Regression Formula Correlation Coefficient. Therefore the linear regression equation is. It is also called pearson s coefficient as karl pearson invented it and it measures linear associations.
According to this property if we denote the regression coefficients as b yx b and b xy b then the correlation coefficient is. When expressed as a percent r 2 represents the percent of variation in the dependent variable y that can be explained by variation in the independent variable x using the regression line. The coefficient of determination r 2 is equal to the square of the correlation coefficient.
A r s y s x the calculation of a standard deviation involves taking the positive square root of a nonnegative number.
The formula for the slope a of the regression line is. Therefore the calculation is as follows r 4 25 032 24 262 55 317 31 4 20 855 74 262 55 2 4 30 058 55 317 31 2 r 16 820 21 16 831 57. That is when y 0. In this way it represents the degree to which the line slopes upwards or downwards.
