Conceptual skills: be able to answer questions such as… A: what makes a variable important in a model? large b? small p-value? substantive importance? explained error? B: what are the uses of the various forms of R2? simple or multiple regression, adjusted or not. C: what is an extra sum of squares? D: What does “nested” mean? E: how can multicollinearity affect a regression model? Week 9: Comparing predictor variables and selecting models. Math skills: be able to perform these tasks: A: compare SSE, SSR, and SSTO in nested models. B: use proper notation and calculate Extra Sums of Squares. C: decompose R2 in a multiple regression model D: do an F-test for extra sums of squares. E: look up and interpret p-values from an F-test. Week 9: C
