3 Regression with Continuous Regression Basics Not A Good Idea Research Design Analysis Specs Example Example Analysis Linear regression regresses a continuous-valued dependent variable, Y, onto a set of continuous-valued independent variables X. The regression line gives the estimate of the mean of Y conditional on the values of X, or E(Y X). But what happens when some or all independent variables are categorical in nature? Is the point of the regression to determine E(Y X), across the levels of Y? Can t we just put the categorical variables into SPSS and push the Continue" button? Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 3 of 54
4 Example Data Set Regression Basics Not A Good Idea Research Design Analysis Specs Example Example Analysis Neter (1996, p. 676). The Kenton Food Company wished to test four different package designs for a new breakfast cereal. Twenty stores, with approximately equal sales volumes, were selected as the experimental units. Each store was randomly assigned one of the package designs, with each package design assigned to five stores. The stores were chosen to be comparable in location and sales volume. Other relevant conditions that could affect sales, such as price, amount and location of shelf space, and special promotional efforts, were kept the same for all of the stores in the experiment.

6 Regression Basics Not A Good Idea Research Design Analysis Specs Example Example Analysis variables commonly occur in research settings. Another term sometimes used to describe for categorial variables is that of qualitative variables. A strict definition of a qualitative or categorical variable is that of a variable that has a finite number of levels. Continuous (or quantitative) variables, alternatively, have infinitely many levels. Often this is assumed more than practiced. Quantitative variables often have countably many levels. Level of precision of an instrument can limit the number of levels of a quantitative variable. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 6 of 54
7 Research Design Regression Basics Not A Good Idea Research Design Analysis Specs Example Example Analysis variables can occur in many different research designs: Experimental research. Quasi-experimental research. Nonexperimental/Observational research. Such variables can be used with regression for: Prediction. Explanation. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 7 of 54
8 Analysis Specifics Regression Basics Not A Good Idea Research Design Analysis Specs Example Example Analysis Because of nature of categorical variables, emphasis of regression is not on linear trends but on differences between means (of Y ) at each level of the category. Not all categorical variables are ordered (like cereal box type, gender,etc...). When considering differences in the mean of the dependent variable, the type of analysis being conducted by a regression is commonly called an ANalysis Of VAriance (ANOVA). Combinations of categorical and continuous variables in the same regression is called ANalysis Of CoVAriance (ANCOVA - Chapters 14 and 15). Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 8 of 54
9 Example Variable: Two Categories Regression Basics Not A Good Idea Research Design Analysis Specs Example Example Analysis From Pedhazur (1997; p. 343): Assume that the data reported [below] were obtained in an experiment in which E represents an experimental group and C represents a control group. E C Y Ȳ (Y Ȳ ) 2 = y Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 9 of 54
10 Old School Statistics: The t-test Regression Basics Not A Good Idea Research Design Analysis Specs Example Example Analysis As you may recall from an earlier course on statistics, an easy way to determine if the means of the two conditions differ significantly is to use a t-test (with n 1 + n 2 2) degrees of freedom. H 0 µ 1 = µ 2 H A µ 1 µ 2 t = Σy 2 1 +Σy2 2 n 1 +n 2 2 Ȳ 1 Ȳ 2 ( ) 1 n n 2 Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 10 of 54
11 Old School Statistics: The t-test t = ( ) = 4 3 = 2.31 Regression Basics Not A Good Idea Research Design Analysis Specs Example Example Analysis From Excel ( =tdist(2.31,8,2) ), p = If we used a Type-I error rate of 0.05, we would reject the null hypothesis, and conclude the means of the two groups were significantly different. But what if we had more than two groups?. This type of problem can be solved equivalently from within the context of the General Linear Model. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 11 of 54
12 When using categorical variables in regression, levels of the categories must be recoded from their original value to ensure the regression model truly estimates the mean differences at levels of the categories. Several types of coding strategies are common: Dummy coding. Effect coding. Each type will produce the same fit of the model (via R 2 ). The estimated regression parameters are different across coding types, thereby representing the true difference in approaches employed by each type of coding. The choice of method of coding does not differ as a function of the type of research or analysis or purpose (explanation or prediction) of the analysis. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 12 of 54
13 Definition: a code is a set of symbols to which meanings can be assigned (Pedhazur, 1997; p. 342). The assignment of symbols follows a rule (or set of rules) determined by the categories of the variable used. Typically symbols represent the respective levels of a categorical variable. All entities within the same symbol are considered alike (or homogeneous) within that category level. levels must be predetermined prior to analysis. Some variables are obviously categorical - gender. Some variables are not so obviously categorial - political affiliation. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 13 of 54
