How to Interpret the Coefficient of Determination (R-squared) in Linear Regression Analysis
The coefficient of determination (R-squared) is a statistical metric used in linear regression analysis to measure how well independent variables explain the dependent variable. It indicates the quality of the linear regression model created in a research study.
Assumptions Required in Multiple Linear Regression Analysis Using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Method
Multiple linear regression with the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method is one of the statistical techniques used to assess the influence of two or more independent variables on a dependent variable. The OLS method is carried out by minimizing the sum of squared errors between the model’s predictions and the actual values of the dependent variable.
Understanding Normality Test in Ordinary Least Squares Linear Regression
Linear regression analysis examines the influence of independent variables on dependent variables. This analysis can take the form of simple linear regression or multiple linear regression. Most linear regression analyses utilize the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method.
Understanding the t-test for non-normally distributed data
For researchers aiming to explore the differences between two sample groups, the t-test is a viable option. According to theory, the t-test can determine differences between two sample groups, whether they are paired or independent.
How to Detect Multicollinearity in Multiple Linear Regression Equations Using the OLS Method
Multicollinearity testing is one of the assumptions in the least squares method of multiple linear regression. This test is conducted to determine whether there is a strong correlation between independent variables.
Definition and Purpose of Determining Residual Values in Linear Regression Analysis
In linear regression analysis, residual values play a crucial role. The residual value is the difference between the actual and predicted Y values. The actual Y value can be obtained from observations or samples of the dependent variable.
How to Interpret Dummy Variables in Ordinary Least Squares Linear Regression Analysis
Dummy variables, which have non-parametric measurement scales, can be used in specifying linear regression equations. The linear regression equation I’m referring to here is the ordinary least squares (OLS) method. As we already know, most variables are measured on interval and ratio scales in ordinary least squares linear regression equations.
Coefficient of Determination and How to Interpret it in Linear Regression Analysis
The coefficient of determination in linear regression analysis is crucial in understanding how well the independent variables explain the dependent variable. In linear regression analysis, the coefficient of determination can come in two forms: the coefficient of determination (R square) and the adjusted coefficient of determination (Adjusted R Square).
