2 Simple Linear Regression: Point estimation Data: observe (xx ii, yy ii ) for i=1,..,n, Model: the simple linear regression model yy ii = ββ 00 + ββ 11 xx ii + εε ii where the εε ii s are iid with mean 0 and var σσ 22. The least squares method: minimize the residuals of sum squares nn ii=11 [YY ii bb 00 + bb 11 xx ii ] 22 So the least squares estimators are ββ 11 = SS xxxx SS xxxx, ββ 00 = yy ββ 11 xx where SS xxxx = xx ii xx 22 = xx ii 22 nn xx 22, SS xxxx = xx ii xx yy ii yy = xx ii yy ii nn xx yy SS yyyy = yy ii yy 22 = yy 22 ii nn yy 22 2

3 Simple Linear Regression: Point estimation The estimator of σ 2 is σσ 22 = SSSS eeeeee nn 22 ββ 00 + ββ 11 xx ii and SSSS eeeeee = nn ii=11 where ee ii = yy ii ee ii 22 = SS yyyy ββ 11 SS xxxx = SS yyyy SS xxxx Warning: two different schools of notation on sum squares ( SS vs. SS in our text) SSSS tttttt = nn ii=11 22 SS xxxx YY ii YY 22 = SS yyyy, the total of sum squares SSSS eeeeee = nn ii=11 YY ii YY 22, the residuals (or error) sum of squares (RSS vs. SSE) SSSS rrrrrr = nn ii=11 YY ii YY 22, the explained (or regression) sum of squares (SSSS EE vs. SSR) 3

4 Inference on ββ ss Assumption: the εε ii ss are iid NN 00, σσ 22 ββ 11 ββ 11 ssss( ββ 11 ) TT nn 22; ssss ββ 11 = σσ SS xxxx ββ 00 ββ 00 ssss( ββ 00 ) TT nn 22 ; ssss ββ 00 = σσ 11 nn + xx 22 SS xxxx Conduct hypothesis testing or find confidence interval for ββ 11 or ββ 00 4

5 Inference at a given xx nnnnnn At a given xx nnnnnn the point estimator of Y is YY = ββ 00 + ββ 11 xx nnnnnn A 11 αα confidence interval on the mean response Y is YY ± tt αα/22,nn 22 σσ 11 nn + xx nnnnnn xx 22 SS xxxx A 11 αα prediction interval on the future observation is YY ± tt αα/22,nn 22 σσ (appropriate for testing data) nn + xx nnnnnn xx 22 SS xxxx 5

6 1.Simple Linear regression: R-square Simple linear regression: Assume we observe n pairs of data yy 11, xx 11, yy 22, xx 22,, yy nn, xx nn. The model is yy ii = ββ 00 + ββ 11 xx ii + εε ii where the εε ii ss are iid NN 00, σσ 22. R-squared: a statistic that effectively summaries how well the X s can be used to predict Y : RR 22 = 11 SSSS eeeeee = 11 yy ii yy ii SSSS tttttt yy ii yy 22 ii = 11 SS yyyy SS 22 xxxx /SS xxxx = SS xxxx SS yyyy SS xxxx SS yyyy called also coefficient of (simple) variation or determination. The larger RR 22 is, the more the predictor X explains the variability in the response Y. 6

7 R-squared RR 22 = 11 SSSS eeeeee = 11 yy ii yy ii SSSS tttttt yy ii yy 22 ii When all observations fall on the fitted line, RR 22 = 11 When the fitted slope ββ 11 = 00, we have ββ 00 = YY aaaaaa YY ii = YY. So RR 22 = 00 The closer RR 22 is to 1, the greater the degree of linear association between X and Y 22 But a high RR 22 does not indicate that useful prediction can be made (CI can be wide) A small RR 22 does not mean that X and Y are uncorrelated. 7

8 Warning: no intercepts In the model without intercepts, YY ii = ββxx ii + εε ii, the R-squared is RR 22 = 11 SSSS eeeeee = 11 nn ii=11 SSSS tttttt YY ii ββxx ii 22 nn ii=11 YY ii 22 8

