CHAPTER 12
MULTIPLE REGRESSION: CONCEPTS AND CALCULATION
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Understand the nature of multiple regression and the calculation of basic multiple regression results
• Understand the relationship between multiple regression and matrices
Chapter eleven considered simple linear regression, its calculation, and its interpretation. This chapter extends the simple linear regression model to include more than one predictor variable. This is what is known as multiple regression. This chapter will consider the nature of multiple regression and the calculation of the basic multiple regression results.
12.1 INTRODUCTION
In introducing the multiple regression model, we will contrast it to simple linear regression. In this contrast, the ...
