Multiple regression analysis

Objectives

On completion of this topic students should be able to:

apply and interpret multiple regression

interpret the output that relates to multiple linear regression.

Simple regression is bivariate linear regression in which one dependent variable, y, is predicted by one independent variable, x.

There are situations in which a dependent variable may be predicted by using more than one independent variable: CEOs compensations may be predicted by using variables such as company earnings per share, age of CEO, size of company, and company sales.

Regression analysis with two or more independent variables is called multiple regression analysis.

Multiple regression is similar in principle to simple regression. However it is more complex conceptually and computationally.

Simple Versus Multiple Regression

Probabilistic Multiple Regression Model Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + β3X3 + . . . + βkXk+ ε

where Y = the value of the dependent (response) variable

β0 = the regression constant

β1 = the partial regression coefficient of independent variable 1

β2 = the partial regression coefficient of independent variable 2

βk = the partial regression coefficient of independent variable k

k = the number of independent variables

ε = the error of prediction

Multiple Regression Models

Probabilistic Multiple Regression Model Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + ε

where Y = the value of the dependent (response) variable

β0 = the regression constant

β1 = the partial regression coefficient of independent variable 1

β2 = the partial regression coefficient of independent variable 2

ε = the error of prediction

Multiple Regression Models (our interest)
