QUANTIFYING AN ASSOCIATION TO PREDICT FUTURE
EVENTS
Chapter 12
Regression Analysis
Regression AnalysisA statistical technique to
quantify associations and
begin the process of
predicting future events
Linear Regression
Used to identify a relationship between a single independent
variable (x axis) and a single dependent variable (y axis) at the
interval or ratio level
If there is a linear relationship when these variables are graphed
you can use the slope of the line to tell you how much the
predicted value of the dependent variable changes when there is
a one unit change in the independent variable.

ResidualThe difference between where the data actually falls
and where the linear regression line predicts they will fall Also
called prediction errorLower residuals mean a better fit of the
prediction line and the data
*
Multiple Regression
Used when you wish to examine the relationship between
multiple independent variables (X1 , X2….) and an outcome of
interest (Y) at the interval or ratio level
Yi=a- b1 X1+ b2X2+e
a=constant, value when x=0
b= beta value
e=error term
X1 =number of cigarettes smoked each day
X2=diabetic status (yes/no)

Beta Values in Multiple RegressionBeta values are the rate of
change in the outcome variable (Y) for every one unit increase
in the independent variable holding the other independent
variables constantWhen beta value is positive there is an
increase in the outcome variable when this independent variable
is increasedWhen beta value is negative an
increase in the level of the independent
variable decreases the level of the
outcome variable.
Looking at Computer Output
R2
R Square tells you the percent of the variance in the dependent
or outcome variable that is explained in your regression model.
If R Square is 0.74 that means the variables you have included
in your regression model explain 74% of the variance in the
outcome you are studying. R Square always increases when
additional independent variables are included in the model even
if the added independent variables are not significant.
The adjusted R square is a more conservative estimate of the R
square and is a better option when a large number of
independent variables are included.
Standard Error of the EstimateTells you the average amount of
error there will be in the predicted outcome using your specific

regression model.
You would like to minimize this to make your prediction as
accurate as possible so the closer the standard error of the
estimate is to zero the better.
Determining Significance
It is a little trickier than previous tests but still has the same
underlying principals.
Look at your R Square and find the corresponding p value- is
that significant (<alpha)?
Then look at each of the independent variables for significance
as well. You can have a significant R Square with an
independent variable included that doesn’t add anything to your
model. Is the R Square change significant for each added
independent variable? If not, it means when you controll ed for
the other independent variables the insignificant variable no
longer added to the ability to predict the outcome.
The Beta value for each independent variable
Look at the column in SPSS for unstandardized coefficients and
you will see the beta coefficients for the independent variables
in the regression equation.
A one unit change in variable X1 will produce a change equal to
the beta for variable in the outcome variable. For example, a
beta for independent variable X1 is 2.3. That means for every
one unit increase in variable A that occurs, you would predict a
2.3 unit increase in your outcome variable when controlling
your other independent variables.
Logistic Regression

Examines the relationship
between multiple independent
variables with a dependent variable
that is binary (nominal or ordinal
with only two categories) such as yes/no, alive/dead.
Generates an odds ratio (OR) which is frequently helpful for
explaining results to the public. (It is just the probability of the
outcome occurring divided by the probability of the outcome
not occurring). We will discuss the OR further in the next
chapter.
Tests that Control for the Impact of More than One Independent
Variable on a Single Dependent Variable
*Multiple and logistic regression allow the researcher to
examine the effect of multiple independent variables on a single
dependent variable. For example, if the researcher believes that
maternal age and smoking both impact infant birth weight the
relationship between maternal age and infant birth weight can
be seen while controlling for the impact of smoking on infant
birth weight. Dependent VariableTestExampleYes/NoLogistic
RegressionAmong adolescents who attempt to commit suicide,
what is the relationship between alcohol consumption, age,
gender and risk of death? (independent variables alcohol
consumption, age, gender, dependent variable- death
(yes/no)Continuous VariableMultiple RegressionHow do parents
education level, income level and school district rank impact
fourth grade reading scores among impoverished children?
(independent variables- parents education level, income level,
and school district rank, dependent variable reading score at the
interval/ratio level)

Q.2 What types of liability does Starbucks face from incidence
like this? (Write an answer by reading the below articles)
(Professor questions)
Within this week the choice which was taken within this group
is in line to the article: “Starbucks faces image crisis after
arrest of 2 black men.”
In the month of April, the year 2018, there was the arrest of
two black men namely Donte Robinson and radon nelson. These
two were arrested in the Starbucks platform after an employee
working within the organization made an inquiry of two men to
leave. The reason which made this to happen was the issues of
the two men has fled to order anything within the premises. The
employee the manger upon the two men the store manager and
they told the manager they were waiting for an associate in their
business dealing at the stall. In this case thus the two men failed
to leave the stall. Shannon Philip the store manager in this case
called the police to escort the two men out. This activity took
place and the two men were taken from the stall in handcuffs.
In my recent time I have been able to visit the Starbucks
corporate webpage a site often time and I have seen a lot of
messages in relation to the issues of inclusion of diversity.
There is a high level of concern in relation to the ideas of the
ethical surrounding within this case and the products as well as
the diversity issues here too. The concern within this case is
inclusive the issues in lien to the firms being concerned for the
ideology of being affected by the ethical surrounding in the
business platforms. There is need to understand the manner as

to how such activities have ability to take place in this case.
Starbucks is a larger brand and, in this case, there is more focus
into customer services and also treating the users and employees
in the-best manner. There is need for the-best in terms of the
consumer protection and debtor creditor relations need to be
upheld in the-best manner here too.
The messages from the Starbucks CEO are there they have
the mission to make for a reflection in terms of the fundamental
principles which all the affected person will be welcome into
the platforms. There is an aspiration for the place to have best
inclusion, diversity, equity and also getting to make of
accessibility. The presence of diversity will make the firms to
become stronger and also there will be better ability to create
for the issues and deeply inclusive culture which will allow the
space to have better ability at making do the presence of success
and growing as one in this case too. However, from the
multinational case more than 28000 store there is need to have
in place a better way and better intuition within all the day
affected within this case. The humans need to have better
chance at holding the entities in the wrong way. There is no
space in within the employee will have ability to not have
anything that is stupid happening. John Gordon who is a
specialist and analysis within the pacific management
consulting said. The occurrence led to the presence of a lot of
protest in the area of Philadelphia. There is need to understand
the importance attached to the issues of making for the concept
of getting an involvement of the affected within consumer and
buyer cases. In this case thus, to make to best environments.
