Re: Help! Avoiding Multiple Linear Regression

Whoever told you how to do this is completely wrong. For multiple regression, you must find all parameters simultaneously. This is because X1, X2, and X3 are NOT independent. Ken >I am told that I can solve for these three unknowns (B1, B2 and B3) by >doing simple linear regression to obtain "

Why would one wish to avoid multiple linear regression, which is so much more convenient than the sequence of simple linear regressions alluded to below? Two possible reasons occur to mind: (1) for the challenge of finding out how to do it (in which case I wouldn't want to spoil your fun!);

I am told that I can solve for these three unknowns (B1, B2 and B3) by doing simple linear regression to obtain "residuals"; from the residuals come the unknowns. For example, I know that with just two unknowns (B1 and B2) in: y = B0 + B1 * x1 + B2 * x2 + e I can obtain B1 after the followin

As a lab guide, SPSS for Windows Step by step is very good (authors: George and Mallery, publisher : Allyn and Bacon). There is also a very good book for psychologists: Tabachnick and Fidell, Using multivariate statistics. The only problem is that it does not have cluster analysis. At 14:29

John --   Sounds very interesting--   If you mean "classical" least-squares model, there are no assumptions involved in fitting least-squares. It's only the "statistics" assumptions that get added into the extra "assumptions".   PREDICTION is the important thing.  Compare the PREDICTIVE accu

The question of the advisability using a control chart for this kind of tracking may not be answerable in the affirmative. The viability of a control chart depends on measuring a representative sample of the population, whereas it appears that Lenin is interested in estimating the confidence l
