The Lnear Regresson Model; Estmatng Model Parameters

2 . The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters Objectve: Model the relatonshp between a response or dependent varable (Y) and one predctor or ndependent varable (x). Examples: For consumer purchase decsons, let Y = market share and x = consumer s degree of top of mnd brand awareness (% of consumers who name ths brand frst). In beta analyss, let Y = return on a securty (IBM) over a perod of tme and x = return on the market (DJIA). For a partcular corporaton, let Y = sales revenue for a regon at the year s end and x = advertsng expendtures for the year. Y s recorded n tens of thousands of dollars and x s recorded n thousands of dollars. In all three examples, can x be used to predct Y?. The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters Consder the example where Y = sales revenue and x = advertsng expendtures. The data follow: Regon Sales Adv Exp A B C D E F G H I J 6 a) Is there a lnear relatonshp between Sales and Advertsng Expendtures?. The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters A scatterplot of the data follows: Scatterplot for Sales vs. Advertsng Expendtures Sales 6 Adv Exp The scatterplot s used to assess whether or not there s a lnear relatonshp between Sales and Advertsng Expendtures. 6

3 . The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters Is a lnear relatonshp feasble? From the scatterplot, t appears that as Advertsng Expendtures ncrease, Sales ncrease lnearly. The relatonshp between Sales and Advertsng Expendtures s an example of a statstcal relatonshp between varables. If a straght lne s ft to the ponts, all the ponts would not fall on the straght lne. There are other factors besdes Advertsng Expendtures that affect Sales. An example of a determnstc relatonshp s: Total Costs = Fxed Costs + Varable Costs 7. The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters Ftted Model The general expresson for the lne to be ft s: yˆ = ˆ β + ˆ β x 0 Resduals are predcton errors n the sample. The resdual for an observaton ( x, y ) s the dfference between the actual value of sales and the predcted value: = y ( ˆ ˆ β 0 + βx ) Resdual = y ˆ y How should the ftted lne be determned? 8. The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters Possble crtera for fttng a lne passng through ( x, y) : n. Mnmze the sum of the resduals or mn ( y yˆ ) = Defcency: An nfnte number of lnes satsfy ths crteron.. Mnmze the sum of the absolute value of the resduals or n mn y yˆ = Defcency: Procedure not avalable n most statstcal software.. Mnmze the sum of the squared resduals or n mn ( y yˆ ) = Crteron () s known as the Method of Least Squares. 9

Estmatng Model Parameters The least-squares regresson equaton s: Yˆ = x The y-ntercept The Slope Coeffcent Notce the smlarty to the pont-slope formula for a straght lne: y = mx + b In regresson, the terms are reversed.. The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters Example (Sales vs. Advertsng Expendtures): c) State the equaton of the least-squares regresson lne by usng Mntab. The Mntab output follows: Regresson Analyss: Sales versus Adv Exp The regresson equaton s Sales = Adv Exp Predctor Coef SE Coef T P Constant Adv Exp S = R-Sq = 7.% R-Sq(adj) = 69.0% The equaton of the ftted lne s: Sales ^ = Adv Exp.

6 . The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters Example (Sales vs. Advertsng Expendtures): e) Interpret the slope of the ftted lne n the context of ths problem Sales ncrease by 0.7 unts for each unt ncrease n Advertsng Expendture f) Predct sales for a regon that has advertsng expendtures of unts. yˆ = (.0) =. 86 unts 6.

7 . The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters Correspondng to the ftted model s the populaton model: y Error E( Y) = β 0 + βx Unknown The probablty dstrbuton for Y at x= Error 0 6 x 9. The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters Propertes of the populaton model At each value of x, there s a probablty dstrbuton of Y values. The means, E(Y), of these probablty dstrbutons le on a straght lne, where β0 s the ntercept, and β s the slope The expresson for E(Y) s: E( Y) = β0 + βx, or Y = β + β x + ε 0 where ε s the error or dfference between Y and E(Y ) 0. The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters Assumptons. The relaton s n fact lnear, so that the errors all have expected value zero; E ( ε ) = 0 for all.. The errors all have the same varance; Var ( ε ) = σ ε for all.. The errors are ndependent of each other. The ftted lne or model s an estmate of the populaton model

8 σ ε. The Lnear Regresson Model. Estmatng Model Parameters s also unknown and needs to be estmated. Snce resduals estmate errors, use the varaton n the resduals to estmate the varaton n the errors. There are constrants on the resduals: resdual = 0 ( x )( resdual ) = 0 For the Sales vs. Advertsng Expendtures example, these constrants are shown on the next slde. The resduals have (n-) degrees of freedom.. The Lnear Regresson Model.