14 The most straight-forward method of coding categorical variables is dummy coding. Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 In dummy coding, one creates a set of variables that represent the membership of an observation to a given category level. If an observation is a member of a specific category level, they are given a value of 1 in that category level s variable. If an observation is not a member of a specific category, they are given a value of 0 in that category level s variable. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 14 of 54
15 For each observation, a no more that a single 1 will appear in the set of columns for that variable. Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 The columns represent the predictor variables in a regression analysis, where the dependent variable is modeled as a function of these columns. Because of linear dependence with an intercept, one category-level column is often excluded from the analysis. Because all observations at a given category level have the same value across the set of predictors, the predicted value of the dependent variable, Y, will be identical for all observations within a category. The set of category columns (and a vector for an intercept) are now used as input into a regression model. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 15 of 54
16 Dummy Coded Regression Example Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Y X 1 X 2 X 3 Group E E E E E C C C C C Mean SS yx2 = 10 yx3 = 10 Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 16 of 54
17 Dummy Coded Regression The General Linear Model states that the estimated regression parameters are given by: b = (X X) 1 X y Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 From the previous slide, you can see what our entries for X could be, but... Notice that X 1 = X 2 + X 3. This linear dependency means that: (X X) is a singular matrix - no inverse exists. Any combination of two of the columns would rid us of the linear dependency. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 17 of 54
18 Dummy Coded Regression - X 2 and X 3 For our first example analysis, consider the regression of Y on X 2 and X 3. Y = b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + e Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 b 2 = 17 b 3 = 13 y2 = 100 SS res = X X = 60 SS reg = = 40 R 2 = = 0.4 Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 18 of 54
19 Dummy Coded Regression - X 2 and X 3 Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 b 2 = 17 is the mean for the E category. b 3 = 13 is the mean for the C category. Without an intercept, the model is fairly easy to interpret. For more advanced models, an intercept will prove to be helpful in interpretation. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 19 of 54
20 Dummy Coded Regression - X 1 and X 2 For our second example analysis, consider the regression of Y on X 1 and X 2. Y = a + b 2 X 2 + e Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 a = 13 b 2 = 4 y2 = 100 SS res = X X = 60 SS reg = = 40 R 2 = = 0.4 Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 20 of 54
21 Dummy Coded Regression - X 2 and X 3 a = 13 is the mean for the C category. Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 b 2 = 4 is the mean difference between the E category and the C category. The C category is called reference category. For members of the C category: Y = a + b 2 X 2 = (0) = 13 For members of the E category: Y = a + b 2 X 2 = (1) = 17 With the intercept, the model parameters are now different from the first example. The fit of the model, however, is the same. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 21 of 54
22 Dummy Coded Regression - X 1 and X 3 For our third example analysis, consider the regression of Y on X 1 and X 3. Y = a + b 3 X 3 + e Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 a = 17 b 3 = 4 y2 = 100 SS res = X X = 60 SS reg = = 40 R 2 = = 0.4 Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 22 of 54
23 Dummy Coded Regression - X 1 and X 3 a = 17 is the mean for the E category. Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 b 3 = 4 is the mean difference between the C category and the E category. The E category is called reference category. For members of the E category: Y = a + b 3 X 3 = 17 4(0) = 17 For members of the E category: Y = a + b 3 X 3 = 17 4(1) = 13 With the intercept, the model parameters are now different from the first example. The fit of the model, however, is the same. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 23 of 54
24 Hypothesis Test of the Regression Coefficien Because each model had the same value for R 2 and the same number of degrees of freedom for the regression (1), all hypothesis tests of the model parameters will result in the same value of the test statistic. Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 F = R 2 /k (1 R 2 )/(N k 1) = 0.4/1 (1 0.4)/(10 1 1) = 5.33 From Excel ( =fdist(5.33,1,8) ), p = If we used a Type-I error rate of 0.05, we would reject the null hypothesis, and conclude the regression coefficient for each analysis would be significantly different from zero. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 24 of 54
25 Hypothesis Test of the Regression Coefficien Example: Dummy Coded Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Recall from the t-test of the mean difference, t = For the test of the coefficient, notice that F = t 2. Also notice that the p-values for each hypothesis test were the same, p = The test of the regression coefficient is equivalent to running a t-test when using a single categorical variable with two categories. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 25 of 54
