This approach is used to fit the simple linear regression model
Least Squares Approach
This is a measure of the strength of the linear relationship between two variables x and y
Coefficient of Correlation
This formula provides an estimate of the variance for a simple linear regression model
SSE / (n-2)
It is assumed that the sum of the errors is equal to this value
0
This variable represents the change in y for every one unit increase in x
β1
This represents the proportion of sample variation in y that is explained by the linear relationship between x and y
Coefficient of Determination
This variable is assumed to be independently and identically distributed, following a normal distribution with mean 0 and constant standard deviation σ
ε
The correlation coefficient can take values in this range
[-1, 1]
This is an estimate of the range in which a future observation will fall
Prediction Interval
If the coefficient of correlation is negative this type of relationship exists between x and y
Negative Linear Relationship
This variable represents the predicted value of y when x=0
β0
The coefficient of determination can take values in this range
