Regression equation:

The B values can be used to predict the value of the dependent (outcome) variable. In this example, the B values were 0.616 (distance from campus) and 0.375 (distance from nearest train station). As well as the B values, we need to know the constant value, which is 0.070 in this case (see Coefficients table). If someone lived 5 miles from campus and 5 miles from their nearest train station, the model would predict that this person would be late to lectures about five times: (5 x 0.616) + (5 x 0.375) + 0.070 = 5.025.

Regression and many other analyses are covered in my book, SPSS Made Easy:

Thank you so much! So many things that I have been studying for ages, suddenly make so much sense. I am very appreciative.

Thankyou very much for this video David, was a huge help in my Stats psychology assignment! Also really like how you incorporated your written report at the end, big help. A lot of other videos i've seen only describe the SPSS procedures, having the written side explained helps heaps in assignment settings. Cheers

Dr. Robinson, your step by step handling of assumptions was extremely helpful and concise. Thank you for such a clear cut video on MRs.

Thank you so much for this clear tutorial. I am just writing up my assumption checks for a MLR for an assessment (BSc Psychology), and this helped enormously.

Thank you Dr. David Robinson. So great to see such a detailed video. The way you smoothly teach and narrate your analysis is amazing.

Hi Dr. Robinson, great video. Just wondering what do you do if your r value is closer to zero? Does this mean that regression isn't a suitable test? Thanks!

[abdulazizalmarwani]

Tahnk you so much. That was very helpful. He deserves "subscribe" (:

Thank you so much for this insightful video! What about how to write the hypothesis final result itself after reporting the Multiple regression results. Like should i do it after or at the same time as I report say one of the predictors. If so, how in APA format?

[karlygashnuketayeva]

HI, thank you! a very clear presentation! I have one question: do I need to check assumptions with two IV's only (if I have two IV's only) before introducing an interaction term (before running process macro) or do I have to check assumptions with an interaction term as a third IV? Thank you!

[risausa]

Hi David! Love your videos. Can you also do a video on SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESSION with assumptions checks and APA write-up?

How would you proceed if you have an r value of exactly 7 but acceptable VIF and tolerance values? It seems that the assumption has been met despite the high r value given the other data.
