Question | Answer |
Correlation coefficient (r) | a numerical measure of strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables |
Standard deviation formulas | |
Properties of Linear Correlation Coefficient | |
Rule of Thumb For Interpreting r | |
Regression | prediction of the average response for all subjects with a given value of the explanatory value |
Simple Linear Regression Model | |
Least Squares Regression Line (Best fitting line) | the line that minimizes the sum of the squared errors (or residuals) the line that minimizes the square of the vertical distance between the observed values of y and the predicted values |
Residuals | the vertical distances between the observed and predicted values |
Interpreting Intercept | the value of the response when the value of the explanatory is 0 |
Interpreting Slope | the value of the response when the value of the explanatory increases by 1 |
Extrapolation | predicting Y values for X values outside the range of the original values |
Outlier | an observation that falls within the range of the other X values but which lies far above or below the regression line and produces large residual |
Influential Observation | observations that are separated in the X (horizontal) direction from the other observation have unusually large influence on the position of the regression line |
Coefficient of Determination r^2 | indicates the proportion of observed y variation that can be explained by the linear regression model r^2 = (1 - SSResid)/SSTotal |
