What impact does regression have on correlation analysis? Explain the two ways correlation can be displayed mathematically. Does one way have an advantage over the other? Please explain your thinking.

Expert Solution

Regression analysis has an advantage over correlation analysis that it provides a predictor equation which can be used to predit values of 'y' at given values of 'x'.

On the other hand, correlation analysis is superior to regression in that it does not depend on the choice of a dependent and independent variable. Which means that if the variables are interchanged, the correlation will also be inversed, but the regression analysis may not be reversed to get the new equation.

Correlation can be represented using a graphical method by making a scatter plot of the data. If the points show a linear trend, then there is correlation, if the points form a blob, then there is no correlation.

Correlation can also be represented by computing the correlation coefficient, r.

If r = 0, then there is no correlation.

If r > 0, then there is positive correlation.

If r < 0, then there is negative correlation.

The greater the value of r is towards the extreme value, the stronger is the correlation.

Hope this helps !

Explain the difference between correlation analysis and regression analysis. Give an example of a lurking variable. If a statistician computed a value of r = -2.83 what would you tell that statistician? Under what circumstances can we calculate r? Can the regression equation be assumed to hold 100 years from now? Are there other correlation coefficients other than the Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient

What is the real difference between between correlation and regression analysis? I see that correlation allows us to examine whether two variables exhibit some kind of association with each other. Does correlation mean means that one variable is dependent on another? Is this an example of correlation - Tips are dependent on the actual restaurant bill? Can you give other examples of correlation and regression? Thanks.
