Correlation and Prediction Error • The amount of prediction error is associated with the strength of the correlation between X and Y
Distribution of Prediction Error • Prediction error is the extent that an actual score deviates from the predicted score • Prediction error is normally distributed and has a standard deviation • The standard error of prediction (or standard error of the estimate) is the standard deviation for prediction error
Formula for Standard Error of Prediction • Standard Error of Prediction is calculated with the following formula • The standard error of prediction is influenced by • The strength of the relationship between X and Y • The variability in Y
Visual Depiction of Standard Error • Influence of correlation coefficient on standard error of prediction • Standard deviation of Y
Confidence Intervals • The standard error of prediction can be used to calculate a confidence interval for Y’