26 Generalizing the concept of dummy coding, we revisit our first example data set, the cereal experiment data. Recall that there were four different types of cereal boxes. Breakfast Cereal Example A dummy coding scheme would involve creation of four new column vectors, each representing observations from each box type. Just as was the case with two categories, a linear dependency is created if we wanted to use all four variables. Therefore, we must choose which category to remove from the analysis. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 26 of 54
27 One-Way Analysis of Variance Just as was the case for the example with two categories, a multiple category regression model with a single categorical independent variable has a direct link to a statistical test you may be familiar with. Breakfast Cereal Example The regression model tests for mean differences across all pairings of category levels simultaneously. Testing for a difference between multiple groups equates to a one-way ANOVA model (for a model with a single categorical independent variable). Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 27 of 54
28 Y X 1 X 2 X 3 X 4 X 5 Type
29 Breakfast Cereal Example Breakfast Cereal Example To make things interesting, let s drop X 5 from our analysis. Y = a + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + b 4 X 4 + e Because X 5 (representing box type four) was omitted from our model, the estimated intercept parameter now represents the mean for group X 5. All other parameters represent the difference between their respective category level and category level four with respect to the dependent variable. a = 27.2 b 2 = 12.6 b 3 = 13.8 b 4 = 7.8 Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 28 of 54
30 Breakfast Cereal Example Therefore: Ȳ A = Y A = a + b 2 (1) + b 3 (0) + b 4 (0) = = 14.6 Breakfast Cereal Example Ȳ B = Y B = a + b 2 (0) + b 3 (1) + b 4 (0) = = 13.4 Ȳ C = Y C = a + b 2 (0) + b 3 (0) + b 4 (1) = = 19.4 Ȳ D = Y D = a + b 2 (0) + b 3 (0) + b 4 (0) = 27.2 Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 29 of 54
31 Hypothesis Test Breakfast Cereal Example To test that all means are equal to each other (H 0 : µ 1 = µ 2 =... = µ k ) against the hypothesis that at least one mean differs (H 1 : At least one µ µ ), called an omnibus test, the same hypothesis test from before can be used: F = R 2 /k (1 R 2 )/(N k 1) = 0.4/1 (1 0.4)/(10 1 1) = 5.33 y 2 = SS res = SS reg = = R 2 = 854.6/ = Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 30 of 54
32 Hypothesis Tests F = R 2 /k (1 R 2 )/(N k 1) = 0.844/3 ( )/(20 3 1) = Breakfast Cereal Example From Excel ( =fdist(28.77,3,16) ), p = If we used a Type-I error rate of 0.05, we would reject the null hypothesis, and conclude that at least one regression coefficient for this analysis would be significantly different from zero. Having a regression coefficient of zero means having zero difference between two means (reference and specific category being compared). Having all regression coefficients of zero means absolutely no difference between any of the means. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 31 of 54
33 Effect coding is the less straight-forward method of coding categorical variables when compared with dummy coding. In effect coding, one (again) creates a set of columns that represent the membership of an observation to a given category level. Like dummy coding, the total number of columns for a categorical variable are equal to one less than the total number of category levels. Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 32 of 54
34 If an observation is a member of a specific category level, they are given a value of 1 in that category level s column. If an observation is not a member of a specific category and is not a member of the omitted category, they are given a value of 0 in that category level s column. If an observation is a member of the omitted category, they are given a value of -1 in every category level s column. Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 33 of 54
35 Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model For each observation, a no more that a single 1 will appear in the set of columns for that variable. The columns represent the predictor variables in a regression analysis, where the dependent variable is modeled as a function of these columns. Because all observations at a given category level have the same value across the set of predictors, the predicted value of the dependent variable, Y, will be identical for all observations within a category. The set of category columns (and a column for an intercept) are now used as input into a regression model. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 34 of 54
36 Effect Coded Regression Example Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model Y X 1 X 2 Group E E E E E C C C C C Mean Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 35 of 54
37 Effect Coded Regression The General Linear Model states that the estimated regression parameters are given by: b = (X X) 1 X y Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 36 of 54
38 Effect Coded Regression - X 1 and X 2 For our second example analysis, consider the regression of Y on X 1 and X 2. a = 15 b 2 = 2 y2 = 100 Y = a + b 2 X 2 + e Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model SS res = X X = 60 SS reg = = 40 R 2 = = 0.4 Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 37 of 54
