 Correlation analysis is used to measure
strength of the association (linear relationship)
between two variables
 Correlation is only concerned with strength of the
relationship
 No causal effect is implied with correlation
 Correlation was first presented in Chapter 3

denoted ρ (the Greek letter rho)

Introduction to
Regression Analysis
 Regression analysis is used to:
 Predict the value of a dependent variable based on
the value of at least one independent variable
 Explain the impact of changes in an independent
variable on the dependent variable
Dependent variable: the variable we wish to explain
(also called the endogenous variable)
Independent variable: the variable used to explain
the dependent variable
(also called the exogenous variable)

Linear Regression Model
 The relationship between X and Y is
described by a linear function
 Changes in Y are assumed to be caused by
changes in X
 Linear regression population equation model
 Where 0 and 1 are the population model
coefficients and  is a random error term.

Finding the Least Squares
Equation
 The coefficients b0 and b1 , and other
regression results in this chapter, will be
found using a computer
 Hand calculations are tedious
 Statistical routines are built into Excel
 Other statistical analysis software can be used

Linear Regression Model
Assumptions
 The true relationship form is linear (Y is a linear function
of X, plus random error)
 The error terms, εi are independent of the x values
 The error terms are random variables with mean 0 and
constant variance, σ2
(the constant variance property is called homoscedasticity)
 The random error terms, εi, are not correlated with one
another, so that

 b0 is the estimated average value of y
when the value of x is zero (if x = 0 is
in the range of observed x values)
 b1 is the estimated change in the
average value of y as a result of a
one-unit change in x
Interpretation of the
Slope and the Intercept

Example
 A real estate agent wishes to examine the
relationship between the selling price of a home
and its size (measured in square feet)
 A random sample of 10 houses is selected
 Dependent variable (Y) = house price in $1000s
 Independent variable (X) = square feet

Intercept, b0
 b0 is the estimated average value of Y when the

observed X values)
 Here, no houses had 0 square feet, so b0 = 98.24833
just indicates that, for houses within the range of
sizes observed, $98,248.33 is the portion of the
house price not explained by square feet

Graphical Analysis
 The linear regression model is based on
minimizing the sum of squared errors
 If outliers exist, their potentially large squared
errors may have a strong influence on the fitted
regression line
 Be sure to examine your data graphically for
outliers and extreme points
 Decide, based on your model and logic, whether
the extreme points should remain or be removed

Chapter Summary
 Introduced the linear regression model
 Reviewed correlation and the assumptions of
linear regression
 Discussed estimating the simple linear
regression coefficients
 Described measures of variation
 Described inference about the slope
 Addressed estimation of mean values and
prediction of individual values
