10.1: Regression
When comparing two different variables, two questions come to mind: “Is there a relationship between two variables?” and “How strong is that relationship?” These questions can be answered using regression and correlation . Regression answers whether there is a relationship (again this book will explore linear only) and correlation answers how strong the linear relationship is. To introduce both of these concepts, it is easier to look at a set of data.
Example \(\PageIndex{1}\) if there is a relationship
Is there a relationship between the alcohol content and the number of calories in 12-ounce beer? To determine if there is one a random sample was taken of beer’s alcohol content and calories ("Calories in beer," 2011), and the data is in Example \(\PageIndex{1}\).
| Brand | Brewery | Alcohol Content | Calories in 12 oz |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Sky Scape Goat Pale Ale | Big Sky Brewing | 4.70% | 163 |
| Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale | Sierra Nevada | 6.70% | 215 |
| Steel Reserve | MillerCoors | 8.10% | 222 |
| O'Doul's | Anheuser Busch | 0.40% | 70 |
| Coors Light | MillerCoors | 4.15% | 104 |
| Genesee Cream Ale | High Falls Brewing | 5.10% | 162 |
| Sierra Nevada Summerfest Beer | Sierra Nevada | 5.00% | 158 |
| Michelob Beer | Anheuser Busch | 5.00% | 155 |
| Flying Dog Doggie Style | Flying Dog Brewery | 4.70% | 158 |
| Big Sky I.P.A. | Big Sky Brewing | 6.20% | 195 |
Solution
To aid in figuring out if there is a relationship, it helps to draw a scatter plot of the data. It is helpful to state the random variables, and since in an algebra class the variables are represented as x and y , those labels will be used here. It helps to state which variable is x and which is y .
State random variables
x = alcohol content in the beer
y = calories in 12 ounce beer
This scatter plot looks fairly linear. However, notice that there is one beer in the list that is actually considered a non-alcoholic beer. That value is probably an outlier since it is a non-alcoholic beer. The rest of the analysis will not include O’Doul’s. You cannot just remove data points, but in this case it makes more sense to, since all the other beers have a fairly large alcohol content.
To find the equation for the linear relationship, the process of regression is used to find the line that best fits the data (sometimes called the best fitting line). The process is to draw the line through the data and then find the distances from a point to the line, which are called the residuals. The regression line is the line that makes the square of the residuals as small as possible, so the regression line is also sometimes called the least squares line. The regression line and the residuals are displayed in Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\) .
To find the regression equation (also known as best fitting line or least squares line)
Given a collection of paired sample data, the regression equation is
\(\hat{y}=a+b x\)
where the slope = \(b=\dfrac{S S_{\mathrm{xy}}}{S S_{x}}\) and y -intercept = \(a=\overline{y}-b \overline{x}\)
Definition \(\PageIndex{1}\)
The residuals are the difference between the actual values and the estimated values.
residual \(=y-\hat{y}\)
Definition \(\PageIndex{2}\)
SS stands for sum of squares. So you are summing up squares. With the subscript xy , you aren’t really summing squares, but you can think of it that way in a weird sense.
\(\begin{array}{l}{S S_{x y}=\sum(x-\overline{x})(y-\overline{y})} \\ {S S_{x}=\sum(x-\overline{x})^{2}} \\ {S S_{y}=\sum(y-\overline{y})^{2}}\end{array}\)
Note
The easiest way to find the regression equation is to use the technology.
The independent variable , also called the explanatory variable or predictor variable , is the x -value in the equation. The independent variable is the one that you use to predict what the other variable is. The dependent variable depends on what independent value you pick. It also responds to the explanatory variable and is sometimes called the response variable . In the alcohol content and calorie example, it makes slightly more sense to say that you would use the alcohol content on a beer to predict the number of calories in the beer.
Definition \(\PageIndex{3}\)
The population equation looks like:
\(\begin{array}{l}{y=\beta_{o}+\beta_{1} x} \\ {\beta_{o}=\text { slope }} \\ {\beta_{1}=y \text { -intercept }}\end{array}\)
\(\hat{y}\) is used to predict y .
Assumptions of the regression line:
- The set \((x, y)\) of ordered pairs is a random sample from the population of all such possible \((x, y)\) pairs.
-
For each fixed value of
x
, the
y
-values have a normal distribution. All of the
y
distributions have the same variance, and for a given
x
-value, the distribution of
y
-values has a mean that lies on the least squares line. You also assume that for a fixed
y
, each
x
has its own normal distribution. This is difficult to figure out, so you can use the following to determine if you have a normal distribution.
- Look to see if the scatter plot has a linear pattern.
- Examine the residuals to see if there is randomness in the residuals. If there is a pattern to the residuals, then there is an issue in the data.
