In a multiple regression equation, a possible explanation for the algebraic sign of a coefficient for an independent variable being opposite from the expected could be negative autocorrelation. increasing error variance. decreasing error variance. multicollinearity. positive autocorrelation.

(Simple linear regression) Consider the model of simple linear regression, y_i = a + bx_i + e_i, under the usual assumption that e_i, i = 1,...,n, are independent identically distributed zero mean random variables. a) Define the coefficient of determination R^2. Explain the meaning of this coefficient. b) Prove that R^2 coincides with the squared sample correlation coefficient, r^2, where r = Σ(x_i - x̄)(y_i - ȳ) / √[Σ(x_i - x̄)^2 Σ(y_i - ȳ)^2].

The formula for the standard error of the regression coefficient stays the same when moving from one explanatory variable to two explanatory variables, unless you test for the null hypothesis that the added regression coefficient is zero.
Regression Model Least Squares Method Dependent Variable Independent Variable Regression Equation The equation that describes the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable and an error term procedure used to develop an estimate of the regression equation that minimizes the sum of the squared errors The variable that you are predicting or explaining The variable that is doing the predicting or explaining The equation that describes the relationship between the expected value of the dependent variable and the independent variable
