Covariance
Zero Correlation Consequence
Intercept (a)
Slope (b)
Data = Model + Error
The uncertainty remaining after fitting the model to the data
Unstandardized measure of shared variance limited by units
Optimization algorithm that minimizes squared errors to estimate parameters
Should be judged by magnitude (effect size), not p-values
The regression model collapses to the Mean of Y (flat line)
The fundamental form of most statistical models
Standardized measure of association bounded between -1 and 1
Magnitude of change in f(x) resulting from a change in x
The value of the function when X is zero (crosses y-axis)
Necessary to detect non-linear relationships (e.g., U-shaped) missed by r
