TUTOR:  Jeffmoh / Testing for Multiple Regression

TUTOR:  Jeffmoh

Hello Jeffmoh,

This assignment is similar to the last one, as it has 2 parts labeled as Assignment 1 and Assignment 2.  The Afrobaramoter data set for SPSS was chosen for this paper; however, I need to send it to you because the website does not accept this file type.

Assignment 1: Testing for Multiple Regression

Part 1

To prepare for this Part 1 of your Assignment:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and media program related to multiple regression.
• Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in the Learning Resources for this week.
• Based on the dataset you chose, construct a research question that can be answered with a multiple regression analysis.
• Once you perform your multiple regression analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Part 1 Assignment:

Write a 1- to 2-page analysis of your multiple regression results for each research question. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.

Assignment 2: Multiple Regression in Practice

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources and search for a quantitative article that includes multiple regression testing.

For this Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the article. In your critique, include responses to the following:

• Why did the authors use multiple regression?
• Do you think it’s the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?
• Did the authors display the data?
• Do the results stand alone? Why or why not?