Estmatng Model Parameters How s ths useful? Lke any other standard devaton, the resdual standard devaton may be nterpreted by the Emprcal Rule. About 9% of the predcton errors wll fall wthn +/- standard devatons of the mean error; the mean error s always 0 n the least-squares regresson model. Therefore, a resdual standard devaton of 0.8 means that about 9% of the predcton errors wll be less than +/- (0.8) = +/-.66 [Hldebrand, Ott and Gray] 6. Estmatng Model Parameters A hgh-leverage pont s one for whch the x-value s, n some sense, far away from most of the x-values. Most of x-values y x A hgh leverage pont 7

10 . Estmatng Model Parameters MINITAB flags a hgh leverage pont wth an X symbol. The determnaton s made by lookng at the leverage, denoted by h, for each observaton: h = + n ( x x) n ( x x) j= Some lmts are bult n: / n h ; Squared devaton of a partcular x Varaton n all x s relatve to x h = ; h = n If h > 6 / n, ths observaton s flagged wth an X symbol. Why 6/n? 6 /n = h n / = 8. Estmatng Model Parameters Example (Sales vs. Advertsng Expendtures): j) Fnd the leverage for regon J where the pont s (6, ). h J = (6. ) Is ths a hgh leverage pont?

Estmatng Model Parameters Example (Sales vs. Advertsng Expendtures): Regon G has just sent an emal statng that they reported ncorrect values for sales and advertsng expendtures. The bad news s that they actually spent $0,000 (0 unts) on Advertsng. The good news s that Sales were actually $80,000 (8 unts). Is the revsed data pont for Regon G a hgh leverage pont? (0.9) h G = + = 0.6 > The pont (0,8) s a hgh leverage pont. The Mntab output follows.. Estmatng Model Parameters The regresson output for the revsed data follows.

Estmatng Model Parameters A hgh leverage pont s not necessarly Bad. A hgh leverage pont has the potental to alter the ftted lne. For the Example, the potental was not realzed. For the orgnal data, the slope was 0.7. For the revsed data, the slope s

13 . Estmatng Model Parameters Standardzed Resduals A resdual s standardzed as follows: SR = = resdual std. dev. of resdual resdual sε h A Standardzed Resdual (SR) depends on the resdual and the leverage. 7. Estmatng Model Parameters A requrement s that the errors n the populaton regresson model be normally dstrbuted. Snce the resduals estmate the errors, ths mples the resduals should be normally dstrbuted. Standardzed Resduals can be vewed as values of a standard normal random varable.

Estmatng Model Parameters Hgh Influence Ponts A hgh leverage pont that also corresponds to a y-outler s a hgh nfluence pont. Example (Sales vs. Advertsng Expendtures): Regon G just can t get ther act together. Regon G has just sent another emal statng that they reported ncorrect values agan for sales and advertsng expendtures. The bad news s that they spent $0000 (0 unts) on Advertsng. The really bad news s that Sales were stll only $0,000 ( unts). Does ths result n a hgh nfluence pont for Regon G? From the Mntab output that follows, the answer s yes.

26 . Correlaton The coeffcent of determnaton, R, ranges from 0 to The coeffcent of correlaton, denoted by r, s obtaned from R : r = R where the sgn (+,-) of r s the same as the sgn of. βˆ 76. Correlaton r takes on values from - to + Correlaton measures the strength of the lnear relatonshp between x and Y. The coeffcent of determnaton (R ) and the coeffcent of correlaton (r) have very dfferent nterpretatons. 77. Correlaton In correlaton, both varables are on an equal footng. It does not matter whch s labeled x and whch s labeled Y. The objectve s to measure the assocaton between x and Y. Ths s n contrast to regresson analyss, where the objectve s to use x to predct Y. 78

27 . Correlaton Example (Sales vs. Advertsng Expendtures) r = R = 0.7 = r has a postve sgn because the slope of postve: ˆ β = +0.7 ˆβ s Warnng: Correlaton does not mply causaton. 79. Correlaton r denotes the sample correlaton coeffcent. r estmates the populaton correlaton (ρ) Hypothess testng on ρ requres certan assumptons. In regresson analyss, the values of x are predetermned constants In correlaton analyss, the values of x are randomly selected. In correlaton analyss, the x values also come from a normal dstrbuton. More precsely, the random sample of (x,y) values s drawn from a bvarate normal dstrbuton. 80. Correlaton To test H 0 : ρ = 0, the test statstc s t = r where t has (n ) d.f. n r The rejecton regon depends on the form of H a : If H a : ρ > 0 reject H 0 f t > t α,n- If H a : ρ < 0 reject H 0 f t < -t α,n- If H a : ρ 0 reject H 0 f t > t α/,n- 8
