Concept explainers

Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.

Linear Correlation

A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.

Regression Analysis

Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…

Textbook Question

Chapter B.5, Problem 102E

Suppose that x₁, x₂, x₃, and x₄ are predictor variables for a response variable y. The following table contains the t-statistics for the utility of individual predictor variables for regression equations that involve each predictor variable, each pair of predictor variables, each triple of predictor variables, and all four predictor variables.

Chapter B.5, Problem 102E, Suppose that x1, x2, x3, and x4 are predictor variables for a response variable y. The following

Use this table to do the following.

a. Use the forward selection method to obtain a regression equation. (Take t_enter = 2.00.)
b. Use the backward elimination method to obtain a regression equation. (Take t_remove = 2.00.)
c. Use stepwise regression to obtain a regression equation. (Take t_enter = t_remove = 2.00.)
d. Are the regression equations obtained in parts (a), (b), and (c) the same?
