SS and R2 Portion for Effects Chosen for the Target

This section lists the chosen input variables from the forward stepwise regression. The table is divided into the following

five columns:

Effect lists the sequentially selected effects, which are ranked by the R2 statistic.

q   

DF shows the degrees of freedom associated with each model effect.

q   

R2 measures the sequential improvement in the model as input variables are selected. Multiply the R2 statistic by

100 to express it as a percentage. You can interpret the R2 statistic for the LEISURE effect as: "48.27% of the

variation in the target AMOUNT is explained by its linear relationship with LEISURE". The R2 statistic for

APPAREL indicates that this effect accounts for an additional 13.44% of the target variation.

q   

SS lists the sums of squares for each model effect.

q   

EMS lists the Error Mean Square, which measures variation due to either random error or to other inputs that are

not in the model. The EMS should get smaller as important inputs are added to the model. Note that although

STATECOD has an R2 value greater the STOPR2 cutoff value of 0.005, the error mean square becomes larger

when this effect enters the model.

Note:   Note that the AOV16, GROUP, and two-way class interaction effects are not considered in the forward stepwise

regression. Including these effects may produce a better model, but it will also increase the execution time of the DMINE

procedure. To learn how to include these effects into the analysis, see Example 2.  

Final ANOVA Table for the Target

The ANOVA table is divided into the following four columns:

Effect labels the source of variation as Model, Error, or Total.

q   

DF lists the degrees of freedom for each source of variation.

q   

R2 is the model R2, which is the ratio of the model sums of squares (SS) to the total sums of squares. In this

q   

---

example, the inputs collectively explain 78.10% of the total variability in the target AMOUNT.

SS partitions the total target variation into portions that can be attributed to the model inputs and to error.
