1 Inferences for Regression

2 An Example: Body Fat and Waist Size Looking at the relationship between % body fat and waist size (in inches). Here is a scatterplot of our data set:

3 Remembering Regression In regression, we want to model the relationship between two quantitative variables, one the predictor and the other the response. To do that, we imagine an idealized regression line, which assumes that the means of the distributions of the response variable fall along the line even though individual values are scattered around it. Now we d like to know what the regression model can tell us beyond the individuals in the study. We want to make confidence intervals and test hypotheses about the slope of the regression line.

4 The Population and the Sample When we found a confidence interval for a mean, we could imagine a single, true underlying value for the mean. When we tested whether two means were equal, we imagined a true underlying difference. What does it mean to do inference for regression?

5 The Population and the Sample We know better than to think that even if we knew every population value, the data would line up perfectly on a straight line. In our sample, there s a whole distribution of %body fat for men with 38-inch waists:

6 The Population and the Sample This is true at each waist size. We could depict the distribution of %body fat at different waist sizes like this:

7 The Population and the Sample The model assumes that the means of the distributions of %body fat for each waist size fall along the line even though the individuals are scattered around it. The model is not a perfect description of how the variables are associated, but it may be useful. If we had all the values in the population, we could find the slope and intercept of the idealized regression line explicitly by using least squares.

8 Simple Linear Regression Model Dependent Variable Population Y intercept Population Slope Coefficient Independent Variable Random Error term Y i β 0 β X 1 i ε i Linear component Random Error component

9 Simple Linear Regression Model Y Y i β 0 β X 1 i ε i Observed Value of Y for X i Predicted Value of Y for X i ε i Random Error for this X i value Slope = β 1 Intercept = β 0 X i X

10 Simple Linear Regression Equation (Prediction Line) The simple linear regression equation provides an estimate of the population regression line Estimated (or predicted) Y value for observation i Estimate of the regression intercept Estimate of the regression slope Ŷ i b 0 b 1 X i Value of X for observation i

11 Assumptions and Conditions 1. Linearity Assumption: Straight Enough Condition: Check the scatterplot the shape must be linear or we can t use regression at all.

12 Assumptions and Conditions 1. Linearity Assumption: If the scatterplot is straight enough, we can go on to some assumptions about the errors. If not, stop here, or consider re-expressing the data to make the scatterplot more nearly linear. Check the Quantitative Data Condition. The data must be quantitative for this to make sense.

13 Assumptions and Conditions 2. Independence Assumption: Randomization Condition: the individuals are a representative sample from the population. Check the residual plot the residuals should appear to be randomly scattered.

14 Assumptions and Conditions 3. Equal Variance Assumption: Does The Plot Thicken? Condition: Residual plot to check the assumption about error terms have common variance Homoscedasticity: same variance; Heteroscedasticity: different variance.

15 Assumptions and Conditions 4. Normal Population Assumption: Nearly Normal Condition Normal probability plot to check the assumption about error terms have normal distribution Outlier Condition: Check for outliers.

16 Assumptions and Conditions If all four assumptions are true, the idealized regression model would look like this: At each value of x there is a distribution of y-values that follows a Normal model, and each of these Normal models is centered on the line and has the same standard deviation.

17 Intuition About Regression Inference We expect any sample to produce a b 1 whose expected value is the true slope, β 1. What about its standard deviation? What aspects of the data affect how much the slope varies from sample to sample?

18 Intuition About Regression Inference Spread around the line: Less scatter around the line means the slope will be more consistent from sample to sample. The spread around the line is measured with the residual standard deviation s e. You can always find s e in the regression output, often just labeled s.

19 Intuition About Regression Inference Spread around the line: Less scatter around the line means the slope will be more consistent from sample to sample.

20 Intuition About Regression Inference Spread of the x s: A large standard deviation of x provides a more stable regression.

21 Intuition About Regression Inference Sample size: Having a larger sample size, n, gives more consistent estimates.

22 Standard Error for the Slope Three aspects of the scatterplot affect the standard error of the regression slope: spread around the line, s e spread of x values, s x sample size, n. The formula for the standard error (which you will probably never have to calculate by hand) is: SE b 1 s e n1 s x

23 Sampling Distribution for Regression Slopes When the conditions are met, the standardized estimated regression slope t 1 1 follows a Student s t-model with n 2 degrees of freedom. b SE b 1

24 Sampling Distribution for Regression Slopes We estimate the standard error with se SE b1 n1 sx where: s e y yˆ 2 n 2 n is the number of data values s x is the ordinary standard deviation of the x-values.

25 Regression Inference A null hypothesis of a zero slope questions the entire claim of a linear relationship between the two variables often just what we want to know. To test H 0 : β 1 = 0, we find t n2 b 0 1 SEb 1 and continue as we would with any other t-test. The formula for a confidence interval for β 1 is 1 n2 1 b t SE b

30 Textbook Body Fat Example: Excel Output The regression equation is: Body Fat(%) (weight)

31 Textbook Body Fat Example: Interpretation of b o Body Fat(%) (weight) b 0 ( ) is the estimated average value of body fat(%) when the value of weight(lb) is zero (if weight = 0 is in the range of observed X values) Because we can t have a weight of 0, b 0 has no practical application

32 Textbook Body Fat Example: Interpreting b 1 Body Fat(%) (weight) b 1 (0.2499) estimates the change in the average value of body fat(%) as a result of a one-unit increase in weight(lb) Here, b 1 = tells us that the mean value of body fat(%) increases by , on average, for each additional one pound increase in weight

33 Inferences About the Slope: t Test Example From Excel output: H 0 : β 1 = 0 H 1 : β 1 0 Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept X Variable b 1 S b1 t STAT b1 β S b

34 Inferences About the Slope: t Test Example H 0 : β 1 = 0 H 1 : β 1 0 From Excel output: Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Intercept X Variable Decision: Reject H 0, since p-value < α=0.05 p-value There is sufficient evidence that weight is related to % Body Fat.
