Multiple Linear Regression:
Introduction
Next
Regression Analysis is the
estimation of the linear relationship between a
dependent variable and one or more independent
variables or covariates.
(from SPSS Help)

Introduction
This tutorial will use multiple regression to
determine if the year of matriculation, total
cumulative undergraduate GPAs, and
MCAT scores can be used to predict how
medical students will score on the US
Medical Licensing Exam (Part 2).

Statistics
In SPSS, you can
display information by
right-clicking, but
right-clicking doesnt
work in this tutorial.
To see what right-
clicking would show,
left-click the box for Part and partial correlations.
22
Statistics
For this tutorial, click
the checkbox for
Part and partial
correlations.
23
Statistics
Statistics for the Model
fit and Estimates for
Regression Coefficients
will be produced by
default.

Click the checkbox for
Descriptives.
24
Statistics
This tutorial requests
no additional
statistics, so click the
Continue button.
25
Requesting Plots
You can also
request several
different plots.
Click the Plots
button.
26
In the box labeled
Standardized
Residual Plots, first
click the checkbox
for Histogram,
Standardized Residual Plots
27
then click the box
for Normal probability
plot.
In the box labeled

This tutorial requests
none of the other
plots available in the
Linear Regression
procedure. Click the
Continue button.

The independent variables can
be entered into the analysis
using five different methods.
This tutorial includes the Enter
and Stepwise methods.
Choose one of the following:
Method of Variable Entry
Enter Stepwise

Enter is the default
method of variable
entry. Click the OK
button to run the
Multiple Linear
Regression procedure.
