The article “A Study of Factors Affecting the Human Cone Photoreceptor Density Measured by Adaptive Optics Scanning Laser Opthalmoscope” (Exptl. Eye Research, 2013: 1–9) included a summary of a multiple regression analysis based on a sample of n 5 192 eyes; the dependent variable was cone cell packing density (cells/mm2), and the two independent variables were x1 5 eccentricity (mm) and x2 5 axial length (mm).
- a. The reported coefficient of multiple determination was .834. Interpret this value, and carry out a test of model utility.
- b. The estimated regression
function was y = 35,821.792 ‒ 6294.729x1 ‒ 348.037x2. Calculate a point prediction for packing density when eccentricity is 1 mm and axial length is 25 mm. - c. Interpret the coefficient on x1 in the estimated regression function in (b).

Attached to the end of the page is a portion of a printout from a stepwise regression analysis. a) Any of the F statistics on the printout can be computed via the formula:
F = (SSReg( Model A ) – SSReg( Model B ) ) / C
MSResidual( Model A)
Identify what Model A, Model B, and the constant C are in order to obtain the F = 1.33 value for the variable x8 .
b) Based on the printout for Step 6 of the stepwise selection procedure, what will be the next change in the model, in Step 7 of the procedure? (In other words, will a particular term be dropped, or added, or will nothing occur? Assume that the significance level for entry and staying are a = .15.)
Which of the non-parametric test for ordinal data is the best to use in the given scenario?
An experiment was conducted to compare the strengths of two types of elastic bandages: one a standard bandage of a specified weight and the other the same standard but treated with a chemical substance. Ten pieces of each were randomly selected from production. Does the treated bandage tend to be stronger than the standard?
