True/False Statements:

1. In regression analysis, the dependent variable is the variable being predicted or explained.
(True/False)
2. Multicollinearity refers to the situation where independent variables in a regression model are
uncorrelated. (True/False)
3. The coefficient of determination (R-squared) can have a value between -1 and 1. (True/False)
4. A residual plot is used to assess whether the residuals from a regression model exhibit a pattern.
(True/False)
5. In logistic regression, the odds ratio is interpreted as the change in the dependent variable for a
one-unit change in the predictor variable. (True/False)
6. The F-test is used to determine whether at least one of the independent variables in a regression
model has a significant effect on the dependent variable. (True/False)
7. The term "heteroscedasticity" refers to the situation where the residuals from a regression model
have constant variance. (True/False)
8. An interaction variable is used in regression analysis to represent the relationship between two
independent variables. (True/False)
9. The Cox proportional hazards model is used in regression analysis when the dependent variable
is categorical. (True/False)
10. In ordinal regression, the dependent variable is measured on a continuous scale. (True/False)
11. Nonparametric regression assumes a specific functional form for the relationship between the
dependent and independent variables. (True/False)
12. The likelihood ratio statistic in logistic regression compares the fit of the model with predictors
to a model without predictors. (True/False)
13. The Poisson regression model is suitable for analyzing continuous outcomes. (True/False)
14. The Breusch-Pagan test assesses the normality of residuals in a regression model. (True/False)
15. In survival analysis, the survival function estimates the probability of experiencing an event by a
certain time. (True/False)
16. Robust regression is used when the data violate the assumption of independence. (True/False)
17. The exponential coefficient in Poisson regression represents the change in the expected count of
the dependent variable for a one-unit change in the predictor variable. (True/False)
18. Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) assume a linear relationship between the dependent and
independent variables. (True/False)
19. The Deviance statistic in Poisson regression assesses the overall fit of the model. (True/False)
20. Logistic regression is appropriate when the dependent variable is continuous. (True/False)
21. In applied regression analysis, imputation methods are used to handle multicollinearity.
(True/False)
22. The Breusch-Pagan test assesses whether there is heteroscedasticity in the residuals of a
regression model. (True/False)
23. The Likelihood ratio statistic in logistic regression compares the fit of the model to a null model.
(True/False)
24. Polynomial regression is used when the relationship between the dependent and independent
variables is linear. (True/False)
25. The Cox proportional hazards model is used for survival analysis. (True/False)
26. Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) allow for nonlinear relationships between the dependent
and independent variables. (True/False)
27. Ordinal regression is appropriate for analyzing outcomes measured on a continuous scale.
(True/False)
28. Interaction terms in regression analysis represent the joint effect of two or more independent
variables. (True/False)
29. In logistic regression, the logit function is used to model the probability of an event. (True/False)
30. The scatterplot plot is used to visualize the relationship between the dependent and independent
variables in a regression model. (True/False)
