Multiple Linear Regression:
Introduction
Regression Analysis is the
estimation of the linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables or covariates. (from SPSS Help)
Next
Introduction
This tutorial will use multiple regression to determine if the year of matriculation, total cumulative undergraduate GPAs, and MCAT scores can be used to predict how medical students will score on the US Medical Licensing Exam (Part 2).
Next
Introduction
Independent variables
matyr: Matriculation year totcum: Undergraduate GPA (Total Cumulative) nmtot1: MCAT Total 1992-present, most recent Dependent variable
usmle2: USMLE Step 2

Statistics
In SPSS, you can display information by right-clicking, but right-clicking doesnt work in this tutorial.
To see what rightclicking would show, left-click the box for Part and partial correlations.
21
Statistics
For this tutorial, click the checkbox for

Part and partial correlations.
22
Statistics
Statistics for the Model fit and Estimates for
Regression Coefficients
will be produced by default.
Click the checkbox for

Descriptives.
23
Statistics
This tutorial requests no additional statistics, so click the Continue button.
24
Requesting Plots
You can also request several different plots. Click the Plots button.
25
Standardized Residual Plots

In the box labeled
Standardized Residual Plots, first
click the checkbox for Histogram,
26

In the box labeled
Standardized Residual Plots, first
click the checkbox for Histogram, then click the box for Normal probability plot.
