This document discusses multiple regression analysis. It begins by introducing multiple regression as an extension of simple linear regression that allows for modeling relationships between a response variable and multiple explanatory variables. It then covers topics such as examining variable distributions, building regression models, estimating model parameters, and assessing overall model fit and significance of individual predictors. An example demonstrates using multiple regression to build a model for predicting cable television subscribers based on advertising rates, station power, number of local families, and number of competing stations.
This document discusses linear functions and mathematical modeling. It defines linear functions as having a constant rate of change and being represented by the equation y=mx+b.

It also discusses using linear models to make predictions by extrapolating or interpolating data points. Guidelines for evaluating the reliability of linear trendlines for prediction are provided.
Multiple regression analysis allows modeling of relationships between a dependent variable and multiple independent variables. The model takes the form of Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + ... + βkXk + ε, where Y is the dependent variable, the X's are independent variables, the β's are coefficients, and ε is the error term. Regression coefficients are estimated to predict Y values and are interpreted as the expected change in Y from a one-unit change in the corresponding X, holding other X's constant. The overall model, individual coefficients, and goodness of fit can be evaluated statistically. Nonlinear relationships may require transforming variables before applying regression.

Unit Lesson
Mathematical truths provide us several useful means to estimate what will happen based on factors that are
given or researched. After becoming familiar with the idea of probability, one can see how mathematics make
applications in government and business possible.
Probability Distributions
To look at probability distributions, one should define a random variable as an unknown that could be any
real number, including decimals or fractions. Many problems in life have real numbers of any value of a whole
number and fraction or decimal as the value of the random variable amount. Discrete random variables will
have a certain limited range of values, and continuous random variables may have an infinite range of
possible values. These continuous random variables could be any value at all (Render, Stair, Hanna, &
Hale, 2015).
One true tendency is that events that occur in a group of trials tend to cluster around a middle point of values
as the most occurring, or highest probabilities they will occur. They then taper off to one or both sides as there
are lower probabilities that the events will be very low from the middle (or zero) and very high from the middle.
This middle point is called the mean or expected value E(X):
n
E(X) = ∑ Xi P(Xi)
i=1
Where Xi is the random variable value, and the summation sign ∑ with n and i=1 means you are adding all n
possible values (Render et al., 2015).
The sum of these events can be shown as graphs. If the random variable has a discrete probability
distribution (e.g., cans of paint that can be sold in a day), then the graph of events may look like this:

Title
The bar heights show the probability for any X (or, P(X) ) along the y-axis, given the discrete number for X
along the x-axis and no fractions for discrete variables (no half-cans of paint).
The variance (σ2) is the spread of the distribution of events in a probability distribution (Render et al., 2015).
The variance is interesting because a small variance may indicate that the event value will most likely be near
the mean most of the time, and a large variance may show that the mean is not all that reliable a guide of
what the event values will be, as the sp.
Regression analysis is a statistical method used to model relationships between variables. It involves plotting data points and finding the line of best fit that minimizes the distance between the points and the line. This line can then be used to predict future outcomes. Simple linear regression uses one independent variable to predict a continuous dependent variable. Multiple linear regression extends this to use multiple independent variables to better capture complex relationships between factors.
Assessing relative importance using rsp scoring to generateDaniel Koh
This document proposes a new method called Driver's Score (DS) to assess the relative importance of variables in regression models. DS combines measures of a variable's reliability, significance, and power into a single composite score. Reliability is measured using residual errors, significance uses F-ratios of residual errors, and power uses standardized regression coefficients. DS is calculated at the observation level as the geometric mean of these three scores. The document argues DS provides a more intuitive and practical understanding of variable importance than existing methods. An example using industry data demonstrates how to generate DS scores and classify variables by level of importance. The methodology aims to independently measure importance while accounting for interrelationships between variables.

