Re: multicollinearity in regression

Hi,

After reading numerous articles on the web, I have a couple of
questions.

1. How do I enter 5 continuous control variables such as LogSize in
regression?
Note I also have 2 continuous independent variables which are not
control variables but on which hypotheses are based. I also have 3
categorical independents which have 2 categories on which hypotheses
are based.
I could use Analysis of Covariance but 2 of the independent variables
are also continuous.
Do I just enter all the variables as Independents into the regression
using Enter method (which is what I have done)?

Paul,

Yes you COULD, but you SHOULDN'T.

You should take a first course in multiple regression analysis that is
taught by a competent statistician before proceeding to any data or
analysis in which your questions are a dead giveaway that you
have absolutely NO BUSINESS in doing the computer run or the
analysis yourself.

There are enough professional Quacks in the Multiple Regression
subject without an additional amateur Quack.
