Our problem arises in part from
the intercorrelation between the

(multicollinearity).
We solve the problem by a stepwise approach eliminating the

The matrix X’X must not be singular. It est, the variables have to be independent. Otherwise we
speak of multicollinearity. Collinearity of r<0.7 are in most cases tolerable.
Multiple regression to be safely applied needs at least 10 times the number of cases than
variables in the model.
Statistical inference assumes that errors have a normal distribution around the mean.
The model assumes linear (or algebraic) dependencies. Check first for non-linearities.
Check the distribution of residuals Yexp-Yobs. This distribution should be random.
Check the parameters whether they have realistic values.
Multiple regression is a hypothesis
testing and not a hypothesis generating
technique!!

How to interpret beta-values
Y
Beta values are generalisations of simple coefficients of correlation. However, there is an important difference. The
higher the correlation between two or more predicator variables (multicollinearity) is, the less will r depend on the
correlation between X and Y. Hence other variables might have more and more influence on r and b. For high levels of
multicollinearity it might therefore become more and more difficult to interpret beta-values in terms of correlations.
Because beta-values are standardized b-values they should allow comparisons to be make about the relative influence
of predicator variables. High levels of multicollinearity might let to misinterpretations. Beta values above one are
always a sign of too high multicollinearity
Hence high levels of multicollinearity might

reduce the exactness of beta-weight estimates

change the probabilities of making type I and type II errors

make it more difficult to interpret beta-values.
We might apply an additional parameter, the so-called coefficient of structure. The coefficient of structure ci is defined
as
ci 
riY
R
2
where riY denotes the simple correlation between predicator variable i and the dependent variable Y and R2 the
coefficient of determination of the multiple regression.
Coefficients of structure measure therefore the fraction of total variability a given predictor variable explains. Again,
the interpretation of ci is not always unequivocal at high levels of multicollinearity.

Regression analysis does not study the
relationships between the predictor
variables
Path analysis defines a whole model and tries to separate correlations into
direct and indirect effects
Path analysis tries to do something that is logically impossible, to derive causal relationships from sets of
observations.
Path analysis is largely based on the computation of partial coefficients of correlation.

b0 is the maximum response at dose saturation.
b1 is the concentration that produces a half maximum response.
b2 determines the slope of the function, that means it is a
measure how fast the response increases with increasing drug
dose.
