A

LOGISTICS REGRESSION

38
Q

graphical representation of the relation between two or more variables.

Types of Logistics Regression:

A

Multinomial Logistic Regression

If multivariate normality is suspected
If we don’t have linearity

41
Q

Assumptions in Logistic Regression

A

No assumptions about the distributions of the predictor variables
Predictors do not have to be normally distributed
Does not have to be linearly related
Does not have to have equal variance within each group
There should be a minimum of 20 cases per predictor, with a minimum of 60 total cases.

42
Q

captures how one variable is different from its mean as the other variable is different from its mean.
between two random variables is a statistical measure of the degree to which the two variables move together.

A

covariance

43
Q

A measure of the strength of the relationship between or among variables.

A

correlation coefficient

43
Q

45
Q

The appearance of a relationship when in fact there is no relation.

is the analysis of the relation between one variable and some other variable(s), assuming a linear relation. Also referred to as least squares regression and ordinary least squares (OLS).

A

REGRESSION ANALYSIS

46
Q

The purpose is to explain the variation in a variable (that is, how a variable differs from it’s mean value) using the variation in one or more other variables.

A

REGRESSION ANALYSIS

46
Q

is the variable whose variation is used to explain that of the dependent variable. Also referred to as the explanatory variable, the exogenous variable, or the predicting variable.

A

intercept

57

are values of the dependent variable based on the estimated regression coefficients and a prediction about the values of the independent variables.

coefficient of determination,

60
Q

are qualitative variables that take on a value of zero or one.

The situation in which the variance of the residuals is not constant across all observations.

A

Heteroskedasticity

62

is the situation in which the residual terms are correlated with one another. This occurs frequently in time-series analysis.

A

Autocorrelation

63
Q

The residuals are independently distributed,,,

A

the residual or disturbance for one observation is not correlated with that of another observation. [A violation of this is referred to as autocorrelation.]

64
Q

If last year‟s earnings were high, this means that this year‟s earnings may have a greater probability of being high than being low. This is an example of?

A

positive autocorrelation

65
Q

When a good year is always followed by a bad year, this is,,,, .

A

a negative autocorrelation

66
Q

is the problem of high correlation between or among two or more independent variables.

A

70
Q

WHEN TO USE LOGISTIC REGRESSION?

A
