6 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 6 Introduction Regression analysis Regression analysis is a very valuable tool for a manager Regression can be used to Understand the relationship between variables Predict the value of one variable based on another variable Examples Determining best location for a new store Studying the effectiveness of advertising dollars in increasing sales volume

7 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 7 Introduction dependent variable The variable to be predicted is called the dependent variable response variable Sometimes called the response variable independent variable The value of this variable depends on the value of the independent variable explanatory predictor variable Sometimes called the explanatory or predictor variable Independent variable Dependent variable Independent variable = +

8 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 8 Scatter Diagram Graphing is a helpful way to investigate the relationship between variables scatter diagramscatter plot A scatter diagram or scatter plot is often used The independent variable is normally plotted on the X axis The dependent variable is normally plotted on the Y axis

11 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 11 Simple Linear Regression where Y = dependent variable (response) X = independent variable (predictor or explanatory)  0 = intercept (value of Y when X = 0)  1 = slope of the regression line  = random error Regression models are used to test if there is a relationship between variables (predict sales based on payroll) There is some random error that cannot be predicted

12 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 12 Simple Linear Regression True values for the slope and intercept are not known so they are estimated using sample data where Y = dependent variable (response) X = independent variable (predictor or explanatory) b 0 = intercept (value of Y when X = 0) b 1 = slope of the regression line ^

13 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 13 Triple A Construction Triple A Construction is trying to predict sales based on area payroll Y = Sales X = Area payroll The line chosen in Figure 4.1 is the one that minimizes the errors Error = (Actual value) – (Predicted value)

14 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 14 Least Squares Regression Errors can be positive or negative so the average error could be zero even though individual errors could be large. Least squares regression minimizes the sum of the squared errors.

15 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 15 Triple A Construction For the simple linear regression model, the values of the intercept and slope can be calculated using the formulas below

19 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 19 Measuring the Fit of the Regression Model Regression models can be developed for any variables X and Y How do we know the model is actually helpful in predicting Y based on X ? We could just take the average error, but the positive and negative errors would cancel each other out Three measures of variability are SST – Total variability about the mean SSE – Variability about the regression line SSR – Total variability that is explained by the model

24 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 24 Coefficient of Determination coefficient of determination The proportion of the variability in Y explained by regression equation is called the coefficient of determination The coefficient of determination is r 2 For Triple A Construction About 69% of the variability in Y is explained by the equation based on payroll ( X )

31 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 31 Using Computer Software for Regression Program 4.1D Correlation coefficient is called Multiple R in Excel

32 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 32 Assumptions of the Regression Model 1.Errors are independent 2.Errors are normally distributed 3.Errors have a mean of zero 4.Errors have a constant variance If we make certain assumptions about the errors in a regression model, we can perform statistical tests to determine if the model is useful A plot of the residuals (errors) will often highlight any glaring violations of the assumption

33 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 33 Residual Plots A random plot of residuals Figure 4.4A Error X

34 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 34 Residual Plots Nonconstant error variance Errors increase as X increases, violating the constant variance assumption Figure 4.4B Error X

35 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 35 Residual Plots Nonlinear relationship Errors consistently increasing and then consistently decreasing indicate that the model is not linear Errors consistently increasing and then consistently decreasing indicate that the model is not linear Figure 4.4C Error X

36 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 36 Estimating the Variance Errors are assumed to have a constant variance (  2 ), but we usually don’t know this mean squared error MSE It can be estimated using the mean squared error ( MSE ), s 2 where n = number of observations in the sample k = number of independent variables

37 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 37 Estimating the Variance For Triple A Construction We can estimate the standard deviation, s standard error of the estimatestandard deviation of the regression This is also called the standard error of the estimate or the standard deviation of the regression

38 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 38 Testing the Model for Significance When the sample size is too small, you can get good values for MSE and r 2 even if there is no relationship between the variables Testing the model for significance helps determine if the values are meaningful We do this by performing a statistical hypothesis test

39 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 39 Testing the Model for Significance We start with the general linear model no If  1 = 0, the null hypothesis is that there is no relationship between X and Y is The alternate hypothesis is that there is a linear relationship (  1 ≠ 0) If the null hypothesis can be rejected, we have proven there is a relationship We use the F statistic for this test

