Multiple Linear Regression
Multiple Linear Regression
REGRESSION
Mother's height
Mother's weight Length of baby
Age
You can use multiple linear
regression when you want to
know:
When to 1. How strong the relationship is
between two or more independent
apply variables and one dependent variable
Y= 0 + 1 X1 + 2 X2 + 3 X 3 + ........ n Xn
Y = outcome
0 = intercept
1 Descriptive statistics
Length of baby (DV) Factors (IV) List down all the variables
Mother's age
Mother's height
Mother's weight
Enter
categorical
variables
Run descriptive for numerical data
Enter numerical
variables
STEP 2: SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESSION (UNIVARIABLE ANALYSIS)
2.At the end, choose variables with p-value < 0.25 and/or clinically
important.
Go to: Analyze > Regression > Linear
Length of baby vs Mother's age
There is a significant relationship between mother's age and the length of baby.
Length of baby vs Mother's height
2. Perform all the methods and select the model with all
variables significant as the preliminary main effect model.
Go to: Analyze > Regression > Linear
METHOD: FORWARD (Automatically enters the IMPORTANT independent
variable into the model)
Select Forward
METHOD: FORWARD
Select Backward
METHOD: BACKWARD
Select Stepwise
METHOD: STEPWISE
The values of VIF for both variables are less than 10. There is no
multicollinearity problem in this model.
STEP 4: CHECKING INTERACTION
mage*mheight
Go to: Analyze > Regression > Linear
XI - YR
Double click the plot and click
XI - YR
Double click the plot and click
Run the final model. All the assumptions were checked and MET.
