,Lecture 1
Model comparison approach → all traditional tests (t-tests, ANOVA, regression) can be reformulated
as model comparisons
→ do more than traditional tests and also prevent p-hacking
Nested models = all terms of a smaller model are also included in a larger model
→ Model 1: 𝑦 = 𝑏0 + 𝑏1𝑥1
→ Model 2: 𝑦 = 𝑏0 + 𝑏1𝑥1 + 𝑏2𝑥2
→ how much do I improve fit if I include 𝑏2𝑥2 into the model, above and beyond what’s already in
the model?
P-value = probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the result actually observed,
under the assumption that the null hypothesis is correct
P-hacking = running lots of statistical tests on the same data and reporting only those results that are
significant.
→ better not to use p-values (instead: estimation of effect by use of means, standard deviations,
correlations, effect sizes, cohen’s d, and CI’s OR graphical analysis OR model comparison OR bayesian
statistics)
Lecture 2
Idea of simple linear regression:
1. draw a scatterplot of your bivariate data
2. draw a straight line that comes as close as possible to the points (minimize prediction errors
aka residuals, thus ordinary least squares criterion (OLS))
3. find out what the equation of this straight line is
Confidence interval to examine the size of the effect
→ CI for the slope parameter β1: 𝑏1 + 𝑡 * 𝑆𝐸(𝑏1) use t-distribution with 𝑑𝑓 = 𝑛 − 2
NOT ON FORMULA SHEET (n - estimated parameters)
Significance test to test whether or not there is an effect
𝑏1
→ test statistic to test if β1 = 0: 𝑡 = 𝑆𝐸(𝑏1)

, Different but equivalent representations of simple linear regression model:
1. Statistical model (population): µ𝑦 = β0 + β1𝑥
2. Statistical model (population): 𝑦 = β0 + β1𝑥 + ε
Linear regression can be used to describe many such relationships:
1. Simple linear regression: 1 DV & 1 IV
2. Multiple linear regression: 1 DV & multiple IV’s plus possible interactions
3. 1-ANOVA: 1 DV & 1 categorical IV using code variables
4. 2-ANOVA: 1 DV & 2 categorical IV’s using code variables for each factor
Interpreting regression coefficients in:
→ simple linear regression: A slope in bivariate regression describes the effect of that variable on
the response variable
→ multiple linear regression: A slope describes the effect of an explanatory variable while
controlling effects of the other explanatory variables in the model
Multiple linear regression:

𝑏1 = 𝑏1 * · 𝑠1
and 𝑏2 = 𝑏2 * · 𝑠2
𝑏0 = 𝑦 − 𝑏1𝑥1 − 𝑏2𝑥2
Where 𝑏1 * and 𝑏2 * are standardized regression coefficients

Examining association using multiple linear regression
→ how well do all IVs together explain/estimate y?
→ use multiple R (correlation between y and 𝑦12) and R2 (percentage of explained variance)