40 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 40 Testing the Model for Significance The F statistic is based on the MSE and MSR where k =number of independent variables in the model The F statistic is This describes an F distribution with degrees of freedom for the numerator = df 1 = k degrees of freedom for the denominator = df 2 = n – k – 1

41 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 41 Testing the Model for Significance If there is very little error, the MSE would be small and the F -statistic would be large indicating the model is useful If the F -statistic is large, the significance level ( p -value) will be low, indicating it is unlikely this would have occurred by chance So when the F -value is large, we can reject the null hypothesis and accept that there is a linear relationship between X and Y and the values of the MSE and r 2 are meaningful

42 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 42 Steps in a Hypothesis Test 1.Specify null and alternative hypotheses 2.Select the level of significance (  ). Common values are 0.01 and 0.05 3.Calculate the value of the test statistic using the formula

43 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 43 Steps in a Hypothesis Test 4.Make a decision using one of the following methods a)Reject the null hypothesis if the test statistic is greater than the F -value from the table in Appendix D. Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis: b)Reject the null hypothesis if the observed significance level, or p -value, is less than the level of significance (  ). Otherwise, do not reject the null hypothesis:

44 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 44 Triple A Construction Step 1. H 0 :  1 = 0(no linear relationship between X and Y ) H 1 :  1 ≠ 0(linear relationship exists between X and Y ) Step 2. Select  = 0.05 Step 3. Calculate the value of the test statistic

45 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 45 Triple A Construction Step 4. Reject the null hypothesis if the test statistic is greater than the F -value in Appendix D df 1 = k = 1 df 2 = n – k – 1 = 6 – 1 – 1 = 4 The value of F associated with a 5% level of significance and with degrees of freedom 1 and 4 is found in Appendix D F 0.05,1,4 = 7.71 F calculated = 9.09 Reject H 0 because 9.09 > 7.71

46 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 46 F = 7.71 0.05 9.09 Triple A Construction Figure 4.5 We can conclude there is a statistically significant relationship between X and Y The r 2 value of 0.69 means about 69% of the variability in sales ( Y ) is explained by local payroll ( X )

47 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 47 r 2 coefficient of determination The F-test determines whether or not there is a relationship between the variables. r 2 (coefficient of determination) is the best measure of the strength of the prediction relationship between the X and Y variables. Values closer to 1 indicate a strong prediction relationship. Good regression models have a low significance level for the F-test and high r 2 value.

48 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 48 Coefficient Hypotheses Statistical tests of significance can be performed on the coefficients. The null hypothesis is that the coefficient of X (i.e., the slope of the line) is 0 i.e., X is not useful in predicting Y P values are the observed significance level and can be used to test the null hypothesis.  Values less than 5% negate the null hypothesis and indicate that X is useful in predicting Y For a simple linear regression, the test of the regression coefficients gives the same information as the F-test.

49 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 49 Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Table When software is used to develop a regression model, an ANOVA table is typically created that shows the observed significance level ( p -value) for the calculated F value This can be compared to the level of significance (  ) to make a decision DFSSMSF SIGNIFICANCE Regression kSSR MSR = SSR / kMSR / MSEP ( F > MSR / MSE ) Residual n - k - 1 SSE MSE = SSE /( n - k - 1) Total n - 1 SST Table 4.4

50 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 50 ANOVA for Triple A Construction Because this probability is less than 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis of no linear relationship and conclude there is a linear relationship between X and Y Program 4.1D (partial) P ( F > 9.0909) = 0.0394

51 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 51 Multiple Regression Analysis Multiple regression models Multiple regression models are extensions to the simple linear model and allow the creation of models with several independent variables Y =  0 +  1 X 1 +  2 X 2 + … +  k X k +  where Y =dependent variable (response variable) X i = ith independent variable (predictor or explanatory variable)  0 =intercept (value of Y when all X i = 0)  I =coefficient of the ith independent variable k =number of independent variables  =random error

52 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 52 Multiple Regression Analysis To estimate these values, a sample is taken the following equation developed where =predicted value of Y b 0 =sample intercept (and is an estimate of  0 ) b i =sample coefficient of the ith variable (and is an estimate of  i )