9 2. correlation analysis The correlation coefficient between RVs X and Y is ρρ = cccccccc XX, YY = EE[ XX μμ xx YY μμ yy ] VVVVVV XX VVVVVV(YY) The estimator of population correlation is known as Pearson s coefficient of correlation rr = nn ii=11 nn ii=11 [ (XXii XX)(YY ii YY] XX ii XX 22 [ nn ii=11 YY ii YY 22 ] = SS xxxx SS xxxx SS yyyy Note that the R-squared RR 22 = rr 22, since R-squared RR 22 = 11 SSSS eeeeee SS yyyy = 11 SS yyyy SS xxxx 22 /SS xxxx 22 = SS xxxx. SS yyyy SS xxxx SS yyyy 9

10 Pearson s correlation Coefficient Properties of rr = SS xxxx SS xxxx SS yyyy = nn ii=11 nn ii=11[ (XXii XX)(YY ii YY] XX ii XX 22 [ nn ii=11 YY ii YY 22 ] 11 rr 11 If Y i tends to increase (decrease) linearly with X i, then r > 0 (r < 0). The closer the points (X i, Y i ) come to forming a straight line, the closer r is to ±11. The magnitude of r is unchanged if either the X or Y sample is transformed linearly The correlation does not depend on which variable is called Y and which is called X. 10

11 Properties of r If r is near ±11, then there is a strong linear relationship between Y and X. Might predict Y from X via linear regression If r is near 0, there is a weak linear relationship between Y and X Note that r=0 does not imply that Y and X are not related. For example, Y i = X i2 when x i =-2:0.1:2 11

12 Example: Data X = Percentage of children immunized against DPT; Y = under-five mortality rate per 1000 live births, in 1992 Nation X Y Nation X Y Nation X Y Bolivia Ethiopia Mexico Brazil Finland 95 7 Poland Cambodia France 95 9 Russian Canada 85 8 Greece 54 9 Senegal China India Turkey Czech Republic Italy UK 90 9 Egypt Japan

13 Example X = Percentage of children immunized against DPT; Y = under-five mortality rate per 1000 live births, in 1992 Question Are Y and X related (associated), and how? x <- c(77, 69, 32, 85, 94, 99, 89, 13, 95, 95, 54, 89, 95, 87, 91, 98, 73, 47, 76, 90); y <- c(118, 65, 184, 8, 43, 12, 55, 208, 7, 9, 9, 124, 10, 6, 33, 16, 32, 145, 87, 9); cor(x,y) [1] (cor(x,y, method = "pearson")) Want to test H 0 : ρ =0 based on magnitude of r 13

14 Test HH 00 : ρρ = 00 The correlation coefficient between RVs X and Y is ρρ = cccccccc XX, YY = EE[ XX μμ xx YY μμ yy ] VVVVVV XX VVVVVV(YY) which is estimated by Pearson s correlation coefficient rr = SS xxxx SS xxxx SS yyyy = nn ii=11 nn ii=11[ (XXii XX)(YY ii YY] XX ii XX 22 [ nn ii=11 YY ii YY 22 ] How to use r to test the hypothesis that there is no correlation between X and Y (HH 00 : ρρ = 00)? Assumption of this question: The (X, Y) s are from a Bivariate normal distribution. 14

15 The relationship of r in LR In the simple linear regression: YY ii = ββ 00 + ββ 11 xx ii + εε ii, we have ββ 11 = SS xxxx SS xxxx = rr SS yyyy SS xxxx, sincee rr = SS xxxx SS xxxx SS yyyy so ββ 11 = 00 if and only rr = 00. Thus, testing H 0 : ρ =0 is equivalent to testing H 0 : β 1 =0. [when the (X, Y) s are from a Bivariate normal distribution and (xx ii, εε ii ) are independent, then ρρ = ββ 11 σσ xx /σσ yy or ββ 11 = ρρσσ yy /σσ xx ] 15

16 Test Statistic When testing H 0 : β 1 =0, the test statistic is TT oooooo = σσ/ ββ 11 SS xxxx Since rr = σσ 22 = SSSS eeeeee nn 22 = SS xxxx SS xxxx SS yyyy, ββ 11 = SS xxxx SS xxxx = rr SS yyyy SS xxxx, 11 nn 22 TT oooooo = rr 22 SS yyyy SS xxxx SS yyyy SS xxxx SS xxxx, we have nn 22 SS yyyy SS xxxx 22 SS xxxx = rr SS xxxx nn rr 22 Under H 0 : ρ =0, T obs has a t-distribution with df=n-2. 16

