Regression Analysis
Problem given a data set of one output and multiple inputs

Y 72 76 78 70 68 80 82 65 62 90

X1 12 11 15 10 11 16 14 8 8 18

X2 5 8 6 5 3 9 12 4 3 10

Assume that the relationship between output and inputs are linear, so it can be expressed as

where can be interpreted as noise. In this model are unknown.

So our objective is to reconstruct a prediction model of Y which creates the minimum errors
based on the given data set.

Assume that our forecasting model is

So the error square between the forecasting model and the output of a record is

For example, for the 1st record the error square is

Since we consider all the data set, so the error square must be summed for all records

where n is the number of records in dataset.

For the above data set, n=10.

So to minimize the error square, we take the first derivative corresponding to and set it equal

to zero. Solve these linear equation systems we can obtains values of

With the above example

The next two problems that we concern are

 Whether this regression model is valid (good enough to explain the data)
 Whether we can exclude some inputs, i.e., simplify current model but still can explain the
data

To answer the 1st concern we use the F-test

n: number of data records

Another approach

The response can be expressed under the matrix form as

where the superscript denote the index of the record. The response can be expressed as

To find , following formula is applied

where X’ is the transpose matrix of X.

The covariance matrix of is given as follows:

where

The square roots of the main diagonal elements of this matrix are the standard errors of the
model parameters

To answer the 2nd concern we use the t-test for each coefficient.

In t-test for coefficient the hypothesis testing is: . When we running the
software, for the above data set, we obtain

X2 1.1487 0.3052 3.76 0.007

To look up the value of t-table we use the dof of SSE

Finding the confident interval for the output

Given an input x, we need to find the confident for the output Y(x)

The 100(1-α) percent confidence Y(x) will lie between