Example \(\PageIndex{2}\) find the equation of the regression line
- Is there a positive relationship between the alcohol content and the number of calories in 12-ounce beer? To determine if there is a positive linear relationship, a random sample was taken of beer’s alcohol content and calories for several different beers ("Calories in beer," 2011), and the data are in Example \(\PageIndex{2}\).
- Use the regression equation to find the number of calories when the alcohol content is 6.50%.
- Use the regression equation to find the number of calories when the alcohol content is 2.00%.
- Find the residuals and then plot the residuals versus the x -values.
| Brand | Brewery | Alcohol Content | Calories in 12 oz |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Sky Scape Goat Pale Ale | Big Sky Brewing | 4.70% | 163 |
| Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale | Sierra Nevada | 6.70% | 215 |
| Steel Reserve | MillerCoors | 8.10% | 222 |
| O'Doul's | Anheuser Busch | 0.40% | 70 |
| Coors Light | MillerCoors | 4.15% | 104 |
| Genesee Cream Ale | High Falls Brewing | 5.10% | 162 |
| Sierra Nevada Summerfest Beer | Sierra Nevada | 5.00% | 158 |
| Michelob Beer | Anheuser Busch | 5.00% | 155 |
| Flying Dog Doggie Style | Flying Dog Brewery | 4.70% | 158 |
| Big Sky I.P.A. | Big Sky Brewing | 6.20% | 195 |
Solution
a. State random variables
x = alcohol content in the beer
y = calories in 12 ounce beer
Assumptions check:
- A random sample was taken as stated in the problem.
-
The distribution for each calorie value is normally distributed for every value of alcohol content in the beer.
- From Example \(\PageIndex{1}\), the scatter plot looks fairly linear.
- The residual versus the x -values plot looks fairly random. (See Figure \(\PageIndex{5}\) .)
It appears that the distribution for calories is a normal distribution.
To find the regression equation on the TI-83/84 calculator, put the x ’s in L1 and the y ’s in L2. Then go to STAT, over to TESTS, and choose LinRegTTest. The setup is in Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\) . The reason that >0 was chosen is because the question was asked if there was a positive relationship. If you are asked if there is a negative relationship, then pick <0. If you are just asked if there is a relationship, then pick \(\neq 0\). Right now the choice will not make a different, but it will be important later.
From this you can see that
\(\hat{y}=25.0+26.3 x\)
To find the regression equation using R, the command is lm(dependent variable ~ independent variable), where ~ is the tilde symbol located on the upper left of most keyboards. So for this example, the command would be lm(calories ~ alcohol), and the output would be
Call:
lm(formula = calories ~ alcohol)
Coefficients:
(Intercept) alcohol
25.03 26.32
From this you can see that the y -intercept is 25.03 and the slope is 26.32. So the regression equation is \(\hat{y}=25.0+26.3 x\).
Remember, this is an estimate for the true regression. A different random sample would produce a different estimate.
b. \(\begin{array}{l}{x_{o}=6.50} \\ {\hat{y}=25.0+26.3(6.50)=196 \text { calories }}\end{array}\)
If you are drinking a beer that is 6.50% alcohol content, then it is probably close to 196 calories. Notice, the mean number of calories is 170 calories. This value of 196 seems like a better estimate than the mean when looking at the original data. The regression equation is a better estimate than just the mean.
c. \(\begin{array}{l}{x_{o}=2.00} \\ {\hat{y}=25.0+26.3(2.00)=78 \text { calories }}\end{array}\)
If you are drinking a beer that is 2.00% alcohol content, then it has probably close to 78 calories. This doesn’t seem like a very good estimate. This estimate is what is called extrapolation. It is not a good idea to predict values that are far outside the range of the original data. This is because you can never be sure that the regression equation is valid for data outside the original data.
d. To find the residuals, find \(\hat{y}\) for each x -value. Then subtract each \(\hat{y}\) from the given y value to find the residuals. Realize that these are sample residuals since they are calculated from sample values. It is best to do this in a spreadsheet.
| x | y | \(\hat{y}=25.0+26.3 x\) | \(y-\hat{y}\) |
| 4.70 | 163 | 148.61 | 14.390 |
| 6.70 | 215 | 201.21 | 13.790 |
| 8.10 | 222 | 238.03 | -16.030 |
| 4.15 | 104 | 134.145 | -30.145 |
| 5.10 | 162 | 159.13 | 2.870 |
| 5.00 | 158 | 156.5 | 1.500 |
| 5.00 | 155 | 156.5 | -1.500 |
| 4.70 | 158 | 148.61 | 9.390 |
| 6.20 | 195 | 188.06 | 6.940 |
Notice the residuals add up to close to 0. They don’t add up to exactly 0 in this example because of rounding error. Normally the residuals add up to 0.
So the first residual is 14.271307 and it belongs to the first x value. The residual 13.634092 belongs to the second x value, and so forth.
You can graph the residuals versus the independent variable.
