REGRESSIONANALYSIS(y,x)


  • is the set of dependent variables .
  • is the set of independent variables.


Description

  • This function is calculating the Regression analysis of the given data.
  • This analysis is very useful for the analyzation of large amounts of data and making predictions.
  • This analysis give the result in three table values.
  1. Regression statistics table.
  2. ANOVA table.
  3. Residual output.
  • 1.Regression statistics :
  • It contains multiple R, R Square, Adjusted R Square, Standard Error and observations.
  • R square gives the fittness of the data with the regression line.
  • That value is closer to 1 is the better the regression line fits the data.
  • Standard Error refers to the estimated standard deviation of the error term. It is called the standard error of the regression.
  • 2.ANOVA table:
  • ANOVA is the analysis of variance.
  • This table splits in to two components which is Residual and Regression.
  • Total sum of squares= Residual (error) sum of squares+ Regression (explained) sum of squares.
  • Also this table gives the probability, T stat, significance of F and P.
  • When the significance of F is < 0.05, then the result for the given data is statistically significant.
  • When the significance of F is > 0.05, then better to stop using this set of independent variables.
  • Then remove a variable with a high P-value and returnun the regression until Significance F drops below 0.05.
  • So the Significance of P value should be <0.05.
  • This table containing the regression coefficient values also.
  • 3.Residual output:
  • The residuals show you how far away the actual data points are fom the predicted data points.
