R - Multiple regression - Quizz
<quiz display=simple > {The multiple correlation (R) is: (check all that apply)
|type="[]"} +The correlation between predicted and observed scores. -The sum of the simple r's. -The highest simple r. +Always between 0 and 1 (inclusive).
{
Answer >>
R is the correlation between predicted and observed scores when there are two or more predictors. It is always between 0 and 1.
}
{In multiple regression there are:
|type="[]"} -multiple criterion variables. +multiple predictor variables. -two predictor variables.
{
Answer >>
Having two or more predictor variables is what distinguishes multiple regression from simple regression.
}
{The difference between a regression weight and a beta weight is:
|type="[]"} -A regression weight assumes linearity. -A beta weight is for the population while a regression weight is for the sample. -A regression weight is less biased. +A beta weight is a standardized regression weight.
{
Answer >>
A beta weight is a standardized regression weight.

{In the regression equation Y' = b1X1 + b2X2 + A, if b1 = 5, then how much would the predicted value of Y differ for two observations that had the same value of X2 but differed by 7 on X1?
|type="{}"} { 35 }
{
Answer >>
35
}
{The difference between a regression weight and a regression coefficient is: (check all that apply)
|type="[]"} -The regression weight is more important. -The regression weight is unbiased. -The regression weight is added rather than multiplied.
{
Answer >>
They are synonymous.
}
{A regression weight is a partial slope because:
|type="[]"} +It is the slope when the part of the predictor independent of the other predictors is used to predict the criterion. -It is only one of several slopes, so it is only part of the prediction equation. -It is the relationship between the significant part of a predictor and the criterion. -It is only an estimate of the true slope and so is a partial solution.
{
Answer >>
It is the slope when the part of the predictor independent of the other predictors is used to predict the criterion. The other predictors are "partialled out."

{The sum of squares explained is 200 and the sum of squares error is 100. What is the R2?
|type="{}"} { 0.667 }
{
Answer >>
0.667
}
{The sum of the simple r2's is typically
|type="[]"} -less than R2 -equal to R2 +greater than R2
{
Answer >>
Greater than R squared. Typically there is overlap in the variance explained by the predictors.
}
{Which of the following assumptions pertain to inferential statistics in multiple regression?
|type="[]"} -The predictor variables are normally distributed. -The criterion variable is normally distributed. +The errors of prediction (the residuals) are normally distributed. +The variance about the regression line is the same for all predicted values. +The predictor variables are linearly related to the criterion.
{
Answer >>
Residuals are normally distributed. The variance about the regression line is the same for all predicted values (homoscedasticity). The predictor variables are linearly related to the criterion.