- Regression analysis is used to predict the value of a dependent variable based on the value of one or more independent variables. It does not necessarily imply causation.
- Regression can be used to identify discrimination and validate food/drug products. Companies use it to understand key drivers of performance.
- Multiple linear regression models involve predicting a dependent variable based on multiple independent variables. Examples include treatment costs, salary outcomes, and market share.
- Regression coefficients can be estimated using ordinary least squares to minimize the residuals between predicted and actual dependent variable values.
linear regression is a linear approach for modelling a predictive relationship between a scalar response and one or more explanatory variables (also known as dependent and independent variables), which are measured without error. The case of one explanatory variable is called simple linear regression; for more than one, the process is called multiple linear regression. This term is distinct from multivariate linear regression, where multiple correlated dependent variables are predicted, rather than a single scalar variable. If the explanatory variables are measured with error then errors-in-variables models are required, also known as measurement error models.
In linear regression, the relationships are modeled using linear predictor functions whose unknown model parameters are estimated from the data. Such models are called linear models. Most commonly, the conditional mean of the response given the values of the explanatory variables (or predictors) is assumed to be an affine function of those values; less commonly, the conditional median or some other quantile is used. Like all forms of regression analysis, linear regression focuses on the conditional probability distribution of the response given the values of the predictors, rather than on the joint probability distribution of all of these variables, which is the domain of multivariate analysis.
Linear regression was the first type of regression analysis to be studied rigorously, and to be used extensively in practical applications.[4] This is because models which depend linearly on their unknown parameters are easier to fit than models which are non-linearly related to their parameters and because the statistical properties of the resulting estimators are easier to determine.
Linear regression has many practical uses. Most applications fall into one of the following two broad categories:
If the goal is error reduction in prediction or forecasting, linear regression can be used to fit a predictive model to an observed data set of values of the response and explanatory variables. After developing such a model, if additional values of the explanatory variables are collected without an accompanying response value, the fitted model can be used to make a prediction of the response.
If the goal is to explain variation in the response variable that can be attributed to variation in the explanatory variables, linear regression analysis can be applied to quantify the strength of the relationship between the response and the explanatory variables, and in particular to determine whether some explanatory variables may have no linear relationship with the response at all, or to identify which subsets of explanatory variables may contain redundant information about the response.
This document discusses linear wave theory and the governing equations for water wave mechanics. It introduces key wave parameters like amplitude, height, wavelength, frequency, period, and phase speed. It then covers the linearized equations of motion, including continuity, irrotationality, and the time-dependent Bernoulli equation. Boundary conditions at the bed and free-surface are also presented, including the kinematic and dynamic free-surface boundary conditions. The linearized equations and boundary conditions form the basis for solving for the velocity potential using separation of variables.
This document contains solutions to examples related to wave motion. It begins by finding the period and phase speed of a wave given its wavelength or depth, using the dispersion relationship. It then calculates wave properties like height, velocity, energy, and power from pressure sensor readings. Further sections determine wave characteristics in deep water, shallow water, and when a current is present. The document solves for wavelength, period, phase speed and direction in examples involving deep water, shallow water and coastal refraction.

