Regression Analysis

Development Phase of Regression Analysis

Select (Designs, Regression Models, Regression Analysis - One Predictor Variable) and click the Accept command. Select (Analysis I, Regression Analysis)

and click the Accept command. Click on Descriptive Statistics,

 

click on the Standardize Variance options box, and Select the Standardizing Variable Y. Click the Accept command.

 

Compare the above table with the results of the Regression Analysis

and note that the Coefficient of Determination is the Standard Variance of the predicted variable Y' (.250) and the Coefficient of Alienation is the Standard Variance of the error variable Y^ (.75).

Estimation Phase of Regression Analysis

Click on the Estimation Phase command

click the Open Scalar Module and Clear Scalar Display commands, and store the B Weight and Intercept in the scalar module.

For this hypothetical example, let us pretend that the predictor variable X is the new predictor variable X. Clear (Data, Delete Variables) the other variables from the scalar display. Select (Operations, Multiply by a Constant), drag the B Weight to the Constant input box, Name the product BX, mark the variable X

 and click on the Append command.

Right click the Descriptive Statistics command, select (Operations, Add a Constant), drag the Intercept to the Constant input box, Name the sum Y', mark the variable BX

 and click on the Append command.

 

For this hypothetical example, the predicted variables Y' for both the Development Phase and the Estimation Phase of regression analysis are identical.
