Multiple Regression with Categorical VariablesTolmie, AndrewMcAteer, EricaMuijs, Daniel
The variable that's predicted is known as the criterion. The variables that predict the criterion are known as predictors. Regression requires metric variables but special techniques are available for using categorical variables as well. Multiple Regression - ExampleI...
2.2.3 Multiple regression analysis: the benchmark models The relationships between GR RR performance and the main determinants identified in the sampled literature were then explored using multivariate statistical techniques. Another explanatory variable, the year of publication (y), was included in the...
Multiple regression (an extension of simple linear regression) is used to predict the value of a dependent variable (also known as an outcome variable) based on the value of two or more independent variables (also known as predictor variables). For example, you could use multiple regression to...
partial regression coefficient: a value indicating the effect of each independent variable on the dependent variable with the influence of all the remaining variables held constant. Each coefficient is the slope between the dependent variable and each of the independent variables p-value: The probabilit...
Multiple regression, logistic regression, etc. Fitting a multiple regression model provides even more opportunities to try multiple analyses: Try including or excluding possible confounding variables. Try including or excluding interactions. Change the definition of the outcome variable. ...

An indicator variable (also called a dummy variable) is a quantitative variable consisting only of the values 0 and 1 that is used to represent qualitative categorical data as an explanatory X variable. The number of indicator variables used in multiple regression to replace a qualitative variable...
In particular, we’ll write out the equation of the two regression lines in Figure 6.1 using the values from a regression table. Before we do this, however, let’s go over a brief refresher of regression when you have a categorical explanatory variable xx. Recall in Subsection 5.2.2 we ...
Setting Up Variables for Regression The code below creates a variable X_iterated: a DataFrame containing the column with the strongest correlation and your selected categorical feature. # Run this cell without changes X_iterated = diamonds[[most_correlated, cat_col]] X_iterated Preprocessing Categor...
