What does “Scatterplot Coordinates” mean?Scatterplots
A display of relationships between paired numerical variables.
What important condition applies to scatterplot coordinates?Scatterplots
Two selected points do not characterize the full dataset.
What does “Local Point Comparisons” mean?Scatterplots
A rate comparison between two paired observations.
What important condition applies to local point comparisons?Scatterplots
Do not substitute a chosen two-point slope for a fitted regression coefficient.
What does “Correlation and Explained Variation” mean?Correlation
A linear-association summary and its squared relationship to simple-regression R².
What important condition applies to correlation and explained variation?Correlation
This r² identity has a specified regression setting.
What does “Correlation and Units” mean?Correlation
The invariance of correlation to positive changes of measurement scale.
What important condition applies to correlation and units?Correlation
A slope’s numerical value can change even when correlation does not.
What does “Regression Predictions” mean?Linear Regression and Residuals
A model-based response estimate using an explanatory input.
What important condition applies to regression predictions?Linear Regression and Residuals
Check the observed input range before extrapolating.
What does “Residuals” mean?Linear Regression and Residuals
A signed prediction error used to evaluate a fitted model.
What important condition applies to residuals?Linear Regression and Residuals
Residual is observed minus predicted, not the reverse.
