Suppose a psychologist used number of minutes of sleep in the night before a quiz to predict the time needed to finish the quiz using simple linear regression. The unstandardized coefficient (B in SPSS) is 5. If the psychologist converts the unit of sleep duration from minute to hour (a value of 60 [minutes] is changed to a value of 1 [hour]) and do the regression again, what is the unstandardized coefficient of sleep in this analysis using hour as the unit?
Correlation
Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
Linear Correlation
A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.
Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as predictors. Regression analysis is one of the methods to find the trends in data. The independent variable used in Regression analysis is named Predictor variable. It offers data of an associated dependent variable regarding a particular outcome.
