Mean square is the sum of squares devided with its df. The
mean sum of squares of residuals (s2) is the estimate of the
variance of the error terms (2) and the mean sum of squares
of the total (sy2) is the estimate of the variance of Y (y2).
F is the ratio between the mean sum of squares for regression
and the mean sum of squares for residuals. This is a test
function used to test the null hypothesis H0: all are equal to
zero, against the alternative hypothesis H1: at least one is
not zero. This is called the over all test.
sig is the p-value for the test function for the test above. The p-
value is the probability to get a value of the test function, with
random sampling, that is at least as high as the observed if the
null hypothesis is true.
Coefficients
Unstandardized (B) coefficients are the estimates of the
regression coefficients and Standardized coefficients are
the estimates of the regression coefficients if the x and y
variables should be standardized. A standardized variable is
the variable minus its mean value devided with its standard
deviation, for instance the standardized y-variable is [y-
mean(y)]/std(y). In a simple (only one x-variable) linear
regression the standardized coefficient for the variable is the
observed correlation between x and y.
VARIABLES
The observed value is higher than the critical value. Reject the
null hypothesis, i.e. there is a relation between sex and
attitudes.
Logit model
A common model to describe the relations between a
dichotomous categorical Y-variable and X-variables
(categorical or other variables) is the logit model (the logistisk
regression).
e 1 X 1
Modell: P Y 1 X 1
1 e 1 X 1
Or in a simpler way;
Logit P=+x1
Logit P=+x1+ x2
