Interpreting Regression Analysis Results: An Example

Abstract

An example of the application of multiple regression is presented in some detail. Predictor variable scores are based on the three parts of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Criterion variable scores are based on the performance of graduate students in an introductory statistical methods course. Even though the general predictive power of the GRE measures is assessed, the focus of the interpretation is on the prediction of the criterion for specified profiles of predictor measures.
