What are the three conditions for linear regression models?

Simple Linear Regression

• Linearity: The relationship between X and the mean of Y is linear.
• Homoscedasticity: The variance of residual is the same for any value of X.
• Independence: Observations are independent of each other.
• Normality: For any fixed value of X, Y is normally distributed.

What is an inverse regression model?

Inverse regression refers to (inversely) predicting the corresponding value of an independent variable when one only observes the value(s) of the corresponding dependent variable, using a model that has already been established for the dependence between the two variables.

What happens if assumptions of linear regression are violated?

If the X or Y populations from which data to be analyzed by linear regression were sampled violate one or more of the linear regression assumptions, the results of the analysis may be incorrect or misleading. For example, if the assumption of independence is violated, then linear regression is not appropriate.

Which of the following criteria must be satisfied for linear regression model?

Simple linear regression is only appropriate when the following conditions are satisfied: Linear relationship: The outcome variable Y has a roughly linear relationship with the explanatory variable X. Homoscedasticity: For each value of X, the distribution of residuals has the same variance.

Will switching the explanatory and response variables change the LSRL?

The distinction between the explanatory and response variables is important. Since the regression line only looks at the deviations of the data points from the line in the vertical direction, if we switch the variables we will get a different regression line.

What can go wrong with regression models?

In this lesson we’ll look at some of the main things that can go wrong with a multiple linear regression model. Multicollinearity, which exists when two or more of the predictors in a regression model are moderately or highly correlated with one another. Overfitting. Excluding important predictor variables.

What are the limitations of linear regression model?

Main limitation of Linear Regression is the assumption of linearity between the dependent variable and the independent variables. In the real world, the data is rarely linearly separable. It assumes that there is a straight-line relationship between the dependent and independent variables which is incorrect many times.
