Beta regression is a form of regression which is used when the response variable, , takes values within (,) and can be assumed to follow a beta distribution. [1] It is generalisable to variables which takes values in the arbitrary open interval ( a , b ) {\displaystyle (a,b)} through transformations. [ 1 ]
In statistics, standardized (regression) coefficients, also called beta coefficients or beta weights, are the estimates resulting from a regression analysis where the underlying data have been standardized so that the variances of dependent and independent variables are equal to 1. [1]
In probability theory and statistics, the beta distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions defined on the interval [0, 1] or (0, 1) in terms of two positive parameters, denoted by alpha (α) and beta (β), that appear as exponents of the variable and its complement to 1, respectively, and control the shape of the distribution.
The inner curves represent the estimated range of values considering the variation in both slope and intercept. The outer curves represent a prediction for a new measurement. [22] Regression models predict a value of the Y variable given known values of the X variables.
The formulas given in the previous section allow one to calculate the point estimates of α and β — that is, the coefficients of the regression line for the given set of data. However, those formulas do not tell us how precise the estimates are, i.e., how much the estimators α ^ {\displaystyle {\widehat {\alpha }}} and β ^ {\displaystyle ...
Example of a cubic polynomial regression, which is a type of linear regression. Although polynomial regression fits a curve model to the data, as a statistical estimation problem it is linear, in the sense that the regression function E(y | x) is linear in the unknown parameters that are estimated from the data.
The function B(p,q) is the beta function. The parameter is the scale parameter and can thus be set to without loss of generality, but it is usually made explicit as in the function above. The location parameter (not included in the formula above) is usually left implicit and set to .
The beta-binomial is a one-dimensional version of the Dirichlet-multinomial distribution as the binomial and beta distributions are univariate versions of the multinomial and Dirichlet distributions respectively. The special case where α and β are integers is also known as the negative hypergeometric distribution.
