and then I also want to go ahead and dial down these decimals.
[3]
Let's do it to two decimal places. And then we'll go back and increase our
[8]
p-values just a bit. So dial that down to two, that looks good. And then for my p
[14]
value, which is significance F under ANOVA, and then the p-values here, let's go
[20]
to increase these a bit more. So if we're comparing them to any other results, from
[24]
any other analyses, SPSS or what-have-you, we can go ahead and make sure that they
[29]
match up.
[31]
OK that looks good. So I'll go ahead and shrink these just a bit more.
[40]
Alright, so in multiple regression, there's two things that we're dealing
[43]
with.
[44]
We're dealing with the overall fit of what's called our model, and our model is
[49]
where we use our three predictors to try and predict first-year college GPA. So
[56]
that's our model, our whole, all of our values, that constitutes our model. And
[61]
we're trying to assess how well the model fits overall, how well of a job did
[67]
the three predictors help us predict college GPA overall, and then we also
[75]
want to know how did the individual predictors do. So we're looking at two
[79]
things, we're looking at the overall usefulness of the model, and then the
[84]
usefulness of the individual predictors SAT score, social support, and gender. So
[91]
we'll get started first with the overall fit. And that really concerns this first
[96]
table of output, as well as the second table output. So let's start here. And in
[101]
this video, we're just going to highlight some of the key features of multiple
[105]
regression. In other videos we'll be diving in in more detail into some of these
[110]
other aspects, such as the ANOVA tables, where these values come from, and so
[116]
forth.
[117]
So what we want to do in this video, focusing on the key values, we're going to
[121]
be looking at R-square, we're going to be looking at the significance F, or the
[125]
p-value under the ANOVA results, and we're also going to be looking at the
[130]
p-values under, I'll call this coefficients here, for these three values,
[135]
for our 3 predictors. OK so I put in boldface type the key values that we're
[141]
interested in in this video. And the first is R-squared. R-squared indicates
[147]
how well our three predictors, SAT score, social support, and gender, did as a set
[154]
in predicting college GPA.
[157]
Did they do a good job, did they do a bad job and so on. That's what R-squared is a
[161]
measure of. And R-square ranges from 0 to 1.
[165]
And the way we would interpret it, first of all, in this example, R-square is equal to
[169]
.50, and we could interpret it as follows:
[173]
taken as a set, the predictors SAT score, social support, and gender, account for
[181]
50% of the variance in college GPA.
[186]
So in other words when we have an R-square what we do is we convert this
[189]
to a percentage, in terms of interpretation, and that indicates the
[194]
amount of variance in the dependent variable that was accounted for by the
[199]
set of the independent variables. So since our decimal is .50, we convert that
[206]
to a percent. That tells us that our predictors, SAT score, social support, and
[211]
gender, collectively as a group, accounted for 50% of the variance in
[217]
college GPA. Now it's important to note here that this doesn't mean that each of
[223]
these three predictors accounted for one-third, exactly, of the 50%
[229]
as there are three of them. So approximately SAT score accounted for
[234]
17%, social support accounted for 17%, and gender accounted
[238]
for 17%. It does not mean that whatsoever.
[242]
All it means is that when all three of those predictors are entered into this
[246]
analysis or into this model, we can call it, as a group, they account for fifty
[252]
percent of the variance in college GPA. Now it may be that SAT score accounts for
[257]
45% of the 50, we don't know yet at this point. All we know is a
[263]
group, they account for 50%.
[266]
How much variance we account for really depends on the discipline that one is
[270]
working in. It can vary quite a bit. In the social sciences accounting for 50,
[276]
60, or 70% of the variance, in most applications, is pretty good. But in
[281]
other areas, biology, chemistry, you may expect R-Square of .99 if you
[286]
expect some process to be replicated almost identically. So it really depends
[291]
on what you're working in, what area. But in the work I do, 50% would be
[296]
considered pretty good we're working with predicting behavior in people.
[301]
OK, next we have the ANOVA table. So the ANOVA table tells us whether or not this
[309]
R-squared is significantly greater than 0. So the ANOVA table is testing, overall,
[317]
the three predictors, SAT score, social support, and gender, do they predict
[324]
college GPA significantly.
