Using projection for testing goodness-of-fit in regression models for repeated measures
Abstract:
Repeated measures data often occur in practice. This has led to considerable progress in the development of methods for inference in models for such data. In this paper, projection methods are proposed for examining goodness-of-fit in regression models for repeated measures. Rao's (1959, Biometrika 46, 49-58) F-test for testing a postulated mean structure using an independently identically normally distributed random sample is extended to a broad class of models including both fixed and random effects. The paper also shows how projection methods may be utilized for checking multivariate normality. In addition, application of projection to test the adequacy of extremely unbalanced models is considered. Two examples are given to demonstrate the underlying techniques.

01:11Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
01:11Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.

01:25Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
