using an ellipse or (hyper) ellipsoid in a Euclid space. Ø Multiple corr. coeff. : Lengths ratio of line segments. Ø Regression coeff. : Read by a linear scholar field. Ø Partial corr. coeff : Read by a measure inside ellips-e/oid. 2. The above results makes : Ø Easy to understand/interpret the multiple regression both in (1) numerical results and (2) how to calculate. Ø may help in solving many paradoxical phenomena in multiple regression such as : multicollinearity, instability, etc. 2
1. Multiple correlation coefficient : Ø Difficult to know when/how it has unexpectedly large value. 2. Regression coefficients for Xi often can have : Ø different in ʶ signs from intuition. Ø very larger values from intuition. 3. Partial correlation coefficient for Xi : Ø can differ in ʶ signs from the corr. coeff. btw. Xi and Y. n Other issues: Ø Multicollinearity, especially for time series analysis. Ø Instability occurs w.r.t. sample from same population. Ø Incomputability by negative definite correlation matrix during handling missing values. 7 L
