regression

Hi everybody, let's assume I hypothesize: H1: A direct effect of X1 on Y H2: A direct effect of X2 on Y H3: A two-way interaction between X1 and X2 H4: A three-way interaction between X1, X2 and X3 H5: A three-way interaction between X1, X2 and X4 and run the following OLS regressions to test...

I did a hierarchical multiple linear regression in SPSS with three predictor variables. All the variables have high F-values and are highly significant at each step of the model, but the constant is not significant (0.079) in the last step. Should I disregard all the results just because of...

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a great day. Currently, I am trying to measure the effect of an in-store campaign that deals with sampling items. I have 80 stores (40 control and 40 test). I have many interesting variables, such as average local income, number of competitors within X...

I have a longitudinal survey (5 waves) that collects a health index (from 0 to 100) and some risk factors and socioeconomic characteristics. I want to develop a model that will predict this health index (with consistent biographies, meaning that the predicted health index should not be...

I am a student. I have some knowledge of mixed regression models. I would like to implement Random Regression in R. I found "Random Regression Models" by Schaeffer (http://animalbiosciences.uoguelph.ca/~lrs/BOOKS/rrmbook.pdf) helpful. I have also read "MCMCglmm Course Notes" by Jarrod Hadfield...

Hi All. I'm new to this forum but I have a background in stats and in business/social science research. I'm in the early stages of designing a research study that will analyze a large dataset for about 100 publicly traded companies. There will be about 10-20 independent variables for each...

assume I am predicting home runs, assume all player bat the same number of times, so we can do this by total home runs, and not home run rate) from a player based on past experience. I have a linear regression model for one period of time that determines the model, and I then run 100 players...

I have several pieces of data available, but I'm not sure about the best use of it in a predictive model. I envision using a regression, then plugging the predicted values into a monte carlo simulation for optimization. I'm wondering how an experienced statistician would use the available data...

Hi everyone! I was wondering, how do I deal with a predictor that overshadows all others? All predictors included in the model are statistically significant, but one of the has a very strong impact on the dependent variables, so much that when its value is high, the impact of all other...

Hello, I have a doubt about the ways of comparing categories in logistic regression. I have 200 subjects with a dependant variable (positive/negative) and I want to test them with an independent variable (IV) of 4 categories (age). I am going to use a logistic regression, but when I do that, I...

Hi there, I'm an MSc student in Medical Entomology and I'm in the midst of analysing data for my final project write up. My project is assessing the efficacy of different insecticide treatments applied in experimental huts against malaria mosquitoes. Now my dependent variables are: mortality...

Hi, I would like to compare the effect of different independent variables on a dependent variable. My VD is quantitative. I have 3 VI that are nominal: Valence (2 levels), Rhetorical orientation (2 levels), statement type (3 levels). It looks like that: In order to asses the influence of...

Hello I want to ask you, before to making a regression should we understand which distribution follow the datas? Let's take an example: if the data have a poisson distribution, then I will run a Poisson regression? If the data follow a gaussian then one should use...

Hello, I am a newbie and request some inputs on the usage and impact of indicator variables in regression analysis. I have a weekly dataset and intend to use regression analysis for prediction. To model seasonality, what are the pros/cons of either a) using 12 monthly (weighted) indicator...

Hello dear forum members, I am conducting a replication study based on the paper by Gao, G. G., Greenwood, B. N., Agarwal, R., & McCullough, J. S. (2015). VOCAL minority and silent majority: How do online ratings reflect population perceptions of quality. MIS Quarterly: Management Information...

I have a question on a sample test for my upcoming prelims and I am unsure how to answer a question, scenario and questions below... A study measured dental measurements from the center of the pituitary to the pterygomaxillary fissure (measured in mm) for 11 girls and 16 boys at ages 8, 10, 12...

Hi, I am working on a replication of a research paper where I have to compile my own data to copy the regression done in the research paper. I have never done a regression like this before and I am not sure about the data I chose - I would appreciate any help and input. All the variables I...

Dear all, For my Master’s thesis, I have some difficulties with the statistical part of my research. I want to analyze the relationship between two variables: Investment in Innovation (R&D) --> Concentration Ratio 1. Research & Development (R&D) Investments in an industry 2. Concentration...
