Correlation in Simple Linear Regression
نویسنده
چکیده
Many people who do data analysis take only a few classes in statistics and hence, in general, get introduced only to classical methods of statistics; i.e., least squares, normal theory, and possibly maximum likelihood methods. The motivation for most of these techniques is the maximizing of a function of the data with respect to some parameter—mean, variance, slope, e.g. Calculus is used by taking derivatives and solving an equation set to equal zero.

New Approach in Fitting Linear Regression Models with the Aim of Improving Accuracy and Power
The main contribution of this work lies in challenging the common practice of inferential statistics in the realm of simple linear regression for attaining a higher degree of accuracy when multiple observations are available, at least, at one level of the regressor variable. We derive sufficient conditions under which one can improve the accuracy of the interval estimations at quite affordable ...
متن کاملCorrelation and simple linear regression.
In this tutorial article, the concepts of correlation and regression are reviewed and demonstrated. The authors review and compare two correlation coefficients, the Pearson correlation coefficient and the Spearman rho, for measuring linear and nonlinear relationships between two continuous variables. In the case of measuring the linear relationship between a predictor and an outcome variable, s...
متن کاملA Simulation Study on Intracluster Correlation
The study of the common intracluster correlation in simple linear regression is well developed ([1] and [2]). For the situation involving various intracluster correlation coefficients, the issues become more complicated. The prime objective of this study is to compare the loss of efficiency in using the intracluster correlation structure of common form to that in Toeplitz form for simple linear...
متن کاملIdentifying the time of a step change in AR(1) auto-correlated simple linear profiles
Assuming a first-order auto-regressive model for the auto-correlation structure between observations, in this paper, a transformation method is first employed to eliminate the effect of auto-correlation. Then, a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of a step change in the parameters of the transformed model is derived and three separate EWMA control charts are used to monitor the parameters of th...

analysis does not test for causal relationships, only whether there is a relationship and, to some extent, the strength of this relationship. Linear regression analysis is used to predict or estimate the value of a normally distributed response variable from the known values of one or more explanatory variables which are not necessarily normally distributed. When the analysis uses a single expl...
