Unit goals — main aim?
Framework for statistical analyses using GLM.
Assessment tasks — components?
Data-analysis task, practical project, final exam.
Regression — definition?
Predicts a numeric outcome y from predictors x.
Residual — what?
Difference between observed y and predicted $\hat{y}\
R2 — meaning?
Proportion of y variance explained by the model.
Simple linear regression — equation?
$\hat{y} = ext{intercept} + ext{slope} imes x$.
Model fit — goal?
Minimize residual variation, maximize explained variation.
Regression assumptions — key?
Linearity, independence, normal residuals, homoscedasticity.
Multiple regression — workflow step?
Univariate summaries, bivariate plots, fit full then reduced model.
Data screening — purpose?
Check distributions, outliers, collinearity.
Collinearity — indicator?
High correlation ($|r| > 0.7$ or $>0.8$) among predictors.
VIF — what?
Variance inflation factor; measures multicollinearity.
Residual independence — check?
Residuals should show no systematic pattern over observations.
Normal residuals — check?
Normal probability plot and Shapiro-Wilk test.
Homoscedasticity — meaning?
Constant residual spread across predicted values.
Linearity — assessment?
Residuals vs predicted plot and residuals vs each predictor.
Sample size rule — minimum?
n > 5p; preferably n > 10p.
Collinearity heuristics — when?
$|r| > 0.7$ possible, $|r| > 0.8$ definite.
Tolerance — relation?
Tolerance = 1 / VIF; <0.1 indicates concern.
Regression diagnostics — purpose?
Check residual independence, normality, homoscedasticity, linearity.
