Techniques for analyzing the relationship between one (or more) "dependent" variables and "independent" variables.

Linear regression: dependent variable is the multiplication of two independent variables

If the relationship you wish to examine is looking at the product as its own stand-alone concept (e.g., area as opposed to the two separate lengths), then you have $z=x_1·x_2$ and you can simply run a regression … That is to say, run a regression to predict $\ln(y)$ from both $\ln(x_1 · x_2) = \ln(x_1) + \ln(x_2)$. …

Principal Components for dependent variable in a regression

I would suggest using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to address this problem. In brief, you are proposing a latent variable, welfare index, which is directly influencing 4 manifest (measured or ob …

Interpreting results of regression of variable with residuals from previous regression

You have calculated the semi-partial correlation for ln(wages) and education controlling for gender—though you have done so using a follow-up regression instead of just calculating the correlation.  … Again, you used a regression approach (instead of correlation), but the interpretations would generally be the same. Addendum #1 I wouldn't post an answer with an addendum usually.  …

Excel Regression - Training and Test Data

When you run the regression model in Excel, be sure to select only that part of the data that you want to use as the training data set.  … You can then generate the regression coefficients for the model.  Next, you will need to calculate the estimated values for the rest of the data (the test data set) manually.  …

Slope of independent variable is larger when I divide sample into subsets

If you take the regression for each cloud separately, you will obtain a positive slope. … However, if you combine the data sets into one (and ignore the grouping structure), then the aggregate regression will have a negative slope. …

Reporting binary regression models

As for APA format, the best strategy is to Google the title of a common APA journal (say Journal of Educational Psychology) and "logistic regression". …

How to interpret linear regression where the dependent variable has been transformed by bein...

If you decide to model the transformation of a variable, then you can simply undo the transformation once you have the model. For example, if you model $z = y^2$ as $$z = \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_1 + \bet …

Choice of coding scheme/planned contrasts using race as a categorical variable

Simply put, with regards to dummy coding for categorical variables in multiple regression models, this simply is not the case.  …

Regression with sample split

It sounds as though you might be exploring a question of moderation. That is to say, ¿does the relationship between a dependent variable and the predictors change for different groups? As such, the t …

Confused about Residual Degree of Freedom?

Before jumping to regression, let's think about a simpler setting: a two sample $t$-test. Here, you have two groups (sample sizes $n_1$ and $n_2$) and each has a mean. … The regression formula would be $$y = a + b_1 · X_1 + b_2 · X_2 + b_3 · X_3 + b_4 · X_4 $$ But, the same rationale holds. …

What is meant by "let $X_2$ and $v$ be the residuals obtained from regressing $X_3$ on $X_1$"?

Yes, this appears to be a typo. We can let residuals (from one model) be predictors in other models, but you are correct that the terminology, as presented in the problem, is incorrect. Furthermore, …

Assigning average outcome values to categorical variables

The issue is with the categorical predictors in a multiple regression (MR) setting.  … In the regression model, you would have an intercept and a slope for this variable, female, and maybe other variables.  …

Interpretation of standardized coeffizients (beta) for interactions in linear regression

We can solve polynomial regression using linear regression because we can treat the higher ordered powers as separate independent variables in the regression model (thus, the model parameters can be estimated …