53 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 53 Jenny Wilson Realty Jenny Wilson wants to develop a model to determine the suggested listing price for houses based on the size and age of the house where =predicted value of dependent variable (selling price) b 0 = Y intercept X 1 and X 2 =value of the two independent variables (square footage and age) respectively b 1 and b 2 =slopes for X 1 and X 2 respectively She selects a sample of houses that have sold recently and records the data shown in Table 4.5

56 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 56 Evaluating Multiple Regression Models Evaluation is similar to simple linear regression models The p -value for the F -test and r 2 are interpreted the same The hypothesis is different because there is more than one independent variable The F -test is investigating whether all the coefficients are equal to 0

57 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 57 Evaluating Multiple Regression Models To determine which independent variables are significant, tests are performed for each variable The test statistic is calculated and if the p -value is lower than the level of significance (  ), the null hypothesis is rejected

58 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 58 Jenny Wilson Realty The model is statistically significant The p-value for the F -test is 0.002 r 2 = 0.6719 so the model explains about 67% of the variation in selling price ( Y ) But the F -test is for the entire model and we can’t tell if one or both of the independent variables are significant By calculating the p -value of each variable, we can assess the significance of the individual variables Since the p-value for X 1 (square footage) and X 2 (age) are both less than the significance level of 0.05, both null hypotheses can be rejected

59 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 59 Binary or Dummy Variables Binarydummyindicator Binary (or dummy or indicator) variables are special variables created for qualitative data A dummy variable is assigned a value of 1 if a particular condition is met and a value of 0 otherwise The number of dummy variables must equal one less than the number of categories of the qualitative variable

60 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 60 Jenny Wilson Realty Jenny believes a better model can be developed if she includes information about the condition of the property X 3 = 1 if house is in excellent condition = 0 otherwise X 4 = 1 if house is in mint condition = 0 otherwise Two dummy variables are used to describe the three categories of condition No variable is needed for “good” condition since if both X 3 and X 4 = 0, the house must be in good condition

62 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 62 Jenny Wilson Realty Program 4.3 Model explains about 90% of the variation in selling price F -value indicates significance Low p -values indicate each variable is significant

63 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 63 Model Building The best model is a statistically significant model with a high r 2 and few variables As more variables are added to the model, the r 2 -value usually increases adjusted r 2 For this reason, the adjusted r 2 value is often used to determine the usefulness of an additional variable The adjusted r 2 takes into account the number of independent variables in the model When variables are added to the model, the value of r 2 can never decrease; however, the adjusted r 2 may decrease.

64 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 64 Model Building The formula for r 2 The formula for adjusted r 2 As the number of variables increases, the adjusted r 2 gets smaller unless the increase due to the new variable is large enough to offset the change in k

65 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 65 Model Building It is tempting to keep adding variables to a model to try to increase r 2 The adjusted r 2 will decrease if additional independent variables are not beneficial. As the number of variables ( k ) increases, n-k-1 decreases. This causes SSE/( n-k-1 ) to increase which in turn decreases the adjusted r 2 unless the extra variable causes a significant decrease in SSE The reduction in error (and SSE) must be sufficient to offset the change in k

66 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 66 Model Building In general, if a new variable increases the adjusted r 2, it should probably be included in the model In some cases, variables contain duplicate information collinear (e.g., monthly salary expenses and annual salary expenses) When two independent variables are correlated, they are said to be collinear (e.g., monthly salary expenses and annual salary expenses) multicollinearity When more than two independent variables are correlated, multicollinearity exists When multicollinearity is present, hypothesis tests for the individual coefficients are not valid but the model may still be useful

74 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 74 Cautions and Pitfalls If the assumptions are not met, the statistical test may not be valid Correlation does not necessarily mean causation Your annual salary and the price of cars may be correlated but one does not cause the other Multicollinearity makes interpreting coefficients problematic, but the model may still be good Using a regression model beyond the range of X is questionable, the relationship may not hold outside the sample data

75 © 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. 4 – 75 Cautions and Pitfalls t -tests for the intercept ( b 0 ) may be ignored as this point is often outside the range of the model A linear relationship may not be the best relationship, even if the F -test returns an acceptable value A nonlinear relationship can exist even if a linear relationship does not Just because a relationship is statistically significant doesn't mean it has any practical value
