Regression Analysis
? Regression Analysis: a statistical technique for investigating and modeling the relationship between variables.
? Applications: Engineering, the physical and chemical science, economics, management, life and biological science, and the social science
? Regression analysis may be the most widely used statistical technique

? Example 1: delivery time v.s. delivery volume
? Suspect that the time required by a route deliveryman to load and service a machine is related to the number of cases of product delivered
? 25 randomly chosen retail outlet ? The in-outlet delivery time and the volume of
product delivery ? Scatter diagram: display a relationship between
delivery time and delivery volume

? Y: delivery time, x: delivery volume Y = 0 + 1 x +
? Error, :
? The difference between y and 0 + 1 x ? A statistical error, i.e. a random variable ? The effects of the other variables on delivery
time, measurement errors, ...

? Simple linear regression model: Y = 0 + 1 x +
? x: independent (predictor, regressor) variable ? Y: dependent (response) variable ? : error
? If x is fixed, Y is determined by . ? Suppose that E() = 0 and Var() = 2 .
Then E(Y|x) = E(0 + 1 x + ) = 0 + 1 x Var(Y|x) = Var(0 + 1 x + ) = 2
7
? The true regression line is a line of mean values: the height of the regression line at any x is the expected value of Y for that x.
? The slope, 1: the change in the mean of Y for a unit change in x
? The variability of Y at x is determined by the variance of the error
