Why do statisticians often standardize data before performing linear regression?

The intercept of a regression will be the predicted y-value when x is equal to zero (the general idea is the same for multiple regression, but obviously there are more x-variables to consider). … Other than that, and maybe a few other use cases, centering or scaling your variables is just to facilitate the interpretability of your final regression equation. …

What are some reasonable ways to estimate systematic uncertainties?

Assuming a generic linear regression in R, you would specify something like this: fit <- brm(out | me(out, error) ~ x1, data = dat) Just to briefly overview that code, the real work is the … This is sometimes called a variance regression or a distributional model, but it's basically a joint estimation of a linear model for the outcome and the residual variance term. …

Poisson regression with strictly positive CONTINUOUS dependent variable

In the book Applied Multiple Regression/Correlation Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences, Cohen et al. point out that ordinary least squares regression on bounded, discrete data can lead to biased standard … Now, the other side of this is the relative robustness of most regression methods. …

Appropriate way to report multiple linear regression in APA

Generally speaking, there are few cases where we actually are about whether a regression model is significant or not. … By and large, it's not hard to get a significant regression model. Now, to speak to reporting on trends. I assume this means whether a result trends toward significant or not. …

How to use an F-test to understand if a categorical input is statistically significant?
