regression - How exactly does one “control for other variables ...
Residuals I assume that you have a basic understanding of the concept of residuals in regression analysis. Here is the Wikipedia explanation: " If one runs a regression on some data, then the deviations of the dependent variable observations from the fitted function are the residuals". What does 'under control' mean?
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?
Minimal number of points for a linear regression
What would be a "reasonable" minimal number of observations to look for a trend over time with a linear regression? what about fitting a quadratic model? I work with composite indices of inequality in health (SII, RII), and have only 4 waves of the survey, so 4 points (1997, 2001, 2004, 2008).
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 ...
Choosing variables to include in a multiple linear regression model
Is using correlation matrix to select predictors for regression correct? A correlation analysis is quite different to multiple regression, because in the latter case we need to think about "partialling out" (regression slopes show the relationship once other variables are taken into account), but a correlation matrix doesn't show this.
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 (and these can become large in fitting when there is collinearity) Lasso is useful as a shrinking of a selection of the coefficients.
When is it ok to remove the intercept in a linear regression model ...
Hence, if the sum of squared errors is to be minimized, the constant must be chosen such that the mean of the errors is zero.) In a simple regression model, the constant represents the Y-intercept of the regression line, in unstandardized form.
How to calculate pseudo-$R^2$ from R's logistic regression?
A somewhat related question was asked here, Logistic Regression: Which pseudo R-squared measure is the one to report (Cox & Snell or Nagelkerke)?.
How to derive the ridge regression solution? - Cross Validated
Consequently, the solution of the Normal equations will immediately become possible and it will rapidly become numerically stable as $\nu$ increases from $0$. This description of the process suggests some novel and creative approache s to addressing the problems Ridge Regression was designed to handle.
regression - Why do we say the outcome variable "is regressed on" the ...
The word "regressed" is used instead of "dependent" because we want to emphasise that we are using a regression technique to represent this dependency between x and y. So, this sentence "y is regressed on x" is the short format of: Every predicted y shall "be dependent on" a value of x through a regression technique.
