  2. Dependent and independent variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_and_independent...

    A variable is considered dependent if it depends on an independent variable. Dependent variables are studied under the supposition or demand that they depend, by some law or rule (e.g., by a mathematical function), on the values of other variables. Independent variables, in turn, are not seen as depending on any other variable in the scope of ...

  3. Coefficient of determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_of_determination

    Ordinary least squares regression of Okun's law.Since the regression line does not miss any of the points by very much, the R 2 of the regression is relatively high.. In statistics, the coefficient of determination, denoted R 2 or r 2 and pronounced "R squared", is the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s).

  4. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    The response variable may be non-continuous ("limited" to lie on some subset of the real line). For binary (zero or one) variables, if analysis proceeds with least-squares linear regression, the model is called the linear probability model. Nonlinear models for binary dependent variables include the probit and logit model.

  5. Simple linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_linear_regression

    In SLR, there is an underlying assumption that only the dependent variable contains measurement error; if the explanatory variable is also measured with error, then simple regression is not appropriate for estimating the underlying relationship because it will be biased due to regression dilution.

  6. Correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation

    For continuous variables, multiple alternative measures of dependence were introduced to address the deficiency of Pearson's correlation that it can be zero for dependent random variables (see [9] and reference references therein for an overview). They all share the important property that a value of zero implies independence.

  7. Linear regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_regression

    In the formula above we consider n observations of one dependent variable and p independent variables. Thus, Y i is the i th observation of the dependent variable, X ij is i th observation of the j th independent variable, j = 1, 2, ..., p. The values β j represent parameters to be estimated, and ε i is the i th independent identically ...

  8. Fraction of variance unexplained - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction_of_variance...

    In statistics, the fraction of variance unexplained (FVU) in the context of a regression task is the fraction of variance of the regressand (dependent variable) Y which cannot be explained, i.e., which is not correctly predicted, by the explanatory variables X.

  9. Logistic regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_regression

    x m,i (also called independent variables, explanatory variables, predictor variables, features, or attributes), and a binary outcome variable Y i (also known as a dependent variable, response variable, output variable, or class), i.e. it can assume only the two possible values 0 (often meaning "no" or "failure") or 1 (often meaning "yes" or ...
