The document has notes on Regression plus and an example. I want you to use these formulas to help me through the questions of this specific example in the screenshot. What is the SSregression?

What is the SSregression?

Solution

To calculate the SSregression (Sum of Squares for the Regression Model) for the example in your screenshot, we use the relationship provided between the correlation coefficient, standard deviations, and mean values. Here's the process step-by-step:

  1. Recall the Regression Formula for SSregressionSS_{regression}: SSregression=r2SStotalSS_{regression} = r^2 \cdot SS_{total}

  2. Find SStotalSS_{total}: Using the formula for SStotalSS_{total} with standard deviations (SDX,SDYSD_X, SD_Y) and sample sizes: SStotal=(YYˉ)2=Variance×(n1)SS_{total} = \sum (Y - \bar{Y})^2 = \text{Variance} \times (n-1)

    Given SDY=0.36SD_Y = 0.36, n=9n = 9: SStotal=(0.362)×(91)=0.1296×8=1.0368SS_{total} = (0.36^2) \times (9 - 1) = 0.1296 \times 8 = 1.0368

  3. Calculate r2r^2: The correlation coefficient r=0.24r = 0.24: r2=0.242=0.0576r^2 = 0.24^2 = 0.0576

  4. Calculate SSregressionSS_{regression}: Substitute into the formula: SSregression=r2SStotal=0.05761.0368=0.05975 (0.06)SS_{regression} = r^2 \cdot SS_{total} = 0.0576 \cdot 1.0368 = 0.05975 \ (\approx 0.06)

So, the SSregression for this example is approximately 0.06.

Let me know if you want further clarification or would like to work through related examples! Here are some additional questions for you:

  1. How does the total sum of squares (SStotalSS_{total}) relate to model and error sums of squares?
  2. Can you calculate the residual sum of squares (SSerrorSS_{error}) from this data?
  3. How does the correlation coefficient rr affect the variance explained by the model?
  4. What is the interpretation of the regression effect size R2R^2 in this case?
  5. Would this regression model be considered statistically significant based on an ANOVA F-test?

Tip: Always double-check sample sizes and variances when calculating SStotalSS_{total}, as these significantly influence the regression sums of squares!
