  1. Introduction the General Linear Model (GLM) what “model,” “linear” & “general” mean bivariate, univariate & multivariate GLModels kinds of variables some common models

  2. “General Linear Model” • “Model” means that we are usually interested in predicting or “modeling” the values of one variable (criteria) from the values of one or more others (the predictors) • “Linear” means that the variables will be “linearly transformed (* & /) and “linearly combined” (+ & -) to produce the model’s estimates • “General” means that the model intends to provide a way to model & test RHs: about any combination of criterion and predictor variables (i.e., any model), and to test RHs: about comparisons among models

  3. Regression “vs.” GLM The “constant” is often represented differently in GLM than in multiple regression … Single predictor models  single predictor regression y’ = bx + a  single predictor GLM y’ = b0 + b1x1 Multiple predictor models • multiple predictor regression y’ = b1x1 b2x2+ a • multiple predictor GLM y’= b0 + b1x1 + b2x2

  4. Common kinds of GLModels • Bivariate one criterion & one predictor simple regression y’ = b0 + b1x • Univariate  one criterion & multiple predictors  multiple regression in all its forms y’ = b0 + b1x1 + b2x2 + b3x3 • Multivariate  multiple criterion & multiple predictors canonical regression in all its forms b0 + b1y1 + b2y2= b0 + b1x1 + b2x2 + b3x3

  5. Common kinds of variables Quantitative variables • Raw variable • Centered variables X – mean • Mean  0 simplifies math of more complicated models • Re-centered variables X  a more meaningful value • Change “start” or “stop” values • E.g., “aging & intellectual decline” • Mathematical “trick” to get the desired model/weights • selecting which group or value will be represented in model’s bs

  6. Common kinds of variables Quadratic quantitative variables • X2 – actually represents combination of linear + quadratic • Xcen2 – represents the “pure” quadratic term • Model with X2 will have ≈R2 as model with Xcen + Xcen2 • A model with a quadratic term should always include the linear term for that variable

  7. Common kinds of variables 2-group variables • Unit coding (usually 1-2) • Dummy Coding • “control” or “comparison” group coded 0 • “treatment” or “target” group coded 1 • Effect Coding • “control” or “comparison” group coded -1 • “treatment” or “target” group coded 1

  8. Common kinds of variables k-group variables • Raw coding (usually 1-2-3, etc.) • Dummy Coding • “control” or “comparison” group coded 0 • “treatment” or “target” groups coded 1 on one variable & 0 on all others • the full set of codes must be included in the model • Effect Coding • “control” or “comparison” group coded -1 • “treatment” or “target” group coded 1 on one variable & 0 on all others • the full set of codes must be included in the model

  9. Common kinds of variables K-groups variables, cont. • Comparison coding • Combining simple and complex analytical comparison codes to represent specific, hypothesis driven, group comparisons • E.g., Say you have 4 groups and RH: that… • Group 1 has higher scores that the average scores of groups 2-4 the codes would be gp1 = 3 gp2 = -1 gp3 = -1 gp4 = -1 • Groups 2 & 3 have higher average scores than do 1 & 4 the codes would be gp1 = -1 gp2 = 1 gp3 = 1 gp4 = -1 • Group 2 has higher scores than the average scores of groups 3-4 the codes would be gp1 = 0 gp2 = 2 gp3 = -1 gp4 = -1 • Usually havea set of k-1 codes

  10. Common kinds of variables K-groups variables, cont. Polynomial coding If the groups represent a quantitative continuum, you use codes to represent different polynomial functions (linear, quadratic, cubic, etc.) to explore the shape of the relationship between that variable and the criterion E.g., for a 5-group variable, the polynomial codes are … • Linear -2 -1 0 1 2 • Quadratic 2 -1 -2 -1 2 • Cubic -1 2 0 -2 1 • Quartic 1 -4 6 -4 1 • the full set of codes must be included in the model

  11. Common kinds of variables Ordered-category variables Sometimes you have a quantitative variable that you want to change into a set of ordered categories e.g.  % grade into “A” “B” “C” “D” “F” e.g.  % grade into “Pass” “Fail” e.g.  aptitude test scores into “remedial” “normal” “gifted” Sometimes this is done to help with “ill-behaved distributions” e.g.  frequency variable with mean=1.1, std=8.4, sk=4.2 e.g.  frequency variable with 60% “0” 38% “1” max = 118 Important because  skewed univariate distributions can “create” apparently nonlinear bivariate relationships

  12. Common kinds of variables Ordered-category variables, cont. Once you form the ordered categories (using “IF,” “RECODE” or other transformations), you can enter those variables into the GLM in different ways • Using the category values (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc)*** • Centering or re-centering the category values*** • Dummy codes of the category values • Effect codes of the category values • Polynomial codes of the category values*** *** indicates approaches that make assumptions about the interval nature of the variable and/or its normal distribution, with which not everyone agrees!

  13. Common kinds of variables Interactions • Interactions represent the “joint effect” or “non-additive combination” of 2 or more predictors as they relate to a criterion (or set of criteria in the multivariate case). • They are the “moderation,” “it depends,” “sometimes,” or “maybe” that makes our science and statistical analyses so interesting. • Interactions can be formed from the combination of any 2 or more variables of the types just discussed. • There are some “guidelines” about forming, including and interpreting interaction terms.

  14. Common kinds of variables Interaction  “Guidelines” • When including a 2-way interaction, both related main effects must be included • When including a 3-way interaction, all 3 main effects and all 3 2-way interactions must be included • When including a non-linear interaction term, the related linear and nonlinear main effects, and linear interaction terms must be included • The associated terms can not exceed the df of the variables involved (except for quantitative variables)

  15. Common kinds of GLModels “Linear” Multiple regression models y’ = b0+ b1x1+ b2x2+b3x3 Can include any of the variable types: • Quantitative (raw, centered or re-centered) • 2- or k-group (with dummy, effect, or comparison coding) • Ordered category (coded)

  16. Common kinds of GLModels “Non-Linear” Multiple regression models with quant variables y’ = b0+ b1x1+ b2x12+b3x2 + +b4x22 Can include any of the variable types: • Linear terms should be centered • Non-linear terms should be centered then powered • Non-linear terms above quadratic should be based on theory • Include linear term for all non-linear terms, at least at first
