Problems on Regression and Correlation Prepared by: Dr. Elias Dabeet Q1. Dr. Green (a pediatrician) wanted to test if there is a correlation between the number of meals consumed by a child per day (X) and the child weight (Y). Included you will find a table containing the information on 5 of the children. Use the table to answer the following: Child Number of meals consumed per day (X) child weight (Y) X² Y² XY Ahmad 11 8 121 64 88 Ali 16 11 256 121 176 Osama 12 9 144

The Linear Regression Project By Samantha LeStourgeon Fall 2016: Term Project – STA2023 Professor Santra What is the relationship between the amounts of time spent playing video games and your amount of sleep? Introduction Nearly every day, you can read articles about urbanized countries throughout the world, with issues or concerns arising from individuals playing video games for excessive amounts of time. Individuals form addictions to a surge in excessive or violent behaviors, commonly

Using Logit and Linear regression, we attempted to understand factors that influence students to leave their college or University, their average GPA, and graduating in four years. We tailor our study to first-generation students, in relation to PoC students. Because much of the differences in college success have been linked to social class and economic background we have controlled for family income, as well as race, level of cultural capital and student’s use of university services. Our analysis

STATISTICS FOR MGT DECISIONS FINAL EXAMINATION Forecasting – Simple Linear Regression Applications Interpretation and Use of Computer Output (Results) NAME SECTION A – REGRESSION ANALYSIS AND FORECASTING 1) The management of an international hotel chain is in the process of evaluating the possible sites for a new unit on a beach resort. As part of the analysis, the management is interested in evaluating the relationship between the distance of a hotel from the beach and the hotel’s

wanted to use linear regression and SVM. This was because many researchers had used these techniques. When using linear regression we realised that our data needed transforming as the linear regression assumptions were violated. The Box Cox transform we used transformed our dependent variables and worked well. The assumptions of the linear regression were met. The forward selection procedure used helped identify which variables were good predictors in the models. Linear regression has certain assumptions

Determinants of the Level of Imports Across Countries Presented to: Prof. Angela D. Nalica School of Statistics Faculty University of the Philippines, Diliman In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of Statistics 136: Regression Analysis Presented by: Mary Ann A. Boter Michael Daniel C. Lucagbo Krystalyn Candy C. Mago April 9, 2009 Abstract The level of a country’s imports measures its participation and competitiveness in the international market. As such, it

that the regression assumptions were not going to be satisfied and that our dependent variable needed transforming. Looking at the plot in figure 8, we could see that the residuals of the predictions were not following a straight line. This indicated that linear regression was not suitable for the data. This led us to transforming the worldwide box office revenue variable as shown in Table 9. Figures 4-7 showed that the transformed variable made a huge difference. The linear regression assumptions

tests of statistical significance (Lauristen & Hiemer, 2009). Bivariate correlations and linear regression are common methods of estimating association between variables, linear trend (slope), and statistical significance in time series data (Baumer & Lauristen, 2010; Hashima & Finkelhor, 1999; Lauristen, Rezey & Heimer, 2013). The many caveats associated with time series data, trend analysis, and linear regression were accounted for preliminary to analysis. It is common for time series data to be highly
