Use this as your study guide Next couple of lectures 4/23/14 Logic of hypothesis testing with Correlations Interpreting the Correlations and scatterplots Simple and Multiple Regression Using correlation for predictions r versus r2 Regression uses the predictor variable (independent) to make predictions about the predicted variable (dependent)Coefficient of correlation is name for “r”Coefficient of determination is name for “r2”(remember it is always positive – no direction info)Standard error of the estimate is our measure of the variability of the dots around the regression line(average deviation of each data point from the regression line – like standard deviation) Coefficient of regression will “b” for each variable (like slope)
Some useful terms • Regression uses the predictor variable (independent) to make predictions about the predicted variable (dependent) • Coefficient of correlation is name for “r” • Coefficient of determination is name for “r2”(remember it is always positive – no direction info) • Standard error of the estimate is our measure of the variability of the dots around the regression line(average deviation of each data point from the regression line – like standard deviation)
Pop Quiz - 5 Questions 1. What is regression used for? • Include and example 2. What is a residual? How would you find it? 3. What is Standard Error of the Estimate (How is it related to residuals?) 4. Give one fact about r2 5. How is regression line like a mean? r2
Writing Assignment - 5 Questions 1. What is regression used for? • Include and example Regressions are used to take advantage of relationships between variables described in correlations. We choose a value on the independent variable (on x axis) to predict values for the dependent variable (on y axis).
Writing Assignment - 5 Questions 2. What is a residual? How would you find it? Residuals are the difference between our predicted y (y’) and the actual y data points. Once we choose a value on our independent variable and predict a value for our dependent variable, we look to see how close our prediction was. We are measuring how “wrong” we were, or the amount of “error” for that guess. Y – Y’
Writing Assignment - 5 Questions 3. What is Standard Error of the Estimate (How is it related to residuals?) The average length of the residuals The average error of our guess The average length of the green lines The standard deviation of the regression line
Writing Assignment - 5 Questions 4. Give one fact about r2 5. How is regression line like a mean?
Multiple regression equations • Can use variables to predict • behavior of stock market • probability of accident • amount of pollution in a particular well • quality of a wine for a particular year • which candidates will make best workers
Can use variables to predict which candidates will make best workers • Measured current workers – the best workers tend to have highest “success scores”. (Success scores range from 1 – 1,000) • Try to predict which applicants will have the highest success score. • We have found that these variables predict success: • Age (X1) • Niceness (X2) • Harshness (X3) Both 10 point scales Niceness (10 = really nice) Harshness (10 = really harsh) According to your research, age has only a small effect on success, while workers’ attitude has a big effect. Turns out, the best workers have high “niceness” scores and low “harshness” scores. Your results are summarized by this regression formula: Y’ = b1X 1+ b2X 2+ b3X 3 + a Y’ = b1 X1 + b2 X2 + b3 X 3 + a Success score = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700
According to your research, age has only a small effect on success, while workers’ attitude has a big effect. Turns out, the best workers have high “niceness” scores and low “harshness” scores. Your results are summarized by this regression formula: Y’ = b1 X1 + b2 X2 + b3 X 3 + a Success score = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700

Y’ = b1X 1 + b2X 2 + b3X 3+ a The Multiple Regression Equation – Interpreting the Regression Coefficients Success score = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700 b1 = The regression coefficient for age (X1) is “1” The coefficient is positive and suggests a positive correlation between age and success. As the age increases the success score increases. The numeric value of the regression coefficient provides more information. If age increases by 1 year and hold the other two independent variables constant, we can predict a 1 point increase in the success score.
Y’ = b1X 1 + b2X 2 + b3X 3+ a The Multiple Regression Equation – Interpreting the Regression Coefficients Success score = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700 b2 = The regression coefficient for age (X2) is “20” The coefficient is positive and suggests a positive correlation between niceness and success. As the niceness increases the success score increases. The numeric value of the regression coefficient provides more information. If the “niceness score” increases by one, and hold the other two independent variables constant, we can predict a 20 point increase in the success score.
Y’ = b1X 1 + b2X 2 + b3X 3+ a The Multiple Regression Equation – Interpreting the Regression Coefficients Success score = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700 b3 = The regression coefficient for age (X3) is “-75” The coefficient is negative and suggests a negative correlation between harshness and success. As the harshness increases the success score decreases. The numeric value of the regression coefficient provides more information. If the “harshness score” increases by one, and hold the other two independent variables constant, we can predict a 75 point decrease in the success score.
Here comes Victoria, her scores are as follows: Prediction line: Y’ = b1X 1+ b2X 2+ b3X 3+ a Y’ = 1X 1+ 20X 2- 75X 3+ 700 Y' = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700 • Age = 30 • Niceness = 8 • Harshness= 2 Y' = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700 What would we predict her “success index” to be? Y' = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700 We predict Victoria will have a Success Index of 740 (1)(30) - 75(2) + (20)(8) + 700 Y’ = = 3.812 Y’ = 740 Y' = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700

Y' = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700 (1)(35) - 75(8) + (20)(2) + 700 Y’ = Y’ = 175
Can use variables to predict which candidates will make best workers We predict Victor will have a Success Index of 175 We predict Victoria will have a Success Index of 740 Who will we hire?
Thank you! See you next time!!
