Correlation

Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.

Linear Correlation

A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.

Regression Analysis

Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…

Textbook Question

Chapter 12.12, Problem 12.127ACI

Arsenic in groundwater. Refer to the Environmental Science & Technology (January 2005) study of the reliability of a commercial kit to test for arsenic in groundwater, Exercise 12.16 (p. 701). Recall that you fit a first-order model for arsenic level (y) as a function of latitude (x₁), longitude (x₂), and depth (x₃) to data saved in the file. Conduct a residual analysis of the data. Based on the results, comment on each of the following:

a. assumption of mean error = 0
b. assumption of constant error variance
c. outliers
d. assumption of normally distributed errors
e. multicollinearity

Snowpacks contain a wide spectrum of pollutants thatmay represent environmental hazards. The article“Atmospheric PAH Deposition: Deposition Velocitiesand Washout Ratios” (J. of EnvironmentalEngineering, 2002: 186–195) focused on the depositionof polyaromatic hydrocarbons. The authors proposeda multiple regression model for relating depositionover a specified time period (y, in mg/m2) to tworather complicated predictors x1 (mg-sec/m3) and x2 (mg/m2), defined in terms of PAH air concentrations forvarious species, total time, and total amount of precipitation.Here is data on the species fluoranthene andcorresponding Minitab output:obs x1 x2 flth1 92017 .0026900 278.782 51830 .0030000 124.533 17236 .0000196 22.654 15776 .0000360 28.685 33462 .0004960 32.666 243500 .0038900 604.707 67793 .0011200 27.698 23471 .0006400 14.189 13948 .0004850 20.6410 8824 .0003660 20.6011 7699 .0002290 16.6112 15791 .0014100 15.0813 10239 .0004100 18.0514 43835 .0000960 99.7115 49793 .0000896 58.9716 40656…