Boundary conditions at the bed and free-surface are also presented, including the kinematic and dynamic free-surface boundary conditions. The linearized equations and boundary conditions form the basis for solving for the velocity potential using separation of variables.
This document contains solutions to examples related to wave motion. It begins by finding the period and phase speed of a wave given its wavelength or depth, using the dispersion relationship. It then calculates wave properties like height, velocity, energy, and power from pressure sensor readings. Further sections determine wave characteristics in deep water, shallow water, and when a current is present. The document solves for wavelength, period, phase speed and direction in examples involving deep water, shallow water and coastal refraction.
The document discusses wave loading on coastal structures. It provides equations to calculate the maximum wave pressure and force on both surface-piercing and fully-submerged structures. For surface-piercing structures, the force is proportional to wave height and depends on water depth. In shallow water it is approximately hydrostatic, and in deep water it is independent of depth. For fully-submerged structures the force is always less than for surface-piercing ones. Methods are given to calculate loads on vertical breakwaters by dividing them into pressure distributions and calculating individual forces and moments.
Waves undergo several transformations as they propagate towards shore:
- Refraction causes waves to change direction as their speed changes in varying water depths, bending towards parallel to depth contours. This is governed by Snell's law.
- Shoaling causes waves to increase in height as their speed decreases in shallower water, to conserve shoreward energy flux. Wave height is related to the refraction and shoaling coefficients.
- Breaking occurs once waves steepen enough, dissipating energy. Types of breakers depend on the relative beach slope and wave steepness via the Iribarren number. Common breaking criteria include the Miche steepness limit and breaker height/depth indices.
The document provides mathematical derivations of key concepts in fluid dynamics, including:
1) Definitions of hyperbolic functions like sinh, cosh, and tanh and their basic properties.
2) The fundamental fluid flow equations - continuity, irrotationality/use of a velocity potential, and the time-dependent Bernoulli equation - that are used to model wave behavior.
3) The derivation of the wave field and dispersion relationship by applying Laplace's equation, kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions, and making linear approximations to obtain solutions for a sinusoidal wave.
Linear wave theory assumes wave amplitudes are small, allowing second-order effects to be ignored. It accurately describes real wave behavior including refraction, diffraction, shoaling and breaking. Waves are described by their amplitude, wavelength, frequency, period, wavenumber and phase/group velocities. Phase velocity is the speed at which the wave profile propagates, while group velocity (always lower) is the speed at which wave energy is transmitted. Wave energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude and is divided equally between kinetic and potential components on average.
1. The document provides answers to example problems involving wave propagation and hydraulics. It analyzes wave characteristics such as wavelength, phase speed, and acceleration for different water depths.
2. Methods like iteration of the dispersion relationship are used to determine wave numbers and properties for scenarios with and without current.
3. Key wave parameters like height and wavelength are calculated from pressure readings using linear wave theory and shoaling equations. Different cases consider deep, intermediate, and shallow water conditions.
The document discusses various processes of wave transformation as waves propagate into shallower water, including refraction, shoaling, breaking, diffraction, and reflection. It provides definitions and equations for each process. As examples, it works through calculations of wave properties for a given scenario involving wave refraction and shoaling as depth decreases.
Real wave fields consist of many components with varying amplitudes, frequencies, and directions that follow statistical distributions. Common measures used to describe wave heights include significant wave height (Hs), which corresponds to the average height of the highest one-third of waves. Wave periods are also measured, including significant wave period (Ts) and peak period (Tp).
Wave heights and periods can be analyzed statistically. Deep water wave heights often follow a Rayleigh distribution defined by the root-mean-square wave height (Hrms). Wave energy is represented by wave spectra such as the Bretschneider and JONSWAP spectra, which define the distribution of energy across frequencies. Spectral data can be used to determine key wave parameters like significant
This document discusses wave loading on structures. It describes the pressure distribution on surface-piercing and fully-submerged structures. For surface-piercing structures, the maximum pressure is at the water surface and decreases with depth. For fully-submerged structures, the maximum pressure is always less. It also provides an example calculation of wave forces and overturning moment on a caisson breakwater, determining the required caisson height, maximum horizontal force, and maximum overturning moment.
The document contains 23 multi-part questions related to wave properties and behavior. The questions cover topics such as calculating wave properties like wavelength, phase speed and particle motion from given parameters; estimating wave properties at different depths and under the influence of currents; applying wave theories to problems involving wave propagation over varying bathymetry; and analyzing wave loads on coastal structures. Sample questions provided seek solutions for wave characteristics at offshore measurement locations, during propagation to shore, and at breaking.
This document discusses statistics and irregular waves. It provides information on:
1. Measures used to describe wave height and period such as significant wave height and peak period.
2. Probability distributions that describe wave heights, particularly the Rayleigh distribution for narrow-banded seas.
3. Wave energy spectra including typical models like the Bretschneider and JONSWAP spectra, and how these relate to significant wave height.
