Question: Population Regression Hello: I am having trouble with one concept and would like to request your assistance. Regarding simple regression analysis, will a population reression line always yield the mean of the y's for a given indepent variable x? I am having difficulty understanding how this might be? Thank you for your consideration,
READERS RESPOND: Re: Question: Population Regression (Not sure if that helped you much).
Re: Question: Population Regression If you mean that for every x you obtain the mean of the y's : the ecuation is Yi= A*xi+B so: If you mean that for a given x you obtain a y value that is the average of the points at the same x ( more or less) >> in the regression line it suppouse to be a normal distribution of the y values arround the line. I hope it helps
