Setting: We have a dependent variable Y and several candidate independent variables. Question: Should we use all of them?
Why do we run Multiple Regression? 1. Obtain estimates of individual coefficients in a model (+ or -, etc.) 2. Screen variables to determine which have a significant effect on the model 3. Arrive at the most effective (and efficient) prediction model
The problem: Collinearity among the independent variables -- high correlation between 2 independent variables -- one independent variable nearly a linear combination of 2 others -- etc. Example:x1 = total income x2 = bonus x3 = monthly income Note:x1 = 12x3 + x2 -- singularity -- SAS cannot use all 3
Effects of Collinearity • parameter estimates are highly variable and unreliable • - parameter estimates may even have the opposite sign from what is reasonable • may have significant F but none of the t-tests are significant Variable Selection Techniques Techniques for “being careful” about which variables are put into the model
Variable Selection Procedures • Forward selection • Backward Elimination • Stepwise • Best subset
Forward Selection: Step 1: Choose Xj that has highest R2 (i.e. has the highest correlation with Y) -- call it X1 Step 2: Choose another Xj to go along with X1 by finding the one that maximizes R2 Note: This new R2 will be at least as large as the one in Step 1. Problem: Has the new variable increased R2 enough to be “useful”? Solution: Examine the significance level (p) of the new variable -- keep variable if p < SLENTRY (I used SLENTRY = .15 in example) Procedure continues until no new variables satisfy entry criteria

Plots for Residual Analysis for the Final Model, i.e. x1 x3 ID Predicted Values
Backward Elimination • Begin with all independent variables in the model • Find the independent variable that is “least useful” in predicting the dependent variable(i.e. smallest R2, F (or t), etc.) • delete this variable if p < SLSTAY • Continue the process until no further variables are deleted
Stepwise Selection • Add independent variables one at a time as in Forward Selection • At each stage perform backward elimination to see whether any variables should be removed
Best Subset Regression • Examine criteria for all acceptable subsets of each “size”, i.e. # of independent variables • Criteria: R2, adjusted R2, Cp
Adjusted R2 • -- adjusts for the number of independent variables • -- penalizes excessive use of independent variables • -- useful for comparing competing models with differing number of independent variables - Cp statistic plays a similar role

Multiple Regression – Analysis Suggestions 1. Examine pairwise correlations among variables 2. Examine pairwise scatterplots among variables - identify nonlinearity - identify unequal variance problems - identify possible outliers 3. Try transformations of variables for - correcting nonlinearity - stabilizing the variances - inducing normality of residuals
