Sequential Regression:A Neodescriptive Approach to Multicollinearity
نویسنده
چکیده
Classical regression analysis uses partial coefficients to measure the influences of some variables (regressors) on another variable (regressand). However, a descriptive point of view shows that these coefficients are very bad measures of influence. Their interpretation as an average change of the regressand is only valid if the regressors are weakly correlated, and they are useless when the degree of multicollinearity is high. Despite these obvious flaws there is a lack of alternative ideas to measure influences. On that score this paper proposes two new coefficients of influence: (1) A supplementary coefficient measures the additional influence of a regressor when certain variables are already taken into account. (2) A particular coefficient, which is a mean of certain supplementary coefficients, allocates the influence of a regressor within the collective influence of all regressors. Both new coefficients can directly be interpreted as average changes of the regressand. 1 Please do not cite this paper! Comments are welcome. E-Mail: [email protected] 2

A new approach to detect Life threatening cardiac arrhythmias using Sequential spectrum of Electrocardiogram signals
This study evaluates the discriminative power of sequential spectrum analysis of the short-term electrocardiogram (ECG) time series in separating normal and subjects with life threatening arrhythmias like, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF). The raw ECG time series is transformed into a series of binary symbols and the binary occupancy or relative distribution of mono-sequences (i.e. ...

متن کاملA Fuzzy Approach to Sequential Failure Analysis Using Petri nets
In highly competitive industrial market, the concept of failure analysis is an unavoidable fact in complex industrial systems. Reliability of such systems not only depends on the reliability of each element of these systems, but also depends on occurrence of sequence of failures. In this paper, a novel approach to sequential failure analysis is proposed which is based upon fuzzy logic and the c...