The graph of the residuals versus the x-values is in Figure \(\PageIndex{5}\) . They appear to be somewhat random.
Notice, that the 6.50% value falls into the range of the original x -values. The processes of predicting values using an x within the range of original x -values is called interpolating . The 2.00% value is outside the range of original x -values. Using an x -value that is outside the range of the original x -values is called extrapolating . When predicting values using interpolation, you can usually feel pretty confident that that value will be close to the true value. When you extrapolate, you are not really sure that the predicted value is close to the true value. This is because when you interpolate, you know the equation that predicts, but when you extrapolate, you are not really sure that your relationship is still valid. The relationship could in fact change for different x -values.
An example of this is when you use regression to come up with an equation to predict the growth of a city, like Flagstaff, AZ. Based on analysis it was determined that the population of Flagstaff would be well over 50,000 by 1995. However, when a census was undertaken in 1995, the population was less than 50,000. This is because they extrapolated and the growth factor they were using had obviously changed from the early 1990’s. Growth factors can change for many reasons, such as employment growth, employment stagnation, disease, articles saying great place to live, etc. Realize that when you extrapolate, your predicted value may not be anywhere close to the actual value that you observe.
What does the slope mean in the context of this problem?
\(m=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\dfrac{\Delta \text { calories }}{\Delta \text { alcohol content }}=\dfrac{26.3 \text { calories }}{1 \%}\)
The calories increase 26.3 calories for every 1% increase in alcohol content.
The y -intercept in many cases is meaningless. In this case, it means that if a drink has 0 alcohol content, then it would have 25.0 calories. This may be reasonable, but remember this value is an extrapolation so it may be wrong.
Consider the residuals again. According to the data, a beer with 6.7% alcohol has 215 calories. The predicted value is 201 calories.
Residual = actual - predicted
=215 - 201
=14
This deviation means that the actual value was 14 above the predicted value. That isn’t that far off. Some of the actual values differ by a large amount from the predicted value. This is due to variability in the dependent variable. The larger the residuals the less the model explains the variability in the dependent variable. There needs to be a way to calculate how well the model explains the variability in the dependent variable. This will be explored in the next section.
The following example demonstrates the process to go through when using the formulas for finding the regression equation, though it is better to use technology. This is because if the linear model doesn’t fit the data well, then you could try some of the other models that are available through technology.
Example \(\PageIndex{3}\) calculating the regression equation with the formula
Is there a relationship between the alcohol content and the number of calories in 12-ounce beer? To determine if there is one a random sample was taken of beer’s alcohol content and calories ("Calories in beer," 2011), and the data are in Example \(\PageIndex{2}\). Find the regression equation from the formula.

Cigarette Sales (per Capita) Bladder Cancer Deaths (per 100 thousand) Cigarette Sales (per Capita) Bladder Cancer Deaths (per 100 Thousand) 18.20 2.90 42.40 6.54 25.82 3.52 28.64 5.98 18.24 2.99 21.16 2.90 28.60 4.46 29.14 5.30 31.10 5.11 19.96 2.89 33.60 4.78 26.38 4.47 40.46 5.60 23.44 2.93 28.27 4.46 23.78 4.89 20.10 3.08 29.18 4.99 27.91 4.75 18.06 3.25 26.18 4.09 20.94 3.64 22.12 4.23 20.08 2.94 21.84 2.91 22.57 3.21 23.44 2.86 14.00 3.31 21.58 4.65 25.89 4.63 28.92 4.79 21.17 4.04 25.91 5.21 21.25 5.14 26.92 4.69 22.86 4.78 24.96 5.27 28.04 3.20 22.06 3.72 30.34 3.46 16.08 3.06 23.75 3.95 27.56 4.04 23.32 3.72 Table \(\PageIndex{13}\): Number of Cigarettes and Number of Bladder Cancer Deaths in 1960 -
The weight of a car can influence the mileage that the car can obtain. A random sample of cars’ weights and mileage was collected and are in Example \(\PageIndex{14}\) ("Passenger car mileage," 2013). Create a scatter plot and find a regression equation between weight of cars and mileage. Then use the regression equation to find the mileage on a car that weighs 3800 pounds and on a car that weighs 2000 pounds. Which mileage that you calculated do you think is closer to the true mileage? Why?
Weight (100 pounds) Mileage (mpg) 22.5 53.3 22.5 41.1 22.5 38.9 25.0 40.9 27.5 46.9 27.5 36.3 30.0 32.2 30.0 32.2 30.0 31.5 30.0 31.4 30.0 31.4 35.0 32.6 35.0 31.3 35.0 31.3 35.0 28.0 35.0 28.0 35.0 28.0 40.0 23.6 40.0 23.6 40.0 23.4 40.0 23.1 45.0 19.5 45.0 17.2 45.0 17.0 55.0 13.2 Table \(\PageIndex{14}\): Weights and Mileages of Cars
