  1. LECTURE 6 CURVILINEAR RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSFORMATIONS

  2. POWER POLYNOMIALS • Types of curve functions of interest: • Quadratic • Cubic

  4. Centering and Orthogonality • Grand mean centering: subtract mean from each score x1 = x-meanx • Create quadratic variable by squaring centered variable: x2= (x1)2 This results in rx1x2 << rxx2 Reduces multicollinearity in predictors

  5. Nonlinear Transformations • Lowess lines indicate various nonlinear conditions: heteroscedasticity, nonnormal distribution of errors, nonlinear variable relationships

  6. Nonlinear Transformations • Exponential relations: y=e-x • Use logarithmic transformation: log(y) = -x y log(y) X X

  7. Heteroscedastic, Skewed • Square root transformation: y=bx1 + b0 x’ = x pr(x) pr( x) x x

  8. Arcsin transformation • Linearize proportion variables (eg. %getting particular item correct predicted by total test score ) • 2*Arcsin(p) P(item i=1) 2arcsin(p) Test score x Test score x

  9. Logit transformation • Use when p is binary outcome (pass-fail) • L= ½ ln (p/(1-p))
