Dummy Variables in Multiple Linear Regression Analysis with the OLS Method
Multiple linear regression analysis is a well-known technique frequently used by researchers to analyze the influence of independent variables on dependent variables. The ordinary least squares (OLS) method is one of the most commonly used methods in this analysis.
Calculating Predicted Y and Residual Values in Simple Linear Regression
Residual values in linear regression analysis need to be calculated for several purposes. In linear regression using the ordinary least squares method, one of the assumptions that must be met is that residuals must be normally distributed, hence the necessity to first calculate residual values. However, before calculating the residual values, we need to first calculate the predicted Y values. Therefore, on this occasion, we will discuss how to calculate predicted Y values and residual values.
