Dec 17, 2024 · This kind of regression seems to be much more difficult. I've read several sources, but the calculus for general quantile regression is going over my head. My question is this: How can I …
Multivariable vs multivariate regression - Cross Validated
Feb 2, 2020 · Multivariable regression is any regression model where there is more than one explanatory variable. For this reason it is often simply known as "multiple regression". In the simple …
What's the difference between correlation and simple linear regression ...
Aug 1, 2013 · Note that one perspective on the relationship between regression & correlation can be discerned from my answer here: What is the difference between doing linear regression on y with x …
regression - When should I use lasso vs ridge? - Cross Validated
Ridge regression is useful as a general shrinking of all coefficients together. It is shrinking to reduce the variance and over fitting. It relates to the prior believe that coefficient values shouldn't be too large …
How should outliers be dealt with in linear regression analysis?
What statistical tests or rules of thumb can be used as a basis for excluding outliers in linear regression analysis? Are there any special considerations for multilinear regression?
regression - What is residual standard error? - Cross Validated
A quick question: Is "residual standard error" the same as "residual standard deviation"? Gelman and Hill (p.41, 2007) seem to use them interchangeably.
When conducting multiple regression, when should you center your ...
Jun 5, 2012 · In some literature, I have read that a regression with multiple explanatory variables, if in different units, needed to be standardized. (Standardizing consists in subtracting the mean and dividin...
regression - When is R squared negative? - Cross Validated
Also, for OLS regression, R^2 is the squared correlation between the predicted and the observed values. Hence, it must be non-negative. For simple OLS regression with one predictor, this is equivalent to …
correlation - What is the difference between linear regression on y ...
The Pearson correlation coefficient of x and y is the same, whether you compute pearson(x, y) or pearson(y, x). This suggests that doing a linear regression of y given x or x given y should be the ...
