Outline
•Linear Regression Analysis
Relations Between Variables
•Functional Relation
•Statistical Relation
Functional Relation
•A functional relation between two variables is a perfect
relation where the value of the dependent variable is
uniquely determined by the value of the independent
variable.
•It is expressed by a mathematical formula.
Functional Relation
Statistical Relation
•A statistical relation between two variables is a relation
where the value of the dependent variable is NOT
uniquely determined when the level of the independent
variable is specified.
•If the values of a variable Y increase or decrease when the
values of a variable X change, there is a statistical
relationship between Variable Y and Variable X.
•It is not an exact relation.
• Examples:
• The relation between age and income
• The relation between income and expenditures
Statistical Relation
Scatter Plot
•A scatter plot (aka scatter chart, scatter graph) uses dots to
represent values for two different numeric variables.
•The position of each dot on the horizontal and vertical axis
indicates values for an individual data point.
•Scatter plots are used to observe relationships between
variables.
Scatter Plot
Regression Analysis
•Regression analysis provides a method of estimating an
average relation (often linear) between two or more variables.
•Regressor: The variable that forms the basis of estimation or
prediction (aka predictor variable or independent variable).
•Regressand: The variable whose value depend on the
independent variable is called a regressand (aka response
variable, predictand variable or dependent variable).
Regression Models
•Regression models describe the relationship between
variables by fitting a line to the observed data.
•Linear regression models use a straight line, while logistic
and nonlinear regression models use a curved line.
• Regression allows you to estimate how a dependent variable
changes as the independent variable(s) change.

Simple Linear Regression: Example
Residuals
- The residuals are the differences between the observed and
predicted values.
- It measures the distance from the regression line (predicted
value) and the actual observed value. In other words, it
helps us to measure error, or how well our regression line
“fits” our data.
Outliers
R-squared (Goodness of Fit)
- After fitting a linear regression model, you need to
determine how well the model fits the data.
- R-squared is a goodness-of-fit measure for linear
regression models.
- This statistic indicates the percentage of the variance in
the dependent variable that the independent variables
explain collectively (or that is predictable from the
independent variable).
- R-squared measures the strength of the relationship
between your model and the dependent variable on a
convenient 0 – 100% scale.
- It is also called Coefficient of Determination.

Y= 30.08X – 159.4
R2 = 0.9168
yi = Actual Value
y-hat = Predicted Value
y-bar = Actual Mean
Correlation
- The direction and strength of pairwise relationships
between two or more numeric variables.
- -1: Perfect negative correlation. The variables tend to
move in opposite directions (i.e., when one variable
increases, the other variable decreases).
- 0: No correlation. The variables do not have a relationship
with each other.
- 1: Perfect positive correlation. The variables tend to
move in the same direction (i.e., when one variable
increases, the other variable also increases).
Correlation
Correlation
r = 0.9575
How to Interpret Correlation?
- Strength: The greater the absolute value of the correlation
coefficient, the stronger the relationship.
- Direction: The sign of the correlation coefficient
represents the direction of the relationship.
How to Interpret Correlation?
- The correlation, denoted by r, measures the amount of
linear association between two variables.
- r is always between -1 and 1 inclusive.
- The R-squared value, denoted by R2, is the square of the
correlation. It measures the proportion of variation in
the dependent variable that can be attributed to the
independent variable.
- The R-squared value R2 is always between 0 and 1
inclusive.
Correlation vs. Regression
- Correlation is a statistical measure that quantifies the
direction and strength of the relationship between two
numeric variables.
- Regression is a statistical technique that predicts the value
of the dependent variable Y based on the known value of
the independent variable X through an equation.
Drawbacks of Linear Regression
- Linear regression only looks at linear relationships between
dependent and independent variables.
- Linear regression looks at a relationship between the mean
of the dependent variable and the independent variables.
- Linear regression is sensitive to outliers
