1 Business Statistics: A First Course Fifth Edition Chapter 12 Correlation and Simple Linear Regression Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc. Chap 12-1

2 Learning Objectives In this chapter, you learn: To calculate the coefficient of correlation The meaning of the regression coefficients b 0 and db. 1 How to use regression analysis to predict the value of a dependent variable based on an independent variable. Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-2

3 Correlation vs. Regression A scatter plot can be used to show the relationship between two variables Correlation analysis is used to measure the strength of the association (linear relationship) between two variables Correlation is only concerned with strength of the relationship No causal effect is implied with correlation Scatter plots were first presented in Ch. 2 Correlation was first presented in Ch. 3 Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-3

4 Coefficient of Correlation Measures the relative strength of the linear relationship between two numerical variables Sample coefficient of correlation: n x i x yi y i1 r n 1 Sx Sy Where x and y are the means of x and y-values S x and S y are the standard deviations of x and y- values Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap

5 Shortcut Formula r n i 1 x i y i nxy n n 2 2 xi nx i 1 i 1 y 2 i ny 2 Where x and y are the means of x and y-values Question : Will outliers effect the correlation? ES Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap

6 Features of the Coefficient of Correlation The population coefficient of correlation is referred as ρ. The sample coefficient of correlation is referred to as r. Either ρ or r have the following features: Unit free Ranges between 1 and 1 The closer to 1, the stronger the negative linear relationship The closer to 1, the stronger the positive linear relationship The closer to 0, the weaker the linear relationship Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap

7 Scatter Plots of Sample Data with Various Coefficients of Correlation r = -1 r = -.6 r = +1 r = +.3 Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap r = 0

8 Correlation Coefficient Example: Real estate t agent A real estate agent wishes to examine the relationship between the selling price of a home and its size (measured in square feet) A random sample of 10 houses is selected Dependent variable () = house price in $1000s Independent variable () = square feet Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-8

9 Correlation Coefficient Example: Data House Price in $1000s Square Feet () () Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-9

10 Simple Linear Regression Example: Scatter Plot House price model: Scatter Plot Price ($10 000s) House Square Feet Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-10

11 Calculations xi yi xi yi xiyi i1 i1 i1 i1 i1 r 17150, 2865, , , i1 n There is positive relationship between the selling price of a home and its size. Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-11

12 Introduction to Regression Analysis Regression analysis is used to: Predict the value of a dependent variable based on the value of at least one independent variable Explain the impact of changes in an independent variable on the dependent variable Dependent variable: the variable we wish to predict or explain Independent variable: the variable used to predict or explain the dependent variable Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-12

13 Simple Linear Regression Model Only one independent variable, Relationship between and is described by a linear function Changes in are assumed to be related to changes in Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-13

14 Types of Relationships Linear relationships Curvilinear relationships Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-14

15 Types of Relationships (continued) Strong relationships Weak relationships Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-15

16 Types of Relationships No relationship (continued) Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-16

17 Simple Linear Regression Model Dependent Variable Population intercept i β 0 Population Slope Coefficient β 1 Independent Variable i ε i Random Error term Linear component Random Error component Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-17

18 Simple Linear Regression Model (continued) i β 0 β 1 i ε i Observed Value of for i Predicted Value of for i ε i Random Error Slope = β 1 Random Error for this i value Intercept = β 0 i Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-18

19 Simple Linear Regression Equation (Prediction Line) The simple linear regression equation provides an estimate of the population regression line Estimated (or predicted) value for observation i Estimate of the regression intercept Estimate of the regression slope Ŷ i b 0 b 1 i Value of for observation i Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-19

20 Finding the Regression Equation The coefficients b 0 The Slope b 1 : The Intercept b 0 : where S n and b 1 are given by: 0 1 b S r S 1 y x b y b x 0 1 n 2 2 xi x yi y, S n1 n1 i1 i1 Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-20

21 Interpretation of the Slope and the Intercept b 0 is the estimated mean value of 0 when the value of is zero b 1 is the estimated change in the mean value of as a result of a one-unit change in Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-21

22 Simple Linear Regression Example: Recall the real estate example - Scatter Plot House price model: Scatter Plot Price ($10 000s) House Square Feet Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-22

23 Calculations S y 1 1 S x b r b b yb x b = Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-23

24 Simple Linear Regression Example: Graphical Representation House price model: Scatter Plot and Prediction Line 450 Intercept = s) Price ($10 House Slope = Square Feet house price (square feet) Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-24

25 Simple Linear Regression Example: Interpretation of b o house price (square feet) b 0 is the estimated mean value of when the valueofiszero(if=0 is in the range of observed values) Because a house cannot have a square footage of 0, b 0 has no practical application Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-25

26 Simple Linear Regression Example: Interpreting b 1 house price (square feet) b 1 estimates the change in the mean value of as a result of a one-unit increase in Here, b 1 = tells us that the mean value of a house increases by ($1000) = $109.77, on average, for each additional one square foot of size Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-26

27 Simple Linear Regression Example: Making Predictions Predict the price for a house with 2000 square feet: house price (sq.ft.) (2000) The predicted price for a house with 2000 square feet is ($1,000s) = $317,850 Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-27

28 Coefficient of Determination, r 2 The coefficient of determination is the portion of the total variation in the dependent variable that is explained by variation in the independent variable The coefficient of determination is also called r-squared and is denoted as r 2 r 2 Correlation between and 2 note: 0 r 2 1 Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-28

29 2 Examples of r 2 Values r 2 = 1 r 2 = 1 Perfect linear relationship between and : 100% of fthe variation in is explained by variation in r 2 = 1 Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-29

30 Examples of r 2 Values 0 <r 2 < 1 Weaker linear relationships between and : Some but not all of the variation in is explained by variation in Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-30

31 Examples of r 2 Values r 2 = 0 No linear relationship between and : r 2 = 0 The value of does not depend on. (None of the variation in is explained by variation in ) Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-31

32 Simple Linear Regression Example: 2 Coefficient of Determination, r r % of the variation in house prices is explained by variation in square feet Business Statistics: A First Course, 5e 2009 Prentice-Hall, Inc.. Chap 12-32
