CEE384 Recitation 4

The document summarizes two problems from a recitation on regression analysis. Problem 1 considers a table of y values and calculates the mean y-value a that minimizes the sum of squared residuals from the data. It finds that a equals 0.994. Problem 2 performs a regression analysis on force F and displacement x data, finding that the relationship is best modeled by F = kx^2. It calculates the value of k by minimizing the sum of squared residuals, determining k equals 0.9455.

CEE384 Recitation 4.

Problem 1

Consider the given table in the question.

X 1 2 3 4 5
y 1 1.1 0.9 0.96 1.01

Consider the property of mean is the sum of the square of the deviation of the set of the values is
minimum.

∑(𝑌𝑖 − 𝑌̅)2

Consider the sum of the square of the residual is the minimize as 𝑎 = 𝑌̂ according to the question.

𝑎 = 𝑌̂
Substitute the value in the above equation.
1 + 1.1 + 0.9 + 0.96 + 1.01
𝑎=
5
= 0.994

Hence, the value of a is 0.994

Problem 2

The force vs displacement data regression is defined by

𝐹 = 𝑘𝑥 2
Its normal form

∑ 𝐹𝑥 2 = 𝑘 ∑ 𝑥 4

x F x2 x4 Fx2
10 100 100 10000 10000
15 200 225 50625 45000
20 384 400 160000 153600

∑ 𝐹𝑥 2 = 208600

∑ 𝑥 4 = 220625

208600 = 220625𝑘
𝑘 = 0.9455
