TL;DR: Multiple regression analysis explores the relationship between a dependent variable and a collection of independent variables. It covers ordinary least squares regression, model specification, testing, and diagnostics.

Abstract: This chapter provides a comprehensive introduction to multiple regression analysis (MR), a highly flexible system for examining the relationship of a collection of independent variables (predictors) to a single dependent variable (criterion). The independent variables may be quantitative (e.g., personality traits, family income) or categorical (e.g., ethnic group, treatment conditions in an experiment). The present chapter explores ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, which requires a continuous dependent variable. The chapter emphasizes: (a) testing theoretical predictions through multiple regression, and (b) identifying problems with implementation of regression analysis. First the structure of MR is described, including the overall regression equation, estimation of partial regression coefficients for individual predictors, effect size measures for both overall model fit and for the contribution of individual predictors and sets of predictors to prediction accuracy. Treatment of categorical predictors through effects, dummy, and contrast coding is explained. Polynomial regression for capturing curvilinear relationships is explored. The specification, testing, and posthoc probing of interactions between continuous variables and between a continuous and a categorical variable are explicated. Second, detection of violations of MR assumptions is addressed, as this helps to identify problems with regression models. Regression diagnostics (case statistics) that are used to identify problematic cases which bias results are explained. Graphic displays for regression analysis that characterize the overall nature of the regression model, curvilinear, and interactive relationships among variables, and checking of assumptions are provided. An empirical example illustrates the interplay between theory and empirical findings in the specification, testing, and revision of regression models.

Integrated phenology and climate in rice yields prediction using machine learning methods
Yahui Guo,Yongshuo H. Fu,Fanghua Hao,Xuan Zhang,Wenxiang Wu,Xiuliang Jin,Christopher Bryant,J. Senthilnath +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a combination of phenology, climate and geography data to predict the site-based rice yields using a traditional regression-based method (MLR, multiple linear regression), and more advanced three machine learning (ML) methods: backpropagation neural network (BP), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF).

Ambivalence toward imposed change: The conflict between dispositional resistance to change and the orientation toward the change agent.
Shaul Oreg,Noga Sverdlik +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that individuals' personal orientation toward change interacts with their orientation toward the change agent and yields ambivalence, and that researchers may have been misinterpreting employees' reactions to change.

Extracting Drug-Drug Interaction from the Biomedical Literature Using a Stacked Generalization-Based Approach
TL;DR: This paper presents a Stacked Generalization-based approach for automatic DDI extraction that combines the feature-based, graph and tree kernels and reduces the risk of missing important features and achieves a better performance than each individual kernel.
Protective behavioral strategies and hazardous alcohol use among male college students: Conformity to male gender norms as a moderator.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the moderating role of conformity to male norms in the relationship between protective behavioral strategy use and hazardous alcohol use in a sample of college men and found a significant moderation such that males who reported higher levels of conformity with male norms and less use of protective behavioral strategies tended to engage in the most harmful alcohol use.

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.
Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.
Robust Locally Weighted Regression and Smoothing Scatterplots
TL;DR: Robust locally weighted regression as discussed by the authors is a method for smoothing a scatterplot, in which the fitted value at z k is the value of a polynomial fit to the data using weighted least squares, where the weight for (x i, y i ) is large if x i is close to x k and small if it is not.

The earth is round (p < .05)
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the problems with null hypothesis significance testing, including near universal misinterpretation of p as the probability that H is false, the misinterpretation that its complement is the probability of successful replication, and the mistaken assumption that if one rejects H₀ one thereby affirms the theory that led to the test.
