Why doesn't ML suffer from curse of dimensionality?

This is highly related to a key finding from this paper which found that when binary logistic regression needs 20 times as many events as parameters to not overfit, ML may require 200 events per candidate …

How to handle with missing values in order to prepare data for feature selection with LASSO?

The choice of $c$ is arbitrary, & does not affect the estimates of the intercept $\beta_0$ or the slope $\beta_1$; $\beta_2$ describes the effect of $x$'s being 'not applicable' compared to when $x=c$. … See Meier et al (2008), JRSS B, 70, 1, "The group lasso for logistic regression" & the R package grplasso. …

Methods for fitting a "simple" measurement error model

hat{\beta}=s_y/s_x$, i.e. the ratio of the observed standard deviations (making the sign of the slope the same as the sign of the covariance of $x$ and $y$); as you can probably work out, this gives an intercept … Here is some R code to illustrate: the red line in the chart is OLS regression of $Y$ on $X$, the blue line is OLS regression of $X$ on $Y$, and the green line is this simple method. …

Are these two definitions of the coefficient of determination $R^2$ equal?

(by convention, a linear model contains an intercept $e$ of all ones) is: \begin{align*} Y := \begin{bmatrix} y_1 \\ y_2 \\ \vdots \\ y_n \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} e & x_1 & x_2 & \cdots & x_p … The form of your proposed $R_2^2$ inspires me considering the following form of the regression model (known as Standardized Multiple Regression Model, see Applied Linear Statistical Models by Kutner et …

Best statistical analysis with (very) limited samples : MLR vs GLM vs GAM vs something else?

Linear regression is for modeling a Gaussian conditional distribution and would be applicable in a situation where you don't need to go beyond that assumption. … Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) 0.028574 NaN NaN NaN x1 1.148516 NaN NaN NaN x2 0.421618 NaN NaN NaN x3 -0.008065 …

What is the intuition behind the idea that for linear regression, the number of observations...

This means that with two data points you can fit a simple linear regression model with an intercept and slope term (two parameters) and the line will go exactly through the data points. … If you have $k+1$ data points and $k+1$ parameters in your linear regression model (i.e., $k$ slope parameters plus an intercept term) then you can draw the line-of-best-fit$^\dagger$ exactly through the …

Does every variable need to be statistically significant in a regression model?

We can simulate the true population values in R and see what the regression tells us: #### Simulate #### set.seed(1234) n <- 1000 pa <- rnorm(n) ma <- rnorm(n) read <- 1 + 2*pa + (.0001 * ma) + rnorm(n … That is the entire point of a regression. We are sampling from the population and trying to use that sample to guess what the population is. …

"manually" weighted regression

has an intercept but the software uses the without-intercept formula for R-squared on the "transformed" linear regression. … # While transformed linear regression doesn't have an intercept, # what matters is whether the weighted regression has an intercept or not. …

Can we calculate population mean response from GLMM by averaging over random effects?

What the package does is effect (deviance) code the contrast matrix so that the intercept is the mean between the groups' means. … But still that intercept is not quite the population average. …

Behaviour of regression toward the mean

It is worth remembering how the intercept is estimated in simple linear regression. $$ b_0 = \bar y - \hat b_1 \bar x $$ In this example, we have that $\bar y \approx \bar x = m$, so we can say $$ b_0 … = (1 - \hat b_1)m $$ That is, the intercept is a natural consequence of the slope's deviation from 1. …

How do we stop bayesian estimates from being overconfident?

The reference group (used for the intercept) is the non-native group and the comparison group (the slope) is the native group. … Suppose we are instead running a regression where the predictors are z-score standardized before entering the model. …

How to calculate the reference level interaction in regression in R?

In regression, perfect multicollinearity occurs when one predictor can be exactly predicted from others, causing redundancy. … Calculation: $\hat{y}(x=2, z=3) - [\hat{y}(x=1, z=1) + \beta_1 + \beta_3] = \beta_5 = 0.08697$ Conclusion In regression models with interactions, reference-level combinations (such as $x_1:z_1$) are embedded …

What kind of inter-rater-reliability metric to use for unbounded, real-valued data

The next thing to do is to do a linear regression of rater B against A, and of A against B. … Note that there is a relationship between Pearson's r and the angle between the above 2 regression lines (see wiki). For good agreement, we want a small angle between the 2 regression lines. …
