Review of Subject In this report, the question “How much of the changes in the median selling price of homes in a city can be explained by the changes in median income of that city?” is answered. Home ownership is an important aspect of one’s life stages, and home prices are determined by demand and supply. The demand curve is affected by the one’s income, such that as one’s income increases, one is more willing to pay a higher price for the same quantity of goods (Baye & Prince, 2014). However, there are many other factors that might affect the demand curve, e.g. no. of children, in the household, the perceived quality of education in the school district, or the number of job positions (filled or open) around the city.

In real world situations, often one needs to analyze the relationship between one dependent variable and a set of more than one independent variables. In this case, the bivariate model can be extended to include additional independent variables. The general multiple regression equation is y = a + b1x1 + b2x2 + b3x3 + … + bkxk, where a is the intercept and bk is the coefficient of the independent variable xk. For example, in finding out whether home price of a city is related to factors such as household income, number of households, unemployment rate, and quality of education in that city, one could develop a linear model using the multiple regression analysis. First, collect the home price data as the dependent variable, and income data, unemployment data etc. as independent variables. Second, apply the regression in Minitab software. Third, analyze the output of the regression model for the R-square, the p-values of the coefficient of the variables, and the VIF values. The concept of the coefficient of determination, R-square, is the same in both the simple regression model and multiple regression model. It is the percentage of variations of the dependent variable explained by the changes in the set of independent variables (Lind, Marchal, & Wathen, 2015). The R-square can also be obtained which tells how good the overall fit of
17 In regression analysis, the coefficient of determination R2 measures the amount of variation in y
* Correlation coefficient (R-squared) – This represents how well the independent variables (X) explain the response variable (Y).
* Test the utility of this regression model (use a two tail test with α =.05).
~ From the example above, the dependant variable is banana quality and the independent variable is time
11. Using MINITAB run the multiple regression analysis using the variables INCOME, SIZE and YEARS to predict CREDIT BALANCE. State the equation for this multiple regression model.
Table 2 presents estimation results of our empirical model represented by equation (5). The first column shows estimation results only including housing prices and traffic congestion index without other control variables. The result presents that traffic congestion growth is negatively associated with growth in median housing prices. Such results are slightly changed when including control variables or fixed-effects terms, but almost consistent and robust as shown in the model (2) through model (6). Since different locations and different time influence growth in housing prices (see Figure 5, again), model (6) that include locational and time fixed-effects is the best fit to explain the relationship between congestion growth and housing price
Recognize and create models for bivariate data sets. Choose between linear, exponential, and other functional models, create such models by hand or with technology, and demonstrate an understanding of the limitations of their choice.*
Multivariate regression is a standard statistical tool that regresses independent variables (predictors) against a single dependent variable (response variable).The objective is to find a linear model that best predicts the dependent variable from the independent variables. In order to explain the data in the simplest way, redundant or unnecessary predictors should be removed. Such eliminating process is needed for the following reasons. First, unnecessary predictors will add noise to the estimation of other quantities that we are interested, causing loss in degrees of freedom in statistical point of view. Second, if the model is to be used for prediction, we can save time and/or money by not measuring redundant predictors. Finally, multi co-linearity is caused by having too many variables trying to do the same job.
The coefficient of determination or r2: It determines the proportion of variation in the dependent variable by the independent variable.
The regression analysis was initially run using all variables to determine the significance of each when associated
Two economic factors affect supply in a stable housing market, price of related goods or similar houses, and the price of the good, best represented by style or size in the case of the housing market. The affluence of a community typically determines how much homes sell for in those communities, and therefore communities where a lot of people want to live become areas where average home prices are high. (Kumar, 1) There is little space in these affluent communities, and therefore little supply. A good example is New York City, where no homes are available, only apartment buildings, and very few apartments are actively exchanged each year.
I will be using a mixed methods approach to answer my research question. Both bivariate and multivariate statistical methods will be used to analyze my data. Bivariate measures that will be employed are Pearson’s R and Pearson’s R Square. Meanwhile, a multiple regression analysis will be utilize as my multivariate statistical method to analyze data.
These are the formulas for testing differences in percentages or rates of a single response variable with the same base. The formula calculates standard error of the difference between two percentages derived from a single response with the
Next the linear regression line is the line that finds the average of all x coordinates and the average of all y coordinates to create a linear formula that shows the direction of the points and at which intensity the slope of the data is. The equation for finding the slope of the data provided is seen on the right and the variables include, the correlation coefficient, and the standard deviation of x and y. This shows us the correlation of any two plot points. If the slope is higher then it shows a more positive correlation and if the slope is a large negative then it shows a negative correlation. How true the correlation is must be referred back to the correlation coefficient. The higher both of them are means the validity, reliability,
A difficult characteristic to understand about the housing market is how a price is given for a particular house. That price will be designated to that particular house alone. All houses have various pricing, so I can’t always assume that one will cost more or less than any other. The pricing for houses vary based on their characteristics. Each characteristic must be analyzed to determine its contribution or detraction toward the price. I have taken some of these characteristics and modeled the relationship between them and the price of real estate for a specific area.
