1 Standardized regression coefficients are often reported in research manuscripts. Which statement is FALSE regarding standardized regression coefficients?

  • A.Standardized regression coefficients allow researchers to compare the relative impact of each predictor on the Y variable.
  • B.The raw value for each predictor variable is converted to z scores with a mean of 0 and SD of 1.
  • C.Standardized regression coefficients are referred to as beta weights.
  • D.The standardized regression coefficient for each predictor is expressed in standard deviation units.
  • E.Standardized regression coefficients indicate the risk of a Type II error for each predictor.
  • F.Assume Predictor = X, Predicted = Y, SD = Standard Deviation. If the standardized regression coefficient for X = - 3.0, this indicates that as X increases by 1 SD, Y decreases by 3 SDs.

2 Which statement is TRUE regarding R-squared in multiple regression?

  • A.R-squared indicates the proportion of the variances in the predicted ( Y) variable accounted for by the predictor (X) variables in the regression model considered together (simultaneously)
  • B.R-squared provides an indicator of the prediction accuracy of the multiple regression model
  • C.R-squared provides an estimate of clinical significance and relevance.
  • D.All of the above statements are TRUE.

3 In multiple regression, regression coefficients are sometimes referred to as partial regression coefficients. Why?

  • A.The coefficients are the weights associated with a given predictor when partialling out for the effects of the other predictors in the model.
  • B.The coefficients are the weights associated with a given predictor when adjusting for the effects of the other predictors in the model.
  • C.The coefficients are the weights associated with a given predictor when controlling for the effects of the other predictors in the model.
  • D.The coefficients are the weights associated with a given predictor when holding constant the effects of the other predictors in the model.
  • E.All of the above are TRUE (reasons).
