Multivariable linear regression

An important aspect of all methods to be discussed concerns the choice of the model complexity, i.e., choosing the right number of factors. This is especially relevant if the relations are developed for predictive purposes. Building validated predictive models for quantitative relations based on multiple predictors is known as multivariate calibration. The latter subject is of such importance in chemo-metrics that it will be treated separately in the next chapter (Chapter 36). The techniques considered in this chapter comprise Procrustes analysis (Section 35.2), canonical correlation analysis (Section 35.3), multivariate linear regression... 

Step 4. The RRR model coefficients are then found by a multivariate linear regression of the RRR fit, Y = ( a] + In y ) original X, which should have a...

While multiple linear regression aims at relating a single y-variable with several x-variables, multivariate linear regression relates several y-variables with several x-variables. Having available n observations for a number q of y-variables... 

Using multivariable linear regression, a set of equations can be derived from the parameterized data. Statistical analysis yields the "best equations to fit the en irical data. This mathematical model forms a basis to correlate the biologicsd activity to the chemical structures. 

Traditionally, the determination of a difference in costs between groups has been made using the Student s r-test or analysis of variance (ANOVA) (univariate analysis) and ordinary least-squares regression (multivariable analysis). The recent proposal of the generalized linear model promises to improve the predictive power of multivariable analyses.

The PLS approach to multivariate linear regression modeling is relatively new and not yet fully investigated from a theoretical point of view. The results with calibrating complex samples in food analysis 122,123) j y jnfj-ared reflectance spectroscopy, suggest that PLS could solve the general calibration problem in analytical chemistry.

The first part of the program output comes from the module M42 of multivariable linear regression. The parameters P(l), P(2), P(3) and P(4) correspond to a, and t, respectively, and have no physical meaning. 

This section introduces the regression theory that is needed for the establishment of the calibration models in the forthcoming sections and chapters. The multivariate linear models considered in this chapter relate several independent variables (x) to one dependent variable (y) in the form of a first-order polynomial ...
