1. Determining X and Y
2. Calculating the linear relationship
3. Residual analysis
! We can apply the logic of significance testing on linear regression analysis
Multivariate, linear regression analysis

What are statistics?
= a body of methods for obtaining and analyzing data
Population
= a total set of subjects of interest in a research
- Number of subjects = population size = N
!!! Requires a clear definition: who’s in and who’s out?
Sample
= a smaller subset of subjects selected from the research population
- Simple, random selection à representative sample
- Number of sampled subjects = sample size = n
- n is always either equal or smaller than N
Descriptive statistics summarize the information of the data
Inferential statistics provide predictions about an entire population, based on data from a
sample of that population
Variables
Subjects in a population/sample vary from each other with respect to a characteristic
ð a variable = a characteristic that can vary in value among subjects/statistical units in
a sample or population
- Notation: X, Y, Z, x, y, z, …
- Each subject has a particular value on a variable: X1, X2, …, Xn
- Number of different values a variable can take: m
- Measurement scale: something like “ratio”
- m is always equal or smaller than n
- Univariate statistics: 1 variable
- Bivariate statistics: association between 2 variables
- Multivariate statistics: associations between more than 2 variables
Types of variables
Categorical variables: are categories, can’t be counted (f ex: man + female = ???), wouldn’t
make sense, never in numbers
f ex: hair color, gender, religion, favorite show, political preferences, …
= qualitative variable
