  • Regression Readout

    Summary output from Excel's toolpak showing key statistics and plots for interpreting relationships between variables.
  • Data Analysis Toolpak

    Excel add-in providing automated statistical analysis, including regression, with customizable output options.
  • Regression Line Equation

    Mathematical formula expressing predicted values based on the relationship between independent and dependent variables.
  • Correlation Coefficient

    Numeric measure indicating strength and direction of linear association between two variables.
  • Coefficient of Determination

    Statistic quantifying the proportion of variation in the outcome explained by the predictor variable.
  • Residual Plot

    Graphical display of differences between observed and predicted values, used to assess model fit.
  • Confidence Interval

    Range of values likely to contain a parameter, such as slope, for a specified confidence level.
  • Slope

    Value representing the rate of change in the dependent variable per unit increase in the independent variable.
  • Intercept

    Constant term in the regression equation indicating the predicted value when the predictor is zero.
  • Standard Error

    Estimate of variability in regression predictions, used for constructing intervals and assessing precision.
  • Line Fit Plot

    Visual comparison of actual and predicted values, highlighting the direction and quality of the model's fit.
  • Test Statistic

    Calculated value, such as t score, used to evaluate hypotheses about regression parameters.
  • P Value

    Probability measure indicating evidence against the null hypothesis in regression analysis.
  • Alpha

    Threshold for statistical significance, commonly set at 0.05, 0.01, or 0.1 in hypothesis testing.
  • Null Hypothesis

    Assumption stating no linear relationship exists between the variables in regression analysis.
