10. Multiple regression equations Can use variables to predict behavior of stock market probability of accident amount of pollution in a particular well quality of a wine for a particular year which candidates will make best workers

11. Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a Measured current workers – the best workers tend to have highest “success scores”. (Success scores range from 1 – 1,000) Try to predict which applicants will have the highest success score. We have found that these variables predict success: Age (X 1 ) Niceness (X 2 ) Harshness (X 3 ) According to your research, age has only a small effect on success, while workers’ attitude has a big effect. Turns out, the best workers have high “niceness” scores and low “harshness” scores. Your results are summarized by this regression formula: Both 10 point scales Niceness (10 = really nice) Harshness (10 = really harsh) Success score = (1)( Age ) + (20)( Nice ) + (-75)( Harsh ) + 700 Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a Can use variables to predict which candidates will make best workers

12. Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a According to your research, age has only a small effect on success, while workers’ attitude has a big effect. Turns out, the best workers have high “niceness” scores and low “harshness” scores. Your results are summarized by this regression formula: Success score = (1)( Age ) + (20)( Nice ) + (-75)( Harsh ) + 700

13. Y’ is the dependent variable “Success score” is your dependent variable. X 1 X 2 and X 3 are the independent variables “Age”, “Niceness” and “Harshness” are the independent variables. Each “b” is called a regression coefficient. Each “b” shows the change in Y for each unit change in its own X (holding the other independent variables constant). a is the Y-intercept Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a According to your research, age has only a small effect on success, while workers’ attitude has a big effect. Turns out, the best workers have high “niceness” scores and low “harshness” scores. Your results are summarized by this regression formula: Success score = (1)( Age ) + (20)( Nice ) + (-75)( Harsh ) + 700

14. 14-13 The Multiple Regression Equation – Interpreting the Regression Coefficients b 1 = The regression coefficient for age (X 1 ) is “1” The coefficient is positive and suggests a positive correlation between age and success. As the age increases the success score increases. The numeric value of the regression coefficient provides more information. If age increases by 1 year and hold the other two independent variables constant, we can predict a 1 point increase in the success score. Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a Success score = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700

15. 14-14 The Multiple Regression Equation – Interpreting the Regression Coefficients b 2 = The regression coefficient for age (X 2 ) is “20” The coefficient is positive and suggests a positive correlation between niceness and success. As the niceness increases the success score increases. The numeric value of the regression coefficient provides more information. If the “niceness score” increases by one, and hold the other two independent variables constant, we can predict a 20 point increase in the success score. Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a Success score = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700

16. 14-15 The Multiple Regression Equation – Interpreting the Regression Coefficients b 3 = The regression coefficient for age (X 3 ) is “-75” The coefficient is negative and suggests a negative correlation between harshness and success. As the harshness increases the success score decreases. The numeric value of the regression coefficient provides more information. If the “harshness score” increases by one, and hold the other two independent variables constant, we can predict a 75 point decrease in the success score. Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a Success score = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700

17. Here comes Victoria, her scores are as follows: Age = 30 Niceness = 8 Harshness = 2 What would we predict her “success index” to be? Y’ = = 3.812 Prediction line: Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a Y’ = 1X 1 + 20X 2 - 75X 3 + 700 Y' = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700 We predict Victoria will have a Success Index of 740 Y’ = 740 (1)(30) + (20)(8) - 75(2) + 700 Y' = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700

18. Here comes Victor, his scores are as follows: Here comes Victoria, her scores are as follows: Age = 30 Niceness = 8 Harshness = 2 What would we predict her “success index” to be? Y’ = = 3.812 We predict Victor will have a Success Index of 175 Prediction line: Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a Y’ = 1X 1 + 20X 2 - 75X 3 + 700 Y' = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700 Y’ = 740 (1)(30) + (20)(8) - 75(2) + 700 Y' = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700 Age = 35 Niceness = 2 Harshness = 8 We predict Victoria will have a Success Index of 740 What would we predict his “success index” to be? Y’ = Y’ = 175 (1)(35) + (20)(2) - 75(8) + 700 Y' = (1)(Age) + (20)(Nice) + (-75)(Harsh) + 700

19. We predict Victor will have a Success Index of 175 We predict Victoria will have a Success Index of 740 Can use variables to predict which candidates will make best workers Who will we hire?

