Suppressor Variables in Social Work Research: Ways to Identify in Multiple Regression Models
When selecting a set of study variables, social work researchers frequently test correlations between the outcome variables (i.e., dependent variables) and theoretically relevant predictor variables (i.e., independent variables). In some instances, one or more of the predictor variables are uncorrelated with the outcome variable. This situation poses the question of whether researchers’ multipl...
متن کاملSome Modifications to Calculate Regression Coefficients in Multiple Linear Regression
In a multiple linear regression model, there are instances where one has to update the regression parameters. In such models as new data become available, by adding one row to the design matrix, the least-squares estimates for the parameters must be updated to reflect the impact of the new data. We will modify two existing methods of calculating regression coefficients in multiple linear regres...

This rejection occurs mainly as a result of the researchers' misinterpretation of the interdisc...
