1
New cards
Pearson correlation coefficient (r)
conditions: random samples and independent observations
-normality of x and y
-linear trend
-no extreme outliers
2
New cards
properties of r
describes the strength of the linear relationships between 2 numbers
-unitless
3
New cards
range of r
between -1 and 1
4
New cards
interpretation of r
-1 or 1 means perfectly linear
-0 means no relationship
-absolute value indicates strength of linear relationship
-sign indicates direction
5
New cards
strong correlation
r value above .5
- ~.5-.6 is moderately strong
6
New cards
weak correlation
r value below .5
7
New cards
things that don't affect r value
-changing the order of variables
-adding or multiplying by a constant
8
New cards
things that do affect r's value
-influential outliers
9
New cards
correlation cautions
correlation does not equal causation
-x and y can switch and still get the same value
lurking variables
10
New cards
how to calculate r
(sum of zx*zy)/(n-1)
Remember to convert to z scores first!
11
New cards
interpretation
describe: strength, direction, define correlation as a measure of the linear relationship
12
New cards
functions
input only has one outputw
13
New cards
what type of data used to create a function?
two numerical variableswh
14
New cards
why are functions models useful?
1)gives us a characteristic rate of change
2) ability to predict future values
15
New cards
function notation
y=f(x)
dependent is a function of the indpendent
16
New cards
y
output/dependent
17
New cards
x
output/independent
18
New cards
linear relationship
y=b0+b1x
19
New cards
b1
slope: describes the constant rate of change in the dependent variable as the independent variable increases by one unit
20
New cards
b0
y-intercept: describes the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable equals zero
