The Multiple Regression

Model
Idea: Examine the linear relationship between
1 dependent (Y) & 2 or more independent variables (Xi)
Multiple Regression Model with k Independent Variables:
Y-intercept
Population slopes
Random Error
Y 0 1X1 2 X2 k Xk
Chap 13-2
Multiple Regression Equation

The coefficients of the multiple regression model are
estimated using sample data
Multiple regression equation with k independent variables:
Estimated
(or predicted)
value of y
Estimated
intercept
Estimated slope coefficients
y i b0 b1x1i b2 x2i bk xki

In this chapter we will always use a computer to obtain the
regression slope coefficients and other regression
summary measures.

Standard Multiple Regression

Assumptions
The values xi and the error terms i are

independent
The error terms are random variables with

mean 0 and a constant variance, 2.
E[i ] 0 and E[i2 ] 2
for (i 1, ,n)
(The constant variance property is called

homoscedasticity)
Chap 13-5
Standard Multiple Regression

Assumptions
(continued)
The random error terms, i , are not correlated

with one another, so that
E[ i j ] 0
for all i j
It is not possible to find a set of numbers, c0,

c1, . . . , ck, such that
c0 c1x1i c 2 x2i cK xKi 0

(This is the property of no linear relation for
the Xjs)

Example:
2 Independent Variables
A distributor of frozen desert pies wants to
evaluate factors thought to influence demand
Dependent variable:
Pie sales (units per week)
Independent variables: Price (in $)
Advertising ($100s)

Adjusted Coefficient of
Determination, R 2
R2 never decreases when a new X variable is
added to the model, even if the new variable is
not an important predictor variable
This can be a disadvantage when comparing
models
What is the net effect of adding a new variable?
We lose a degree of freedom when a new X
variable is added
Did the new X variable add enough
explanatory power to offset the loss of one
degree of freedom?
Chap 13-16
Adjusted Coefficient of
Determination, R 2
(continued)
Used to correct for the fact that adding non-relevant

independent variables will still reduce the error sum of
squares
SSE / (n K 1)
R 1

2
(where n = sample size, K = number of independent variables)
Adjusted R2 provides a better comparison between

variables

The coefficient of multiple correlation is the correlation
between the predicted value and the observed value of
the dependent variable

Is the square root of the multiple coefficient of
determination
Used as another measure of the strength of the linear
relationship between the dependent variable and the
independent variables

Prediction
Given a population regression model
yi 0 1x1i 2 x 2i K xKi i (i 1,2,,n)

then given a new observation of a data point
(x1,n+1, x 2,n+1, . . . , x K,n+1)
the best linear unbiased forecast of ^yn+1 is
y n1 b0 b1x1,n1 b2 x 2,n1 bK xK,n1

It is risky to forecast for new X values outside the range of the data used
to estimate the model coefficients, because we do not have data to
support that the linear model extends beyond the observed range.

Using The Equation to Make

Predictions
Predict sales for a week in which the selling
price is $5.50 and advertising is $350:
