Question: Suppose you are looking at a simple linear regression = b 0 + b 1 X. However, you found you mixed up X with Y,

  1. Suppose you are looking at a simple linear regression = b0 + b1X. However, you found you mixed up X with Y, and realized it should be the other way: = ... + ...Y. Then...
  2. We can no longer make the prediction using the new model.
  3. Interchanging the two variables' locations will NOT have any impact.
  4. In the new case, X will still be observed variables and Y will be estimated.
  5. If we are only calculating Pearson's r, changing the locations will NOT change the correlation score.
