Linear Regression 2
- First, the function will work for any data.
- There may be no real correlation (or anti-correlation).
- What do I do about that? Test for significance.
-
Research Methods Knowledge Base says to do a two tailed
test, which I couldn't figure out quickly.
- Secondly, pictures are cool. I could have done a better
one, but this took 20 minutes. They often take time,
but the more you do it the better you get.
- Thirdly, excel is cool. It has a lot of functions.
You need to know what they mean to use them sensibly.
- Fourthly, the data is important. If I did this with people
over 40, I'd probably find little correlation.
