 1 of Linear Regression The first assumption of linear regression is that the data are homoscedastic Chapter 8 - 15
Homoscedasticity Homoscedasticity occurs when the Y scores are spread out to the same degree at every X Chapter 8 - 16
Heteroscedasticity Heteroscedasticity occurs when the spread in Y is not equal throughout the relationship Chapter 8 - 17
Assumption 2 of Linear Regression The second assumption of linear regression is that the Y scores at each X form an approximately normal distribution Chapter 8 - 18

The Strength of a Relationship and Prediction Error Chapter 8 - 20
As the strength of the relationship increases, the actual Y scores are closer to their corresponding scores, producing less prediction error and smaller values of and . The Strength of a Relationship Chapter 8 - 21

Computing the Proportion of Variance Accounted For Chapter 8 - 24
Proportion of Variance Accounted For The proportion of varianceaccounted for is the proportional improvement in the accuracy of our predictions produced by using a relationship to predict Y scores, compared to our accuracy when we do not use the relationship. Chapter 8 - 25
When we do not use the relationship, we use the overall mean of the Y scores as everyone’s predicted Y The error here is the difference between the actual Y scores and the we predict they got When we do not use the relationship to predict scores, our error is Proportion of Variance Accounted For Chapter 8 - 26
When we do use the relationship, we use the corresponding as determined by the linear regression equation as our predicted value The error here is the difference between the actual Y scores and the that we predict they got When we do use the relationship to predict scores, our error is Proportion of Variance Accounted For Chapter 8 - 27

The computational formula for the proportion of variance in Y that is not accounted for by a linear relationship with X is . Proportion of Variance Not Accounted For Chapter 8 - 29
