Multiple Regression Summary

Introduction to Multiple Regression

In 'Multiple Regression,' the author Julie Pallant, provides an outline that details the application of multiple regression techniques using Windows. Pallant defines multiple regression as a unit of methods that explain the connection between variables, notably, the constant dependent and the different independent elements. The chapter seeks to detail the association within a group of variables by exploring the issue of correlation. It describes the significance of multiple regression in answering research questions by predicting a likely consequence. The multiple regression enhances the addition of other variables such as motivation to underline the anticipatory component of the framework that complements the inconsistent research components. In this chapter, Pallant presents the most significant divisions of multiple regressions such as standard, hierarchical, and stepwise as well as the specific assumptions that it makes about data.

Major Types of Multiple Regression

Julie outlines the different types of multiple regression that include stepwise, sequential, and simultaneous that a person can apply to solve a research query. The following is a summary of the three subcategories.

a.     Standard Multiple Regression

Pallant describes that under standard multiple regression, the researcher concurrently enters the independent variables in an equation. The predictor value is analyzed based on its extrapolative influence on other study variables. Investigating multicollinearity, McClelland, Irwin, Disatnik, and Sivan (2017) conclude that the ease of this simultaneous analysis strengthens its popularity in determining the outcome of research efforts. Most academicians apply this model when using a set of variables to identify the level of variation in the dependent variable. All of these show how a researcher enters data simultaneously into the framework to explain the alteration of the dependent inconsistent components.
