Linear Regression and Correlation

Statistics is Fun A.H via YouTube

Overview

This course covers the topics of linear regression and correlation coefficient, with solved examples. The learning outcomes include understanding the correlation coefficient, covariance, variance, derivation of Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, finding regression equations, and using the method of least squares to calculate regression coefficients and constants. The course teaches skills such as calculating correlation coefficients, regression equations, and understanding the relationship between variables. The teaching method involves solving examples and proofs to explain the concepts. This course is intended for students studying statistics, particularly those in B.Sc and B.A programs.

Two indep. variates X1 and X2 have means 5 and 10 and variances 4,9.find corr. coef. b/w y1 and y2.
Covariance of two random variables when X and Y are dependent variables. cov(x,y)=E(x y) - E(x).E(y).
corr b/w x and y is "r".show that corr b/w ax and by is +r or -r acc to a and b hv same or diff sign.
Proof (Variance of the sum or difference of the two random variables.) var(x+y)=v(x)+v(y)+2cov(x,y).