20. 14-19 Can we predict heating cost? Three variables are thought to relate to the heating costs: (1) the mean daily outside temperature, (2) the number of inches of insulation in the attic, and (3) the age in years of the furnace. To investigate, Salisbury's research department selected a random sample of 20 recently sold homes. It determined the cost to heat each home last January Multiple Linear Regression - Example

22. 14-21 The Multiple Regression Equation – Interpreting the Regression Coefficients b 1 = The regression coefficient for mean outside temperature (X 1 ) is -4.583. The coefficient is negative and shows a negative correlation between heating cost and temperature. As the outside temperature increases, the cost to heat the home decreases. The numeric value of the regression coefficient provides more information. If we increase temperature by 1 degree and hold the other two independent variables constant, we can estimate a decrease of $4.583 in monthly heating cost.

23. 14-22 The Multiple Regression Equation – Interpreting the Regression Coefficients b 2 = The regression coefficient for mean attic insulation (X 2 ) is -14.831. The coefficient is negative and shows a negative correlation between heating cost and insulation. The more insulation in the attic, the less the cost to heat the home. So the negative sign for this coefficient is logical. For each additional inch of insulation, we expect the cost to heat the home to decline $14.83 per month, regardless of the outside temperature or the age of the furnace.

24. 14-23 The Multiple Regression Equation – Interpreting the Regression Coefficients b 3 = The regression coefficient for mean attic insulation (X 3 ) is 6.101 The coefficient is positive and shows a negative correlation between heating cost and insulation. As the age of the furnace goes up, the cost to heat the home increases. Specifically, for each additional year older the furnace is, we expect the cost to increase $6.10 per month.

31. Applying the Model for Estimation What is the estimated heating cost for a home if: the mean outside temperature is 30 degrees, there are 5 inches of insulation in the attic, and the furnace is 10 years old?

32. Multiple regression equations Prediction line Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a Very often we want to select students or employees who have the highest probability of success in our school or company. Andy is an administrator at a paralegal program and he wants to predict the Grade Point Average (GPA) for the incoming class. He thinks these independent variables will be helpful in predicting GPA. High School GPA (X 1 ) SAT - Verbal (X 2 ) SAT - Mathematical (X 3 ) Andy completes a multiple regression analysis and comes up with this regression equation: Y’ = 1.2X 1 +.00163X 2 -.00194X 3 -.411 Y’ = 1.2 gpa +.00163 sat verb -.00194sat math -.411

33. Here comes Victoria, her scores are as follows: High School GPA = 3.81 SAT Verbal = 500 SAT Mathematical = 600 What would we predict her GPA to be in the paralegal program? Y’ = 1.2 (3.81) +.00163 (500) -.00194 (600) -.411 Y’ = 4.572 +.815 - 1.164 -.411 Y’ = 1.2 gpa +.00163 sat verb -.00194sat math -.411 Predict Victor’s GPA, his scores are as follows: High School GPA = 2.63 SAT - Verbal = 469 SAT - Mathematical = 440 Y’ = 1.2 (2.63) +.00163 (469) -.00194 (440) -.411 Y’ = 3.156 +.76447 -.8536 -.411 = 3.812 Y’ = 1.2 gpa +.00163 sat verb -.00194 sat math -.411 We predict Victor will have a GPA of 2.656 = 2.66 Prediction line: Y’ = b 1 X 1 + b 2 X 2 + b 3 X 3 + a Y’ = 1.2X 1 +.00163X 2 -.00194X 3 -.411 We predict Victoria will have a GPA of 3.812
