the linear (у = а + bx);

the parabolic (y = a + bx + cx2);

the exponential (y = a * exp(bx));

the power (y = a*x^b);

the hyperbolic (y = b/x + a);

the logarithmic (y = b * 1n(x) + a);

the exponential (y = a * b^x).

Consider the example to the construction of a regression model in

Excel and the interpretation of the results. Consider the linear
regression type.

The task. On 6 enterprises was analyzed the average monthly salary

and the number of employees who retired. It is necessary to determine
the dependence of the number of employees who retired from the
average salary.

The linear regression model is as follows:

У = а0 + а1х1 +…+акхк.

Where a – are the regression coefficients, x – the influencing variables,

k – the number of factors.

In our example as Y serves the indicator of employees who retired.

The influence factor – is the wage (x).

In Excel, there are built-in features with which you can calculate the
parameters of the linear regression model. But faster it will make the
add-on «analysis package».

Activate the powerful analytical tool:

Push the button «FILE»-«Options»-«Add-Ins».

Below the drop-down list in the «Manage:» field is the

inscription «Excel Add-Ins» (if it is not, click on the
checkbox to the right and select). And click the «Go»
button. Hit.

The list of available add-ins. Select the «Analysis

ToolPak» and click OK.

After activating the superstructure will be available on the «DATA» tab.

We direct regression analysis now.

Open the «Data Analysis» tool menu. Select the

«Regression».

Open the menu for selecting the input values and output
parameters (which display the result). In the fields for the
specify range of the input data, which describes the
options (Y) and influence the factor (X). The rest can not
fill.

After you click OK, the program will display the

calculations on a new page (you can choose the interval
to be displayed on the current page or assign to the
output to a new book).

Firstly of all pay attention to the R-squared and the ratios.

R-square – is the coefficient of the determination. In our example –

there is 0. 755, or 75. 5%. This means that the model parameters
estimated at 75. 5% explains the addiction between the parameters
whixh are studied. The higher the coefficient of determination, the
better is the model. Good - above 0. 8. Bad - less than 0. 5 (such an
analysis can hardly be considered reasonable). In our example – is
«not bad».

64. 1428 ratio shows how will be Y, if all the variables in the model will
be equal to 0. That is, the value of the analyzed parameter is
influenced by other factors, which has not been described in the
model.

-0. 16285 ratio shows the weight of the variable X to Y. That is, the
average monthly salary in the range of the model affects the number of
resignations from the weight -0. 16285 (this is a small effect). The sign

«-» indicates to a negative effect: the higher the salary, the less
dismissed. That is true.

CORRELATION ANALYS IN EXCEL

The correlation analysis helps to establish whether there is between
the indices in one or two samples of the connection. For example, the
time between the time machine and repair costs, equipment costs and
operation duration, height and weight of children, etc.

If there is the connection is available, whether the increment of one the

increase parameter (positive correlation) or the decreasing (negative)
of the other one. The correlation analysis helps to the analyst to
determine whether it is possible for the value of one indicator to predict
the potential value of the other one.

The correlation coefficient is denoted by r. It ranges from +1 to -1. The

classification of correlations for different areas will be different. If the
value of the coefficient is 0 linear dependence between samples does
not exist.

Consider how with helping Excel tools to find the correlation

coefficient.

To find the paired coefficients applied CORREL function.

The task: To determine whether there is the interrelation between the

operating time of the lathe and the costing of its maintenance.

Put the cursor in any cell and click the fx button.

In «Statistics» category select to the function

=CORREL().

The argument «Array 1» – is the first range of the values -

while the machine: A2: A14.

The argument «Array 2» – is the second range of values -

the cost of repairs: B2: B14. Click OK.

To determine the type of connection, it is necessary to see the

absolute number of the coefficient (each a scale has for each field).

Note. For the correlation analysis of several parameters (more 2) it is more

convenient to use the «Data Analysis» (add-on «Analysis Package»). In
the list you need to choose and mark correlation array. That`s all. These
coefficients are appeared in the correlation matrix.

THE REGRESSION ANALYSIS

In practice, these two techniques are often used together.

The example:

Build to the correlation field: «INSERT» - «Charts» -

«Scatter» (enables to compare pairs). The value range –
there are all the numeric dates in the table.

Click with the left mouse button on any point on the chart.
Then right. In the menu, select «Add Trendline».

Assign the parameters for the line. Type – is «Linear».

Below – «Display equation on chart» and «Display R-
squared value on chart».

Done:

They are now visible and regression analysis dates.
