  1. Chapter 2FStatistical Tools in Evaluation

  2. Linear Regression • Predict one variable from others • If measurement on one variable is difficult • Prediction is not perfect but contains error • Error (SEE) is low if r is high • Equation is Y=(bX)+C • Y is the predicted value • b is the slope of the line and X is the value of the other • C is the Y intercept (constant)

  3. Prediction-Regression Analysis • Regression – statistical model used to predict performance on one variable from another. • Simple regression – predicting a score on one variable (Y) from one other variable (X). • Multiple regression – predicting a score on one variable (Y) from two or more other variables (X1, X1, etc.)

  4. General Prediction Equation Y = (bX) + C b = slope of regression line (rate of change in Y per unit change in X) c = Y-intercept or constant (Y when X=zero)

  5. Standard Error of Estimate (SEE) • R=regression while r=correlation • Predicted Score = Y • Y will not be perfect unless r = 1 • When r  1 there is prediction error • The standard deviation of this error = SEE • SEE = Sy1 - r2

  6. Standard Error of Estimate (SEE) • Expect to find the subjects’ real score in the boundaries: Y ± 2 (SEE) 95% of the time • The equation with the lowest SEE is the most accurate.

  7. Other important measures • R = correlation between predicted and real score • Ranges between 0 and 1.00 • An index of prediction accuracy • R2 = coefficient of determination • Proportion of variance in criterion (Y scores) explained by the predictor (X scores) • An index of prediction accuracy

  8. Regression Equation • Y=(bX)+C • Y is the predicted value • b is the slope of the line and X is the value • C is the Y intercept (constant)

  9. Confidence Intervals (CI) • SEE x 2 • Determines error around the predicted score • Multiply the SEE x 2 to get 95% confidence

  10. Simple Regression • Trying to predict height from weight. • Run SPSS regression and choose linear.

  11. Simple Regression Solved • Subject #1, Y=(bx)+C • Y=(.06x115)+56.81 • Y=6.9+56.81 • Y=63.71 • Predicted score = 63.71+(SEEx2) • Answer = 63.71+6.98 • 95% of the time the real score will fall between 56.73 - 70.69

  12. Multiple Regression • Predict criterion (Y) using several predictors (X1, X2, X3, etc) • Basic multiple regression equation has one intercept (c) and several bs (one for each predictor variable). • Y = (bX1 + bX2 + bX3) + c • Important measures: R, R2, SEE

  13. Multiple Regression • Trying to predict height from weight and Rgrip. • Run SPSS regression and choose linear.

  14. Multiple Regression Solved • Subject #1, Y= (bX1) + (bX2) + C • Y=(.02x115) + (.08x18) + 56.14 • Y=2.3+1.44+56.14 • Y=59.88 • Predicted score = 59.88+(SEEx2) • Answer = 59.88+4.24 • 95% of the time the real score will fall between 55.64 – 64.12

  15. Outcomes • Simple vs. Multiple Regression • R increased • SEE decreased THEREFORE • 95% confidence intervals decreased • Prediction accuracy increased

  16. SPSS • Analyze • Regression • Linear • Dependent variable (what to predict) • Independent variable (used to predict) • Constant, B value(s) and SEE
