6 Examining relationships Correlation measures the direction and strength of the straight-line relationship between two quantitative variables. If a scatterpolt shows a linear relationship, we would like to summarize this overall pattern by drawing a line on the scatterplot. A regression line is a straight line that describes how a response variable y changes as an explanatory variable x changes. This equation is used when one of the variables helps explain or predict the other.

7 Least-Squares regression The least-squares regression line (LSRL) of Y on X is the line that makes the sum of the squares of the vertical distances of the data points from the line as small as possible.

19 Least-Square Regression Line Using R Use the command: lm(yvariable Xvariable). For example of the coffee sales. > lm(shelf$num_sold~shelf$shelf_space) Call: lm(formula = shelf$num_sold ~ shelf$shelf_space) Coefficients: (Intercept) shelf$shelf_space Where the Intercept value is a and the other value is b, the slope.

23 Facts about least-squares regression Fact 1: A change of one standard deviation in x corresponds to a change of r standard deviations in y. (b 1 slope) Fact 2: The least-squares regression line always passes through the point ( x, ȳ). That is why we can get b 0 the y-intercept. Fact 3: The distinction between explanatory and response variables is essential in regression.

24 R 2 The square of the correlation R 2 describes the strength of a straight-line relationship. The formal name of it is called the Coefficient of Determination. This is the percent of variation of Y that is explained by this equation. R 2 is a measure of how successful the regression was in explaining the response.
