Nov 14, 2010 · Is it possible to have a (multiple) regression equation with two or more dependent variables? Sure, you could run two separate regression equations, one for each DV, but that …

Also, for OLS regression, R^2 is the squared correlation between the predicted and the observed values. Hence, it must be non-negative. For simple OLS regression with one predictor, this is …

Dec 23, 2016 · A good residual vs fitted plot has three characteristics: The residuals "bounce randomly" around the 0 line. This suggests that the assumption that the relationship is linear is …

What statistical tests or rules of thumb can be used as a basis for excluding outliers in linear regression analysis? Are there any special considerations for multilinear regression?

Consider the following figure from Faraway's Linear Models with R (2005, p. 59). The first plot seems to indicate that the residuals and the fitted values are uncorrelated, as they should be in a

Jan 27, 2025 · It appears that isotonic regression is a popular method to calibrate models. I understand that isotonic guarantees a monotonically increasing or decreasing fit. However, if …
