  4. Exercises
  1. See course notes below for exercises embedded within notes.
  2. Others may be added here if needed.
  1. Lecture Notes and Videos
  1. Introductory notes (variables, IV vs. DV., modeling behavior, central tendency, variability, correlation, t-test, hypothesis testing logic)
  2. Simple Regression with One Quantitative Predictor
  3. Multiple Regression with Multiple Quantitative Predictors
  4. Semi-partial Correlation (ΔR2)
    • Summary notes for chat: Notes 8c Regression Semi-partial Correlation 
    • Detailed notes: Read Notes 8b page 5 section entitled "ΔR2, Semi-partial Correlation, and the Partial F Test of ΔR2"
    • Video: ΔR2 Discussed and Illustrated in SPSS;  ΔR2 Notes used in video; Test Score Data (in SPSS format) used in video
      • (Note: SPSS syntax offers easy way to obtain several ΔR2 values and F ratios simultaneously: change Method=enter x1 x2 x3 x4 to Method=test (x1) (x2 x3) (x4). For Video data above, this command change produces summary output: "/METHOD=ENTER Study_Time IQ Griffin Moore" to this "/METHOD=TEST (Study_Time) (IQ) (Griffin Moore)" Add video segment to video above demonstrating this.
    • Table of Critical F-ratios: Critical F at .05 and .01
  5. Regression with One Qualitative Predictor
  6. Regression with Multiple Qualitative and Quantitative Predictors
  7. Effect sizes in regression (to be added)
  8. Sample size for regression (to be added)
  9. Standardized Regression Equation: Notes 8h Regression Standardized Coefficients (Note to instructor - update formatting, also check standardized equation subscripts)
  10. ANOVA Models (Note to instructor -- briefly discuss finding and using critical F values)
