Dichotomizing continuous predictors in multiple regression: a bad idea.continuous covariatesdichotomizationcategorizationregressionefficiencyclinical researchIn medical research, continuous variables are often converted into categorical variables by grouping values into two or more categories. We consider i...
Multiple regression is beneficial in some respects, since it can show the relationships between more than just two variables; however, it should not always be taken at face value. It is easy to throw a big data set at a multiple regression and get an impressive-looking output. But many peo...
1. I scaled my data X and Y (subtracted the mean of each variable, and divided with the standard deviation). 2. I obtained the regression coefficients, some are zero (non-important variables), and for the rest I get values, some are 0.2, 1, 2, 3. ...

independent variables (i.e., no continuous independent variables), it is more common to approach the analysis from the perspective of a two-way ANOVA (for two categorical independent variables) or factorial ANOVA (for three or more categorical independent variables) instead of multiple regression.Fo...
The regression model for Yield as a function of Concentration is significant, but note that the line of fit appears to be tilted towards the outlier. We can see the effect of this outlier in the residual by predicted plot. The center line of zero does not appear to pass through the...
In this article, we will delve into multiple linear regression, a powerful machine learning technique for predicting continuous numerical values based on multiple predictor variables. With the help of Python, we will build and analyze a model that can predict a numerical outcome based on multiple ...
Regression Analysis: The main concept behind regression analysis, be it linear, multiple, or logistic regression, is to fit the data to an appropriate distribution and be able to predict the value of the dependent variable effectively. But sometimes, the nature of the dependent variable or the ...

Can I Do a Multiple Regression by Hand? It's unlikely as multiple regression models are complex and become even more so when there are more variables included in the model or when the amount of data to analyze grows. To run a multiple regression, you will likely need to use specialized ...
