Presentation Regression

This document discusses simple linear regression analysis. It defines regression as predicting a dependent variable from an independent variable based on their average statistical relationship. Simple linear regression finds the linear regression line that best fits the data points between two variables. The linear regression equation is of the form Y = a + bX, where a is the Y-intercept and b is the slope of the line. The normal equations are used to calculate the values of a and b from the sample data.

REGRESSION ANALYSIS

Simple and Linear Regression

Introduction: After knowing the relationship between two variables we may be interested in estimating (predicting) the value of one variable given the value of another. Regression analysis is a method of predicting or estimating one variable knowing the value of the other variable The variable predicted on the basis of other variables is called the dependent variable and the other the independent variable. The prediction is based on average relationship derived statistically by regression analysis.

For example,
if we know that advertising and sales are correlated we may find out expected amount of sales for a given advertising expenditure or the required amount of expenditure for attaining a given amount of sales. Regression analysis attempts to establish the nature of relationship between variables. i.e. to study the functional relationship between the variables and thereby provide a mechanism for predicting or forecasting.
Types Of Regression: The regression analysis can be classified into: Simple and Multiple Linear and Non Linear

Linear Regression Equation: If two variables have linear relationship then as the independent variable (X) changes, the dependent variable (Y) also changes.
For regression analysis of two variables there are two regression lines, namely Y on X and X on Y.The two regression lines show the average relationship between the two variables.
For perfect correlation, positive or negative i.e., r = + 1, the two lines coincide i.e., we will find only one straight line.

If r =0, i.e., both the variables are independent then the two lines will cut each other at right angle. In this case the two lines will be parallel to X and Y-axes.
Lastly the two lines intersect at the point of means of X and Y.

The two regression equations for X on Y; X = a + bY & for Y on X; Y = a + bX

Where X, Y are variables, and a,b are constants whose values are to be determined

For the equation, X = a + bY

For the equation, Y= a + bX, the normal equations are

Find the two regression equations from the following data:

Regression equation of Y on X is Y = a + bX and the normal equations are

Hence, required regression line Y on X is


Y = 11.9 0.65 X.

Now, substituting the corresponding values from the above table, we get

Hence, Required regression line of X on Y is X = 16.4 1.3Y

From the following data find the regression equation and estimate Y , when X= 13 and estimate X , when Y=10.
