Be forewarned that these methods should only be used as exploratory methods and they are heavily dependent on what sort of data subsetting method is used. By coding the variables, you can artificially create replicates and then you can proceed with lack of fit testing. The basic approach is to establish criteria by introducing indicator variables, which in turn create coded variables.

A research question

That is, in general, the number of error degrees of freedom is n-p. By contrast, Adjusted (Type III) sums of squares do not have this property. Therefore, we’ll have to pay attention to it — we’ll soon see that the desired order depends on the hypothesis test we want to conduct. These numbers differ from the corresponding numbers in the Anova table with Adjusted sums of squares, other than the last row. Note that the third column in the Anova table is now Sequential sums of squares (“Seq SS”) rather than Adjusted sums of squares (“Adj SS”).

Testing all slope parameters equal 0

For the multiple linear regression model, there are three different hypothesis tests for slopes that one could conduct. For the simple linear regression model, there is only one slope parameter about which one can perform hypothesis tests. If we fail to reject the null hypothesis, we could then remove both of HeadCirc and nose as predictors. The reduced model includes only the variables Age, Years, fraclife, and Weight (which are the remaining variables if the five possibly non-significant variables are dropped). For example, suppose we have 3 predictors for our model.

• First, we run a multiple regression using all nine x-variables as predictors.
• Thus, \(\beta_2\) represents the difference in the mean size of the infarcted area — controlling for the size of the region at risk —between “early cooling” and “no cooling” rabbits.
• In this case, there appears to be a big advantage in using the larger full model over the simpler reduced model.
• Where are we going with this general linear test approach?

Regression results for the reduced model are given below. When looking at tests for individual variables, we see that p-values for the variables Height, Chin, Forearm, Calf, and Pulse are not at a statistically significant level. Then compare this reduced fit to the full fit (i.e., the fit with all of the data), for which the formulas for a lack of fit test can be employed.

Sequential sums of squares

Now, even though — for the sake of learning — we calculated the sequential sum of squares by hand, Minitab and most other statistical software packages will do the calculation for you. Now, how much has the error sum of squares decreased and the regression sum of squares increased? We’ll just note what predictors are in the model by listing them in parentheses after any SSE or SSR. Therefore, we need a way of keeping track of the predictors in the model for each calculated SSE and SSR value.

And, it appears as if the reduced model might be appropriate in describing the lack of a relationship between heights and grade point averages. The question we have to answer in each case is “does the full model describe the data well?” Here, we might think that the full model does well in summarizing the trend in the second plot but not the first. In each plot, the solid line represents what the hypothesized population regression line might look like for the full model.

If we obtain a large percentage, then it is likely we would want to specify some or all of the remaining predictors to be in the final model since they explain so much variation. In most applications, this p-value will be small enough to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that at least one predictor is useful in the model. At the beginning of this lesson, we translated three different research questions pertaining to heart attacks in rabbits (Cool Hearts dataset) into three sets of hypotheses we can test using the general linear F-statistic.

Example 6-1: Heart attacks in Rabbits

Let’s try out the notation and the two alternative definitions of a sequential sum of squares on an example. Now, we move on to our second aside from sequential sums of squares. We can conclude that there is a statistically significant linear association between lifetime alcohol consumption and arm strength. The reduced model, on the other hand, is the model that claims there is no relationship between alcohol consumption and arm strength. The full model is the model that would summarize a linear relationship between alcohol consumption and arm strength.

The ANOVA results for the reduced model are found below. This is not at a statistically significant level, so we do not reject the null hypothesis. We also see that all four individual x-variables are statistically significant.

Click on the light bulb to see the error in the full and reduced models. The good news is that in the simple linear regression case, we don’t have to bother with calculating the general linear F-statistic. The full model appears to describe the trend in the data better than the reduced model. Note that the reduced model does not appear to summarize the trend in the data very well. The F-statistic intuitively makes sense — it is a function of SSE(R)-SSE(F), the difference in the error between the two models. Adding latitude to the reduced model to obtain the full model reduces the amount of error by (from to 17173).

We first have to take two side trips — the first one to learn what is called “the general linear F-test.” Unfortunately, we can’t just jump right into the hypothesis tests. We’ll soon learn how to think about the t-test for a single slope parameter in the multiple regression framework. We’ll soon see that the null hypothesis is tested using the analysis of variance F-test. In this lesson, we learn how to perform three different hypothesis tests for slope parameters in order to answer various research questions.

Another approach with data subsetting is to look at central regions of the data and treat this as a reduced data set. Formal lack of fit testing in multiple regression can be difficult due to sparse data unless we’re analyzing an experiment that was designed to include replicates. Note that the corresponding ANOVA table below is similar to that introduced for the simple linear regression setting. The proportion of variation explained by the predictors in group B that cannot be explained by the predictors in group A is given by There are two ways of obtaining these types of sequential sums of squares. Once again, we don’t have to calculate sequential sums of squares by hand.