17 Example X = Percentage of children immunized against DPT; Y = under-five mortality rate per 1000 live births, in 1992 Observe r= and n= 20. To decide whether Y and X are associated, we can formulate it as the problem of testing the null hypothesis HH 00 : ρρ = 00 aginest the alternative hypothesis HH 11 : ρρ 00 Decision Rule: The test statistic is TT oooooo = rr we reject HH 00 at the αα level if and only if TT oooooo tt αα/22,nn 22. nn rr 22 17

18 Example X = Percentage of children immunized against DPT; Y = under-five mortality rate per 1000 live births, in 1992 Now we observe r= and n= 20, so we have Since tt ,1111 = , TT oooooo > tt αα/22,nn 22, and thus we reject H 0 : ρ =0 at the 5% level. Now suppose one claims that ρ=-0.7. Does the observed value differ significantly from this value? 18

19 Key Fact R. A. Fisher showed that ZZ rr = llllll 11+rr 11 rr has approximate normal distribution ZZ rr NN( ρρ llllll ρρ, 11 nn 33 ) where n = # of observations (here and below llllll = llllgg ee, not llllgg 1111 ) The results is not sensitive to the Bivariate normal assumption, and is useful quite broadly 19

20 Decision Rule ZZ rr NN( ρρ llllll ρρ, 11 nn 33 ) In the problem of testing HH 00 : ρρ = ρρ 00 vs. HH 11 : ρρ ρρ 00 The test statistic is ZZ oooooo = rr llllll rr llllll 11 + ρρ ρρ nn 33 and we reject HH 00 at the αα level if ZZ oooooo zzαα 22 [Some useful critical value for standard normal: zz = , zz = , zz = , zz = ] 20

21 Example Observe r= and n= 20. Want to test H 0 : ρ = -0.7 vs H 1 : ρρ -0.7 at 10% level. The observed ZZ rr = Under H 0 : ρ = -0.7, ZZ rr NN llllll 11 + ρρ 11 ρρ, llllll 11+rr 11 rr 11 nn 33 = = NN( , ) The corresponding (normalized) test statistic is ZZ oooooo = zz rr μμ 00 ( ) ( ) = = vvvvrr This value does not exceed Z 0.05 = 1.645, and thus there is no evidence to reject H 0 : ρ = -0.7 at the 10% level. 21

22 Confidence Interval for ρ ZZ rr NN ZZ ρρ, 11 nn 33, ZZ ρρ = How to find confidence Interval for ρ First, ZZ rr ZZ ρρ llllll 11 + ρρ 11 ρρ 11/(nn 33) NN 00, 11. Thus for the observed ZZ rr, 100(1-α)% CI for ZZ ρρ is ZZ rr ± zz αα/22 11 nn 33 = ZZ LL, ZZ UU Second, if ZZ = ρρ llllll then ρρ = ee ρρ ee So transform back to find 100(1-α)% CI for ρ [ ee22zz LL 11 ee 22ZZ LL +11, ee22zz UU 11 ee 22ZZ UU +11 ] 22

23 Example: confidence Interval for ρ The observed ZZ rr = A 90% CI for ZZ ρρ = rr llllll 11 rr 11+ρρ llllll 11 ρρ ZZ rr ± zz αα/22 = is given by 11 nn 33 Thus the 90% CI for ρ is ( ee22 ( ) 11, ee22 ( ) 11 ee 22 ( ) +11 ee 22 ( ) +11 ) = ,

24 Pearson Correlation r The Pearson correlation r can be highly influenced by outliers in one or both samples. If we delete the one extreme case with the largest X and smallest Y, then r can change from -1 to 0!!! To avoid the conclusion depending heavily on a single observation, use nonparametric approach. 24

25 Spearman s rank correlation r S 1. Order the X i s and assign them ranks 2. Do the same for the Y i s, and replace the original data pairs by the pairs of ranks values (Ties are treated by the mid-ranks) 3. The Spearman rank correlation is the Pearson correlation computed from the pairs of ranks. [Then we can use TT oooooo = rr ss nn rr ss 22 for testing] 25

