Main Ideas and Concepts Covered

1. Introduction to Regression Analysis

Regression is introduced as a step beyond correlation.
Correlation measures the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables but does not predict values.
Regression allows prediction of the value of one variable based on the known value of another (independent and dependent variables).
Regression analysis is crucial for estimating values in business, economics, and research.

2. Difference Between Correlation and Regression

Correlation measures the degree (strength) and direction (positive/negative) of the relationship.
Regression studies the nature of the relationship and predicts values.
Correlation is symmetric (correlation of X with Y = correlation of Y with X), but regression is not symmetric.
Correlation does not imply cause-effect; regression assumes a cause-effect relationship.
Correlation cannot predict values; regression can.
Nonsense correlation (e.g., shoe size and reading skills) can occur, but nonsense regression does not.
Correlation is unaffected by changes in origin and scale; regression is unaffected by changes in origin but affected by scale changes.

3. Types of Regression Analysis

Simple Regression: Relationship between two variables (one independent, one dependent).
Multiple Regression: More than two variables involved (one dependent, multiple independent).
Linear Regression: Variables change in a fixed ratio; graph is a straight line.
Curvilinear (Non-linear) Regression: Variables change in a varying ratio; graph is a curve.
Partial Regression: Relationship between two variables while holding others constant.
Total Regression: Relationship involving all variables simultaneously.

4. Regression Lines

Two types:
- Y on X: Predict Y from X.
- X on Y: Predict X from Y.
Regression lines represent the average relationship between variables.
Regression lines can coincide (perfect correlation) or intersect at 90° (correlation = 0).
The distance between regression lines indicates strength of correlation (closer = stronger).
Direction of regression lines indicates positive or negative correlation.

5. Methods to Obtain Regression Lines

Scatter Diagram Method: Plot points and draw a freehand line; rarely used due to subjectivity.
Least Squares Method: Draw a straight line minimizing the sum of squared deviations from points; widely used and more precise.

6. Regression Equations

Algebraic representation of regression lines.
Forms:
- ( y = a + bx ) (Y on X)
- ( x = a + by ) (X on Y)
- Alternative form using means, standard deviations, and correlation coefficient: [ y - \bar{y} = r \frac{\sigma_y}{\sigma_x} (x - \bar{x}) ]
(a) is the intercept; (b) is the slope (regression coefficient).

7. Regression Coefficients

Measure average change in one variable for a unit change in another.
Represent the slope of the regression line.
Two coefficients: (b_{yx}) (Y on X) and (b_{xy}) (X on Y).
Properties:
- Correlation coefficient (r) is the geometric mean of the two regression coefficients: [ r = \pm \sqrt{b_{yx} \times b_{xy}} ]
- Both regression coefficients have the same sign.
- Correlation coefficient has the same sign as regression coefficients.
- Both regression coefficients cannot be greater than 1 simultaneously.
- Arithmetic mean of regression coefficients is greater than or equal to (r).
- Regression coefficients are independent of origin changes but affected by scale changes.

8. Standard Error of Estimate

Measures the accuracy of predictions made by regression.
Indicates how close estimated values are to actual values.
Two types corresponding to Y on X and X on Y.
Formula involves sum of squared deviations of observed values from estimated values.
Lower standard error means better accuracy.

9. Explained and Unexplained Variation

Total variation in dependent variable (Y) is divided into:
- Explained Variation: Due to independent variable (X).
- Unexplained Variation: Due to other factors.
Coefficient of Determination ((r^2)) measures proportion of total variation explained by (X).
- Example: (r^2 = 0.81) means 81% of variation in (Y) is explained by (X).
Coefficient of Non-determination = (1 - r^2), representing unexplained variation.

Methodology / Instructions

Understanding Regression vs Correlation:
- Recognize correlation as a measure of degree and direction.
- Understand regression as a tool for prediction and cause-effect relationship.
- Note symmetry in correlation; asymmetry in regression.
- Be aware of nonsense correlations and their absence in regression.
Types of Regression:
- Identify whether analysis involves two variables (simple) or multiple (multiple).
- Determine if relationship is linear (fixed ratio) or curvilinear (variable ratio).
- Use partial regression to study two variables controlling others; total regression for all variables.
Constructing Regression Lines:
- Use scatter diagram method by plotting points and drawing freehand line (not recommended).
- Prefer least squares method to fit a line minimizing sum of squared vertical (Y on X) or horizontal (X on Y) distances.
Writing Regression Equations:
- Use ( y = a + bx ) or ( x = a + by ) depending on dependent variable.
- Calculate slope (b) and intercept (a).
- Alternatively, use formula involving means, standard deviations, and correlation.
Calculating Regression Coefficients:
- Understand coefficients measure average change in dependent variable per unit change in independent variable.
- Use properties to check consistency and validity of coefficients.
- Derive correlation coefficient from regression coefficients.
Evaluating Accuracy:
- Calculate standard error of estimate to assess prediction accuracy.
- Use formulas for Y on X and X on Y as per data.
Analyzing Variation:
- Separate total variation in dependent variable into explained and unexplained parts.
- Calculate coefficient of determination (r^2) to quantify explained variation.
- Use coefficient of non-determination to understand unexplained variation.
