Review of performing Project #4
part d, calculating homogeneity of within-groups regression
coefficients
Review of univariate and
bivariate statistics will be based on Tabaschnick book starting with page
53
In regression we are looking for a
line of best fit
- mean of x and mean of y
is first "moment"
- mean of the variance is
the 2nd moment
we are seeking the
regression formula to make predictions about other values of x or
y
if you find the correlation
coefficient, you are almsot home free because you have the correlation times
(standard deviaton of y divided by standard deviation of
x)
b = Rxy ( Sy /
Sx)
formula 3.31 is the old version /
long version of what we looked at
prevously
Analyze - Regression -
Linear Regression
- DV is the Y value
(outcome / response)
- colinearity is just
when you use multiple regression
look
at pearson product moment result, if it is negative the outcome was
negative
- this is not the same as the
slope but is related to it
r squared
indicates the precent of y that is explained by
x
regression is a general form of
ANOVA
- ANOVA and multiple regression
actually combine for the ANCOVA
procedure
As IVs increase, you must
increase your sample size
- 15 - 20
subjects are needed per IV
Now look
at chapter 5 (skip ch 4 on cleaning up data and screening
scores)
in correlation you don't want
high correlation, you do want moderate correlation (.3 or
.4)
see example on p. 122
(Tabaschnik) multiple regression
example
formula on p. 127, if you
standardize your IVs then you
what
is the goal of multiple regression: to
predict
- to get the formula, you must get
the coefficients
- so they recommend you
standardize coefficients, and that is what the BETA coefficients
are
Calculatiions for multiple
regression are so complicated that we will not be asked to do hand calculations
for this
- it requires matrix
algebra
- we will just rely on
SPSS
the order you enter the
variables in regression makes a big
difference
Next discussion will be
about MANOVA
