Mastering multiple regression analysis will take your modeling skills to the next level!

1 / 10

. How would you interpret a positive coefficient for a predictor in a multiple regression model?

The outcome increases as that predictor increases, holding others constant.

There is likely multicollinearity affecting that coefficient.

There is a positive interaction between that and another predictor.

The coefficient cannot be interpreted in multiple regression.

2 / 10

If a coefficient becomes non-significant when a new predictor is added, what could be happening?

Moderate multicollinearity between predictors.

The new predictor is likely a confounding variable

The model is overfit.

There is an interaction effect.

3 / 10

. What is the main effect of a predictor in a multiple regression model?

Its individual association with the outcome

Its association conditional on all other predictors.

The interaction effect of that predictor.

Its relative importance compared to other predictors.

4 / 10

How would you test for an interaction between two predictors X1 and X2?

Compare models with and without the X1*X2 interaction term

Examine the correlation between X1 and X2.

Check for multicollinearity in the predictors.

Test for non-linear effects of X1 and X2.

5 / 10

What does the partial F-test show in a multiple regression model?

If an interaction exists between two predictors.

If a predictor improves the model fit.

If multicollinearity is present.

If the coefficients can be interpreted.

6 / 10

How can you identify influential observations in a multiple regression model?

Studentized residuals

Cook's distance values

P-values on coefficients

R-squared value

7 / 10

What plot is useful for checking the multiple regression assumption of linearity?

QQ plot

Scale-location plot

Residuals vs fitted values

Cook's distance plot

8 / 10

. What is the best way to improve a multiple regression model?

Transform predictors

Remove outliers

Add interaction terms

All of the above

9 / 10

What is a key validity concern when interpreting regression coefficients?

Multicollinearity

Low R-squared

Confounding variables

Non-normal errors

10 / 10

. What is the minimum sample size recommended for a valid multiple regression analysis?

10 observations per predictor

50 observations

100 observations

500 observations
