Example of How to Use Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) As an example, an analyst may want to know how the movement of the market affects the price of ExxonMobil (XOM). In this case, the linear equation will have
To perform a linear regression in R, we use the lm() function (which stands for linear model). The function requires to set the dependent variable first then the independent variable, separated by a tilde (~). Applied to our example of weight and car’s consumption, we have: model <-...
Multiple linear regression exampleYou are a public health researcher interested in social factors that influence heart disease. You survey 500 towns and gather data on the percentage of people in each town who smoke, the percentage of people in each town who bike to work, and the percentage of...
Multiple Regression - ExampleI run a company and I want to know how my employees’ job performance relates to their IQ, their motivation and the amount of social support they receive. Intuitively, I assume that higher IQ, motivation and social support are associated with better job performance....
Simple linear regression Let us start from the simple linear regression model where: is the dependent variable; is the constant (or intercept); is the regressor; is the regression coefficient (or slope); is the zero-mean error term.
Multiple linear regression is an extension of simple linear regression and many of the ideas we examined in simple linear regression carry over to the multiple regression setting. For example, scatterplots, correlation, and least squares method are still essential components for a multiple regres...
Simple linear regression: A model that relates a response variable Y to an input variable x by the equation Y=α+βx+e The quantities α and β are parameters of the regression model, and e is an error random variable. Dependent variable: Another term for the response variable. Independent...
Simple and Multiple Linear Regression Simple linear regression is a technique used to examine the strength of a linear relationship in a set of bivariate or paired data, where one variable acts as the predictor and the other as the response. For example, one may be interested in examining whet...
