Is there a difference between 'controlling for' and 'ignoring' other variables in multiple regression?

The coefficient of an explanatory variable in a multiple regression tells us the relationship of that explanatory variable with the dependent variable. All this, while 'controlling' for the other ...

When can we speak of collinearity

In linear models we need to check if a relationship exists among the explanatory variables. If they correlate too much then there is collinearity (i.e., the variables partly explain each other). I am ...

Visualising uncertainty in slope and offset for a regression line?

According to a least squares fit I have performed to my data, my slope is $-0.1038±0.033$, and my offset $0.1065±0.032$. My first idea was to visualise this by drawing three lines: $0.1065-0.1038x$, $...
