Forecasting Principles & Practice: 7.1 The linear model
OTextsγ»2 minutes read
Regression models are used to predict one variable's impact on another, with coefficients representing predictor effects, shown through scatter plots and the tslm function in R. Multiple regression expands on this by considering various predictors like income, production, savings, and unemployment, analyzing correlations through scatter plots and correlation coefficients.
Insights
- In regression models, the relationship between variables is analyzed to predict outcomes, with coefficients indicating the impact of predictors on the response variable.
- Transitioning from simple to multiple regression allows for a more comprehensive analysis by incorporating multiple predictors, such as income, production, savings, and unemployment, to better understand their collective influence on the response variable.
