1 Simple Linear Regression I – Least Squares Estimation
1 Simple Linear Regression I Least Squares EstimationTextbook , we have worked with a random variablexthat comes from a population that isnormally distributed with mean and variance 2. We have seen that we can writexin termsof and a random error component , that is,x= + . For the time being, we are going tochange our notation for our random variable fromxtoy. So, we now writey= + . We will nowfind it useful to call the random variableyadependentorresponse variable. Many times, theresponse variable of interest may be related to the value(s) of one or more known or controllableindependentorpredictor variables. Consider the following situations:LR1A college recruiter would like to be able topredicta potential incoming student s first yearGPA (y) based on known information concerning high school GPA (x1) and college entranceexamination score (x2).
LR3 A psychologist is interested in testing whether the amount of time to become proficient in a foreign language (y) is related to the child’s age (x). In each case we have at least one variable that is known (in some cases it is controllable), and a response variable that is a random variable.
