Simple Linear Regression

The document discusses the use of Simple Linear Regression (SLR) to analyze the relationship between one independent variable (age) and one dependent variable (systolic blood pressure). It outlines the steps for conducting SLR in SPSS, including checking assumptions such as linearity, independence, and constant variance. The results indicate that age significantly influences systolic BP, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.696 and an R square value of 0.485, suggesting that age explains 48.5% of the variation in systolic BP.

When to use SLR?

Why Regression Model


Having only one predictor
It is to show whether changes observed in the dependent variable are 1 IV (quantitative data) and 1 DV (quantitative data)
associated with changes in one or more of the explanatory variables. Eg : to relate BP with age

SPSS OUTPUT AND INTERPRETATION

regression model:p-value
<0.05.

Quantification of the relationship between age and systolic BP. With every
increase of one year in age, the systolic BP (on the average) increases by
1.051 (95% CI 0.752 to 1.350) units, p<0.001

Pearson’s correlation between SBP and age is given (r = 0.696). R square = 0.485 which implies that only 48.5% of the systolic BP
is explained by the age of a person. *R square describe how many percent variation in Y can be explained b X*
