MinitabHelp Regression EN PDF

This document provides instructions for modeling the relationship between a machine setting and the amount of energy consumed using a quadratic regression model in Minitab. It describes choosing a quadratic model to account for the curvature in the relationship and taking the log transformation of energy consumption to produce a more symmetric error distribution. It outlines the steps to generate a fitted line plot in Minitab with machine setting as the predictor, energy consumption as the response, specifying a quadratic model and log transformation of the response variable. It interprets the results, noting the quadratic model provides a good fit, with the machine setting accounting for 93.1% of the variation in the log of energy consumed and the plot showing random spread around the regression line.

Simple Linear Regression

Help > Help > Stat Menu > Regression > Fitted Line Plot > example
You are studying the relationship between a particular machine setting and the amount of energy
consumed. This relationship is known to have considerable curvature, and you believe that a log
transformation of the response variable will produce a more symmetric error distribution. You choose to
model the relationship between the machine setting and the amount of energy consumed with a
quadratic model.

Open the worksheet Exh_regr.MTW.

Choose Stat > Regression > Fitted Line Plot.

In Response (Y), enter EnergyConsumption.

In Predictor (X), enter MachineSetting.

Under Type of Regression Model, choose Quadratic.

Click Options. Under Transformations, check Log10 of Y and Display logscale for Y variable.
Under Display Options, check Display confidence interval and Display prediction interval.

Click OK in each dialog box.

Interpreting the results


The quadratic model (p-value = 0.000, or actually p-value < 0.0005) appears to provide a good fit to the
data. The R indicates that machine setting accounts for 93.1% of the variation in log10 of the energy
consumed. A visual inspection of the plot reveals that the data are randomly spread about the regression
line, implying no systematic lack-of-fit. The 95% confidence limits (95% CI) for the log10 of energy
consumed and the 95% prediction limits (95% PI) for new observations are also shown.
