Partial correlation coefficients provide a

measure of the relationship between the


dependent variable and other variables, with the
effect of the rest of the variables eliminated.
If we denote by , the coefficient of partial
correlation between and keeping constant, we
find that
Similarly,

where, is the coefficient of partial correlation


between and keeping constant.

where, is the coefficient of partial correlation


between and keeping constant.
In multiple correlation, we are dealing with
situations that involve three or more variables.
For example, we may consider the
association between the yield of wheat per acre
and both the amount of rainfall and the average
daily temperature. We are trying to make
estimates of the value of one of these variables
based on the values of others. The first variable
is called dependent variables and the rest of the
others are called independent variables.
The coefficient of multiple correlation is
represented by and it is common to add
subscript designating the variables involved.
Thus would represent the coefficient of
multiple linear correlation between on the one
hand, and , and on the other hand. The subscript
of the dependent variable is always to the lent of
the point.
The coefficient of multiple correlation can be
expressed in terms of , and as follows:
A coefficient of multiple correlation such as lies
between 0 and 1.
The close it is to 1, the better is the linear
relationship between the variables.
The closer it is to 0, the worse is the linear
relationship.
If the coefficient of multiple correlations is 1, the
correlation is called perfect.
An alternative formula for calculating a coefficient
of multiple correlation such as is:
Illustration. The following zero-order, correlations
coefficients are given

Calculate multiple correlation coefficient treating


first variable as dependent and second and third
variables as independent.
Solution: We have to calculate the multiple
correlation coefficient treating first variables as
dependent and second and third variables as
independent, i.e. we have to find .
Substituting the given values
Multiple
Regression (R)
Multiple Regression
A statistical tool that allows you to examine how
multiple independent variables are related to a
dependent variable.
Once you have identified how these
multiple variables relate to your dependent
variable, you can take information about all of the
independent variables and use it to make much
more powerful and accurate predictions about
why things are the way they are.
This latter process is called “Multiple
Regression”.
The Formula for Multiple Regression
Y’ = a + b1X1 + b2 X2
Y’= A predicted value of Y (which is dependent
variable)
a= The “Y intercept”
b1= The change in Y for each 1 increment change
in X1
b2= The change in Y for each 1 increment change
in X2
X= an X score (X is your independent variable)
for which you are trying to predict a value of Y.
