Questions tagged [regression]

This tag is for questions on (linear or nonlinear) regression, which is a way of describing how one variable, the outcome, is numerically related to predictor variables. The dependent variable is also referred to as $~Y~$, dependent or response and is plotted on the vertical axis (ordinate) of a graph.

I've been given the following function (reciprocal of 2nd order polynomial): $$f(x) = \frac{1}{ax^2+bx+c}$$ and an interval $I=[x_0, x_1]$. I need to find a 3rd order polynomial $g(x)=a^\prime x^3+b^\...

In my AP Statistics class, the coverage of Pearson's Correlation Coefficient was pretty limited. It boiled down to "it's a measure of correlation such that $\hat{z_{y}}=rz_{x}$", and he only ...

For a given integer $s \in \{1, \ldots, d\}$, we say that $\mathbf{X} \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times d}$ satisfies a restricted isometry property of order $s$ with constant $\delta_s(\mathbf{X}) > 0$ if $...

I have come to learn that while multicollinearity affects the model "stability" and ability to examine individual affects, but does reduce overall model predictive power. I am interested in ...

Note that I am performing a linear regression of a predictor variable $x_{i}$ with $i \in (1, 2 ..,m)$ on a response variable $y$ in a finite population of size $N_{t}$. Since the linear regression is ...

The scalar target $z$ is modeled as $$f(x,y) = \underline c^T \underline b, \qquad \underline b=\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ x \\ ln(y+d) \\ x \cdot ln(y+d) \end{bmatrix},$$ with unknown parameter $d$ and ...

Say we perform regression with independent variable $x_1$ and dependent variable $y$, get a best fit line and compute the SSE. Then we realize that we have data for a second independent variable $x_2$ ...

Question Let $n,m\in\mathbb{N}$ and $a:=(a_0,\cdots,a_m)^T\in\mathbb{R}^{m+1}$, then given a nonempty set $P:=\{(x_1,y_1),\cdots,(x_n,y_n)\}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2$, find $a_*\in\mathbb{R}^{m+1}$ such ...

All, To deduce the regression coefficient $$c=(A^T A)^{-1} A^T B $$, we assume that the minimum of the square root error $\sqrt{\sum({y_i - y_{hat})}^2}$, reduces to finding the minimum of the ...

I have given $i=1,...,m$ linear independent unit vectors $\boldsymbol{x}_i\in\mathbb{R}^n$ with $\|\boldsymbol{x}_i\|=1$ and $n>m$. I define the matrix $\boldsymbol{X}\in\mathbb{R}^{n \times m}$, ...

I'm trying to do a polynomial regression on a series of points $(t_i,\vec{p}_i)$, where $\vec{p}_i$ is a vector of position at time $t_i$. I wouldn't have any problems except the values of $\vec{p}_i$...

I have a set of data points looking as if they could follow a skew-normal distribution when plotted. The explicit way the data is generated is unknown, but 2 things are constant for each set {$x,y$} ...

Suppose I run OLS on $$Z_t = \alpha_z + \beta_z \times Y_t + \varepsilon_{z, t},$$ where $\varepsilon_{z,t}$ is a Gaussian mean-zero and homoscedastic error term which is uncorrelated both with other ...
