1. ### Multiple Regression: 3 levels in IV of interest, how to compare between all 3?

Hi all, I would like to test the following and am hoping to get some assistance as I am new to regression: DV - Brain volume IV - Participant Group (Patient with Mild Symptoms, Patient with Severe Symptoms, Controls) Covariates - Age, Gender, IQ I wish to use multiple regression in...
2. ### Help with interpretation

Hi All, Here is what i need help with. I am working with small sample size and this is the result so far. X and Y are not correlated ; however, when I place X in a stepwise multiple regression predicting Y, alongside three (A, B, C) other (related) variables, X and two other variables (A...
3. ### Regression analysis(?) for multiple independent variables

Hello all, Apologies for posting an elementary query, but my stats is very rusty. Not looking for an explicit solution, necessarily, just a pointer in the right direction. (And if I've posted to the wrong sub-forum, I'd be grateful for suggestions.) I have N records. Each contains M real...
4. ### One observation per factor level combination in regression

Hi... I was wondering if you can perform multiple linear regression with a mix of categorical and quantitative variables, if you only have one observation per combination of the levels of your factors in the regression model? And how do you interpret predictions? Thanks in advance!
5. ### Combining variables prior to performing regression analysis

Hello to all. I am running a regression analysis to evaluate if the joint analysis of costs and benefits can explain medicinal plant selection better than only benefits. My 'benefit' variables are 'perceived efficiency' and 'perceived taste' and my 'cost' variable is 'difficulty of acquisition'...
6. ### How to find correlation coefficients for periodic data?

Please help: Correlation coefficients for periodic data? I am working on a hedging model for commodity.I have past 36 months data of commodity market price and future contracts price. e.g. on 1st April,2014, market price is x,April contract price = x+1,May contract price = x+2 and June...
7. ### Help calculating standard error of intercept

Hi all, I'm running an equally weighted moving average multiple regression with 10 explanatory variables, and I'm looking at the change in alpha (intercept) and betas over time, including change in statistical significance. Since I need to run many regressions (1000+), i'm using Excel and the...
8. ### Two linear regressions or one moderated multiple regression?

Hi everyone, I would REALLY appreciate any help on this since I've exhausted a lot of options for help already. I have a set of a data with multiple DVs, and two within-subjects IVs (2 x 3 design). Say I want to look at one of the DVs and use regression to examine whether there's any...
9. ### Variance of parts equal to variance of whole?

Good morning, I ran a hierarchical regression to test if variables A and B (established in the literature) are mediated by variable C (my research question) when predicting overall performance in a university unit. Block 1 was variables A and B using enter method. Block 2 included variable C...
10. ### Multiple logistic regression - need for interaction checking?

Hello, and thank you for reading this post. I am a medical doctor with limited statistical knowledge, so bare with me... I am trying to answer the question: Does dispatching a critical care team (CCT) to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest improve survival? I have a dataset of 2000 cases and...
11. ### interpretation of intercept and regression coefficient

This is a multiple linear regression problem with two independent variables. dependent: blood pressure independent: stress and age The raw regression coefficients for x1(stress) and x2(age) are 1.373(stress) and 0.581(age) The intercept is (0,68.969) I need to interpret the values I...
12. ### Application of Multivariate Analysis

The following situation is proven valuable where multivariate analysis can be applied. This example is taken from the book Applied Multivariate Statistical Analysis written by Richard A. Jhonson & Dean W. Wichern.: "A study was conducted to investigate the reactions of cancer patients to...
13. ### Regression Using Likert Scales (Total Scores)

I conducted a survey that consisted of 5 different likert scales. I totaled the scores for each scale. I would like to know if the total scores of 4 of the scales serve as predictors of the scores on the 5th scale. I am struggling to determine which regression method, if any, is most...

15. ### Hedonic regression

What is the rationale behind hedonic quality index and how to interpret it? For any example/explanation beside the Wikipedia, I would be very grateful.
16. ### Can the PCA scores be used as variables in multiple linear regression

Hello, I used PCA to reduce the dimensions of a data set of 10 variables into 2 principal components (describing 82% of variance in data set of 10 variables) and calculated the scores for both PCs for all the samples (n=85). Can I use these PCs (Scores) (separately or together) as...
17. ### Using principle component as explanatory variable in multiple regression

Hello, I used PCA to reduce the dimensions of a data set of 10 variables into 2 principal components (describing 82% of variance in data set of 10 variables) and calculated the scores for both PCs for all the samples (n=85). Can I use these PCs (Scores) (separately or together) as...
18. ### Multiple Linear Regression Problem

Hi, I want to do a multiple regression analysis. I have one Y which are numeric values (sample number = 85) and the following Xs. Sr No Variable Data type Data example 1 Region 4 factor levels Region ABC 2 Class 3 factor levels...
19. ### Plot for multiple regression

Hi All, I have a very basic question. When I run a regression to predict Y from X, I basically draw a scatterplot in excel. I am wondering how something like that would work when I want to predict Y from X1 AND X2? I am not sure what the best way to plot this relationship. Any...
20. ### Multiple regression then Sobel for mediation

Hi, I am doing a mediation analysis. I first ran a multiple regression for IV (2 variables) to mediator. I want to do a Sobel test and use the unstandardized coefficient of the 2 IVs combined. However, I'm not sure where do find that number. Is it the "constant" Is it the R? Is it...