26 Spearman s rank correlation r S X Rank(X) Y Rank(Y) d= Rank(X) Rank(Y) 1 X 1 R x1 Y 1 R y1 d 1 =R x1 - R y1 2 X 2 R x2 Y 2 R y2 d 2 =R x2 - R y2 n X n R xn Y n R yn d n =R xn - R yn If there are no ties 26

28 Spearman s rank correlation r S x <- c(77, 69, 32, 85, 94, 99, 89, 13, 95, 95, 54, 89, 95, 87, 91, 98, 73, 47, 76, 90); y <- c(118, 65, 184, 8, 43, 12, 55, 208, 7, 9, 9, 124, 10, 6, 33, 16, 32, 145, 87, 9); cor(x,y); # Pearson s correlation r [1] cor(x,y, method = "spearman") [1] # Alternative method to compute Spearman s rank correlation a <- rank(x); b <- rank(y); cor(a,b) [1]

29 Example X = Percentage of children immunized against DPT; Y = under-five mortality rate per 1000 live births, in 1992 Spearman s rank correlation rr ss = and n= 20. In the problem of testing H 0 : ρρ = 00 (no association) vs H 1 : ρρ 00, we can use the test statistics TT oooooo = rr ss nn rr ss 22 = and a significant level αα test is to reject H0 if and only if TT oooooo tt αα/22,nn 22. Since t 18, =3.20, we reject H 0 : ρ =0 at the 5% level. 29

30 Spearman s rank correlation r S It is not sensitive to outliers In samples without unusual observations and a linear trend, we often have r S = r. The magnitude of the Spearman correlation does not change if either X or Y or both are monotonically transformed. If r S is noticeably greater than r, then a transformation of the data might provide a stronger linear relationship. 30

31 3. Variable Transformation If the model fit is inadequate, it does not mean that a regression is not useful, it just means that the linear regression you proposed is not useful One problem might be that the relationship between X and Y is not exactly linear. To model the nonlinear relationship, we can transform X and Y (or both) by some nonlinear function, e.g., ff xx = xx aa or log xx. Example: assume (X,Y) are related through yy = γγee θθθθ. We can transformation y to yy = llllll yy and then fit the new model as yy = \logγγ + θθθθ = ββ 00 + ββ 11 xx 31

32 Box-Cox Transformation Does the response Y need transformation? A useful tool is from the MASS library of R to perform Box-Cox Transformation. It considers the power transformation of the forms YY λλ or llllll YY (λλ = 00) and find the maximum likelihood estimate when fitting data to model YY ii λλ = ββ 00 + ββ 11 xx ii + εε ii when εε ii are iid NN 00, σσ 22. Equivalently, the transformation is YY = YYλλ 11 λλ = YYλλ 11 /λλ iiii λλ 00 log YY iiii λλ = 00 When λλ 11, no need to transform Y. 32

33 R Example HW#1, complete GPA data vs ACT score. GPAdata <- read.table(file = " sep=","); lm1 <- lm(v1 ~ V2, data=gpadata) library(mass) boxcox(lm1) ###Or alternatively boxcox(v1 ~ V2, data=gpadata) 33

34 boxcox(lm1) 34

35 boxcox(lm1, lambda=seq(-10,10)) 35

36 boxcox(lm1, lambda=seq(0,5,0.1)) 36

37 boxcox(lm1, lambda=seq(1,3,0.1)) The confidence interval for λλ is about [1.5,2.9]. We see perhaps YY = YY 22 might be best here YY or YY are also possible. Transformation can be useful here. 37

38 Try the following R code GPAdata <- read.table(file = " sep=","); GPAdata$V3 <- GPAdata$V1^2 plot(gpadata$v2, GPAdata$V1, xlab="act", ylab="gpa") plot(gpadata$v2, GPAdata$V3, xlab="act", ylab="gpa Square") model1 <- lm(v1 ~ V2, data= GPAdata) model2 <- lm(v3 ~ V2, data= GPAdata) summary(model1); summary(model2); 38

39 Scatter plots Left: x vs. Original Y Right: x vs. Y^2 39

40 Plot the data and fitted lines Add Fitted regression line to the scatter plots ##If you want to plot two plots together (2 columns) par(mfcol=c(1,2)) plot(gpadata$v2, GPAdata$V1, xlab="act", ylab="gpa") abline(model1); plot(gpadata$v2, GPAdata$V3, xlab="act", ylab="gpa Square") abline(model2) 40
