BASICS & NOTATION Input parameters 1, 2, …, n Values of each denoted X1, X2, Xn For each setting of X1, X2, Xn observe a Y Each set (X1, X2, Xn,Y) is one observation As we vary the X-values, Y changes in a linear (scaled proportional) manner Some of the X’s don’t matter much, some are key
BASICS • Assumptions • e is independent from sample to sample • e is independent of the X’s • e~N(0, s2) • So we will examine the “noise”
MOTIVATING EXAMPLE: Close Air Support Troops patrol their assigned area Discover targets for destruction from the air Call for CAS May need an aircraft with laser-designation-capable weapons May have a time deadline Have a distance from the FARP to the target Effects measured on 1..100 scale
REGRESSION OUTPUT(Excel) Y= 10.7 + .55 EXP Test for b= 0
REGRESSION LINE } ERROR
MULTIPLE REGRESSION Look at all of the independent variables Builds the complex multidimensional function in n-space
MULTIPLE REGRESSION Y=.39 + .81 LAZ + .19 DIST + .54 EXP
REGRESSION DIAGNOSTICS Residuals that depend on one of the X’s Residuals that have different variance at different values of an X
