Regression Match

Set 1: Mechanics of Regression & Correlation

Set 1 of 2
Data = Model + Error
Covariance
Zero Correlation Consequence
Scatterplot Visualization
Intercept (a)
Correlation Significance
Pearson's r
Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)
Slope (b)
Error (Residual)
Optimization algorithm that minimizes squared errors to estimate parameters
Standardized measure of association bounded between -1 and 1
Unstandardized measure of shared variance limited by units
The fundamental form of most statistical models
The uncertainty remaining after fitting the model to the data
Should be judged by magnitude (effect size), not p-values
The value of the function when X is zero (crosses y-axis)
The regression model collapses to the Mean of Y (flat line)
Necessary to detect non-linear relationships (e.g., U-shaped) missed by r
Magnitude of change in f(x) resulting from a change in x
