The issues of validity and reliability are critical when evaluating your regression model. For reliability the most significant issues are serial correlation, heteroscedasticity and collinearity. What are these issues and how do they affect the reliability of our regression model? And how can we spot them if they are there?
The main purpose of the regression analysis was to isolate the
relationship between each independent variable and the dependent
variable. The interpretation of the regression coefficient is that
it represents the average change of the dependent variable for each
transformation of 1 unit into independent variables when you hold
the other independent variables. This last section is important to
the discussion of plurality.
The idea is that you can change the value of one independent
variable and another. However, when the independent variables are
related, it appears that the change in one variable is related to
the displacement in another variable. The stronger the
relationship, the harder it is to change one variable without
changing another. For the model, it is difficult to assess the
relationship between each of the independent variables and the
dependent variable, since the independent variable tends to change
unilaterally.
Multi-Structural Functions: This type occurs when we create
templates with other words. In other words, it is a product of the
model we refer to and does not exist in the data itself. For
example, if the word square X is to make a model curved, there is
clearly a correlation between X and X2.
Specific multidimensional data: This type
of multifunctionality exists in direct data, not an artifact of our
model. Observational experiments are likely to show such
multidimensionality.

As mentioned in Topic#1 for this week, the issues of validity and reliability are critical when evaluating your regression model. For reliability the most significant issues are serial correlation, heteroscedasticity and collinearity. What are these issues and how do they affect the reliability of our regression model? And how can we spot them if they are there?
What is the primary purpose of the third step when you are evaluating a linear regression model? Multiple Choice To determine if the model has negative serial correlation. To evaluate the explanatory power of the model. To understand whether the relationship is statistically significant at the desired level of confidence. To assess whether the model is logical.
What did the book mention is the fifth step for evaluating a multiple regression model? Multiple Choice Determine the explanatory power of the model. Test for serial correlation. Check for multicollinearity. Test for statistical significance.
When evaluating a multiple regression model, for example when we regress dependent variable Y on two independent variables X1 and X2, a commonly used goodness of fit measure is: A. Correlation between Y and X1 B. Correlation between Y and X2 C. Correlation between X1 and X2 D. Adjusted-R2 E. None of the above
What is meant by the terms validity and reliability? What is the difference between the two terms? How do both affect generalizability? Use an example to support your explanation.
Evaluating a regression model: A regression was run to determine if there is a relationship between hours of TV watched per day (x) and number of situps a person can do (y). The results of the regression were: y = − 0.693 ⋅ x + 28.802 , with an R-squared value of 0.571536. Assume the model indicates a significant relationship between hours of TV watched and the number of situps a person can do. Use the model to predict the...
which of the following is correct, when we have pure serial correlation in a regression? 12 Multiple Choice ) we can use first differencing model only if the serial correlation is first order. 0 the error terms of the first differnced model are not serially correlated. ) if the first differenced method is applied correctly, the coefficients of the regression are unbiased and efficient O All of the above choices are correct
Why is the first step in the regression model evaluation so important? Multiple Choice We desire the explanatory power of the model to be at least 84% of the variation in the dependent variable. We want the relationship to be statistically significant at the desired level of confidence. We would never want to use a relationship that does not conform to business/economic logic. We need to determine if the Durbin-Watson test is within our range of zero to four to...
When you develop a research project, you need to have a reliable and valid method of measurement in your study. how will you address the issues of reliability and validity? What concerns do you have over reliability and validity in a study and how will you overcome these concerns? Do you have any recommendations for improving reliability and validity?
What are some issues to consider when using face validity? What are some potential pitfalls to avoid, and how would you avoid them? Give a couple examples
