Correlation

Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.

Linear Correlation

A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.

Regression Analysis

Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…

Textbook Question

Chapter 12.5, Problem 12.36LM

Suppose you fit the interaction model

y = β₀ + β₁x₁ + β₂x₂ + β₃x₁x₂ + ε

to n = 32 data points and obtain the following results:

SS_yy = 479 SSE = 21 β ^ 3 = 10 s β ^ 3 = 4

a. Find R² and interpret its value.
b. Is the model adequate for predicting y? Test at α=.05.
c. Use a graph to explain the contribution of the x₁ x₂ term to the model.
d. Is there evidence that x₁ and x₂ interact? Test at α =.05.

Suppose that you wish to estimate the effect of class attendance on student performance. A basic model is examscore = β0 + β1attendance + β2priorGP A + u where examscore is students’ score on the exam (from 1 to 6), attendance is the number of TA sessions attended on Zoom (from 0 to 9), and priorGPA is the average exam grade last year. (a) Let internet be the quality of internet at the student’s study place. Do you think internet satisfies the independence assumption? What about the exclusion restriction? (b) Assuming that internet satisfies the conditions above, what other condition must internet satisfy in order to be a valid IV for attendance? (c) Suppose, we add the interaction term priorGP A × attendance. Interpret the coefficient on the interaction term. (d) (Difficult) If attendance is endogenous, then, in general, so is priorGP A × attendance. What might be a good IV for priorGP A × attendance?

A sociologist investigating the recent upward shift in homicide trends throughout the country studied the extent to which the homicide rate per 100 000 people (v) is associated with population size in thousands (x ), the rate of unemployment (x,), and the percentage of families with annual incomes less than R24 000 (x3). Data are provided in the table for a sample of 20 cities. A regression analysis was performed on the data and the results indicated that the interaction model E(y) = B,+ Bx + Bx, + Bx; + B,xqx,+ B;xx; + Bzxzx; was a good model to fit to the data. %3D However, the residual plot for this model indicates that heteroscedasticity may exists for the percentage of families with annual incomes less than R24 000. How do I Conduct a test for heteroscedasticity by dividing the data into two subsamples, x,21 and x, > 21 using MSE for the first subsample = 582.3, MSE for the second subsample = 364.7 and a= 0.05. And how do I explain my conclusion.

Expression levels of GeneA and GeneB were measured in 10 cell lines. The researcher would liketo know if expression levels of GeneA and GeneB are related.a. Use a parametric method to test if GeneA and GeneB are correlated.b. Use a non-parametric method to test if GeneA and GeneB are correlated. Carry out all above tests for α = 0.05.Please solve manually not using software program .