39 Effect Coded Regression - X 1 and X 2 Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model a = 15 is the overall mean of the dependent variable across all categories. b 2 = 2 is the called the effect of the experimental group. This effect represents the difference between the experimental group mean and the overall mean. For members of the E category: Y = a + b 2 X 2 = (1) = 17 For members of the C category: Y = a + b 2 X 2 = ( 1) = 13 The fit of the model is the same as was found in the dummy coding from the previous class. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 38 of 54
40 The Fixed Effects Linear Model Effect coding is built to estimate the fixed linear effects model. Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model Y ij = µ + β j + ǫ ij Y ij is the value of the dependent variable of individual i in group/treatment/category j. µ is the population (grand) mean. β j is the effect of group/treatment/category j. ǫ ij is the error associated with the score of individual i in group/treatment/category j. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 39 of 54
41 The Fixed Effects Linear Model The fixed effects linear model states that a predicted score for an observation is a composite of the grand mean and the treatment effect of the group to which the observation belongs. Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model Y ij = µ + β j + ǫ ij For all category levels (total represented by G), the model has the following constraint: G β g = 0 g=1 Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 40 of 54
42 The Fixed Effects Linear Model This constraint means that the effect for the omitted category level (o) is equal to: β o = g o β g = β 1 β 2... From the example, the effect for the control group is equal to: Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model Just to verify: β C = β E = 2 β E + β C = 2 + ( 2) = 0 Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 41 of 54
43 Hypothesis Test of the Regression Coefficien Because each model had the same value for R 2 and the same number of degrees of freedom for the regression (1), all hypothesis tests of the model parameters will result in the same value of the test statistic. F = R 2 /k (1 R 2 )/(N k 1) = 0.4/1 (1 0.4)/(10 1 1) = 5.33 Example: Effect Coded Example 1 Fixed Effects Linear Model From Excel ( =fdist(5.33,1,8) ), p = If we used a Type-I error rate of 0.05, we would reject the null hypothesis, and conclude the regression coefficient for each analysis would be significantly different from zero. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 42 of 54
44 Breakfast Cereal Example Can You Guess? Predicted Values Generalizing the concept of effect coding, we revisit the cereal experiment data. Recall that there were four different types of cereal boxes. A effect coding scheme would involve creation of three new columns, each representing observations from each box type. The choice of omitted category level is arbitrary. Any level can be omitted and you will get the same results...this is due to the equivalence of linear models under effect coding. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 43 of 54
45 One-Way Analysis of Variance Just as was the case for the example with two categories, a multiple category regression model with a single categorical independent variable has a direct link to a statistical test you may be familiar with. The regression model tests for mean differences across all pairings of category levels simultaneously. Testing for a difference between multiple groups equates to a one-way ANOVA model (for a model with a single categorical independent variable). Breakfast Cereal Example Can You Guess?

51 Hypothesis Test To test that all means are equal to each other (H 0 : µ 1 = µ 2 =... = µ k ) against the hypothesis that at least one mean differs (H 1 : At least one µ µ ), called an omnibus test, the same hypothesis test from before can be used: y 2 = SS res = SS reg = = R 2 = / = Breakfast Cereal Example Can You Guess? Predicted Values Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 49 of 54

Predicted Values From Excel ( =fdist(19.803,3,16) ), p = If we used a Type-I error rate of 0.05, we would reject the null hypothesis, and conclude that at least one regression coefficient for this analysis would be significantly different from zero. Having a regression coefficient of zero means having zero difference between the mean of one category and the grand mean. Having all regression coefficients of zero means absolutely no difference between any of the means (all means are equal to the grand mean). Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 50 of 54
53 For a categorical independent variable, a statistically significant R 2 means a rejection of the null hypothesis: H 0 : µ 1 = µ 2 =... = µ g Note that rejection simply means that at least one of the above = signs is truly a. To determine which means are not equal, one of the multiple comparison procedures must be applied. Concerns Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 51 of 54
54 Comparison Concerns The topic of multiple comparisons brings up a wealth of concerns, both from philosophical and statistical points of view. Concerns Most concerns are centered around the potential for an exponential number of post-hoc comparisons, for g groups: ( ) g 2 The phrase capitalization on chance is frequently used to describe many concerns. Even with these concerns, most people still use multiple comparisons for information regarding their analysis. Like most other statistical techniques, know the limitations of a technique is often as important as knowing the results of a technique. Lecture #10-11/5/2008 Slide 52 of 54
55 Final Thought Regression with categorical variables can be accomplished by coding schemes. Differing ways of coding (or inclusion of certain coded column vectors) may change the interpretation of the model parameters, but will not change the overall fit of the model.
