Monday, November 9 Correlation and Linear Regression
You will not leave the room until… • you have understood that a correlation is a systematic quantitative expression of the proportion of explained and unexplained co-variation of two variables.
You will not leave the room until… • you have understood that a correlation is a systematic quantitative expression of the proportion of explained and unexplained co-variation of two variables … and you love knowing this fact!
zy = zx When X and Y are perfectly correlated
We can say that zx perfectly predicts zy zy’ = zx Or zy = zx ^
When they are imperfectly correlated, i.e., rxy ≠ 1 or -1 zy’ = rxyzx
When they are imperfectly correlated, i.e., rxy ≠ 1 or -1 zy’ = rxyzx Y’ = bYXX + aYX bYX = rYX (sy / sx) aYX = Y - bYXX _ _
When they are imperfectly correlated, i.e., rxy ≠ 1 or -1 zy’ = rxyzx Y’ = bYXX + aYX bYX = rYX (sy / sx) aYX = Y - bYXX _ _
Assumptions • Linearity • Homoscedasticity
SStotal = SSexplained+SSunexplained N N N Explained and unexplained variance SStotal = SSexplained + SSunexplained
σ2Y’ [ =unexplained] σ2Y [ =total] Explained and unexplained variance r2XY = 1 - σ2Y - σ2Y’ = σ2Y r2 is the proportion explained variance to the total variance.
Point-biserial correlation rpb • A correlation coefficient r that is calculated when one of the variables being correlated has only two levels, which are assigned arbitrary values (e.g., 0, 1). • This coefficient is useful in expressing the effect size of an independent samples t-test, as the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is explained by the independent variable.
