Correlation Linear Regression

Assuming that tbe variable y depends on the variable x by a linear function 

Xi and Yii values of the i pair of data nix and niy mean of x and y values, respectively n number of data pairs Sx and Syi standard deviation of the x and y values, respectively. 

If there is a linear connection, calculation of unknowns by the regression function is possible. But as shown in Fig. 1.1, for example, the linear correlation very often exists only approximately in a small range. 

Computation of a linear regression is possible with each population of x-y pairs of data. But it should be checked whether other functions may be the basis of the connection between x and y, es- 

During an experiment one has a set of data which seems to be formed from two groups. Is it wise to calculate a single mean of all data because difference between means of subpopulations results from simple fluctuations, or have we to form two subpopulations with significantly different means The hypothesis that all data are Null hypothesis parts of a sole population is the so-called null hypothesis. The rejection of the null hypothesis leads to establishing a significant difference between both groups of data. The t-test is used to decide this question.

PLS is a linear regression extension of PCA which is used to connect the information in two blocks of variables X and Yto each other. It can be applied even if the features are highly correlated. 

Multiple linear regression analysis is a widely used method, in this case assuming that a linear relationship exists between solubility and the 18 input variables. The multilinear regression analy.si.s was performed by the SPSS program [30]. The training set was used to build a model, and the test set was used for the prediction of solubility. The MLRA model provided, for the training set, a correlation coefficient r = 0.92 and a standard deviation of, s = 0,78, and for the test set, r = 0.94 and s = 0.68. 

The value of d obtained by linear regression is 0.96 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9985. For 2 alkylpyridines 8 is 2.030 (256), which leads to the conclusion that 2-alkylpyridines are twice as sensitive to steric effects as their thiazole analogs. 

By treating the quantities (h — hf) jR and I as fitting parameters, data obtained at various temperatures can be correlated to equation 37 using linear regression. The final equation for JT has the form ... 

Application of IP and NCS in conjunction with specification tolerance limits enables to substantiate acceptance criteria for linear regression metrological characteristics (residual standard deviation, correlation coefficient, y-intercept), accuracy and repeatability. Acceptance criteria for impurity influence (in spectrophotometric assay), solution stability and intermediate precision are substantiated as well. 

Then vkt is calculated from the vX values as (-ln(l-vX)). The independent function Temperature vx is expressed as 1000 K/vT for the Arrhenius function. Finally the independent variable vy is calculated as In(vkt). Next a linear regression is executed and results are presented as y plotted against Xi The results of regression are printed next. The slope and intercept values are given as a, and b. The multiple correlation coefficient is given as c. 

It may be necessary and possible to achieve a good Brf nsted relationship by adding another term to the equation, as Toney and Kirsch did in correlating the effects of various amines on the catalytic activity of a mutant enzyme. A simple Brf nsted plot failed, but a multiple linear regression on the variables pKa and molecular volume (of the amines) was successful. 

Once a linear relationship has been shown to have a high probability by the value of the correlation coefficient (r), then the best straight line through the data points has to be estimated. This can often be done by visual inspection of the calibration graph but in many cases it is far better practice to evaluate the best straight line by linear regression (the method of least squares). 

A somewhat improved correlation is obtained by non-linear regression as ... 

Data given in Tables 1-6 clearly show a significant dependence of P2 and p4 on amine concentration, that is, at least one of the apparent rate constants kj contains a concentration factor. Thus, according to the mathematical considerations outlined in the Analysis of Data Paragraph, both p2, P4 exponents and the derived variables -(P2 + p)4> P2 P4 ind Z (see Eqns. 8-12) are the combinations of the apparent rate constants (kj). To characterize these dependences, derived variables -(p2+p)4, P2 P4 and Z (Eqns. 8,11 and 12) were correlated with the amine concentration using a non-linear regression program to find the best fit. Computation resulted in a linear dependence for -(p2 + p)4 and Z, that is... 

Parameters, errors and deviations are given in Tables 7-9 and one representative plot for every correlation is shown by Figures 2, 3 and 4. Moreover, data of Tables 7 and 8 indicates that both b and f is very small positive or negative number which equals to zero within the range of the experimental errors. To verify this assumption, fittings were repeated using linear regression without intercept (b, d=0)... 

Linear regression analysis was performed on the relation of G"(s) versus PICO abrasion index. Figure 16.10 plots the correlation coefficient as a function of strain employed in the measurement of loss modulus. The regression results show poor correlation at low strain with increasing correlations at higher strains. These correlations were performed on 189 data points. 

Inclusion of entries 1 and 2 into the initial T versus AE(r) linear regression analyses for reactions 1 and 4 did not appreciably affect the slopes, intercepts or correlation coefficients of the plots. 

The slopes, Y-intercepts and squares of correlation coefficients for the linear regression analyses of the T versus AE(ir) plots (equation 7) for reactions 1-4 for one-hour and ten-hour half life rates of decomposition to form free radical products are given in Table II.

If the T values of Table I are first fitted against EA values, without first fitting with EE(v) values, poor linea correlations result. For example, for tKe one-hour half-life temperatures of reactions 1 and 4, the squares of the correlation coefficients for these linear regression analyses are only 0.51 and 0.55, respectively.
