Optional Arguments

IMSLS_X_COL_DIM, int x_col_dim   (Input)
Column dimension of x.
Default: x_col_dim = n_independent

IMSLS_Y_COL_DIM, int y_col_dim   (Input)
Column dimension of y.
Default: y_col_dim = n_dependent

IMSLS_N_DEPENDENT, int n_dependent   (Input)
Number of dependent variables. Input matrix y must be declared of size n_rows by n_dependent, where column i of y contains the i-th dependent variable.
Default: n_dependent = 1

IMSLS_X_INDICES, int indind[], int inddep, int ifrq, int iwt   (Input)
This argument allows an alternative method for data specification. Data (independent, dependent, frequencies, and weights) is all stored in the data matrix x. Argument y, and keywords IMSLS_FREQUENCIES and IMSLS_WEIGHTS are ignored.

            Each of the four arguments contains indices indicating column numbers of x in which particular types of data are stored. Columns are numbered 0 x_col_dim  1.

            Parameter indind contains the indices of the independent variables.

            Parameter inddep contains the indices of the dependent variables.

            Parameters ifrq and iwt contain the column numbers of x in which the frequencies and weights, respectively, are stored. Set ifrq = 1 if there will be no column for frequencies. Set iwt = 1 if there will be no column for weights. Weights are rounded to the nearest integer. Negative weights are not allowed.

            Note that required input argument y is not referenced, and can be declared a vector of length 1.

IMSLS_IDO, int ido   (Input)
Processing option.
The argument ido must be one of 0, 1, 2, or 3. If ido = 0 (the default), all of the observations are input during one invocation. If ido = 1, 2, or 3, blocks of rows of the data can be processed squentially in separate invocations of imsls_f_regression; with this option, it is not a requirement that all observations be memory resident, thus enabling one to handle large data sets.

Ido

Action

0

This is the only invocation; all the data are input at once. (Default)

1

This is the first invocation with this data; additional calls will be made. Initialization and updating for the n_rows observations of x will be performed.

2

This is an intermediate invocation; updating for the n_rows observations of x will be performed.

3

This is the final invocation of this function. Updating for the data in x and wrap-up computations are performed. Workspace is released No further invocations of imsls_f_regression with ido greater than 1 should be made without first invoking imsls_f_regression with ido = 1.

            Default: ido = 0

IMSLS_ROWS_ADD, or

IMSLS_ROWS_DELETE
By default (or if IMSLS_ROWS_ADD is specified), the observations in x are added to the discriminant statistics. If IMSLS_ROWS_DELETE is specified, then the observations are deleted.

            If ido = 0, these optional arguments are ignored (data is always added if there is only one invocation).

IMSLS_INTERCEPT, or

IMSLS_NO_INTERCEPT
IMSLS_INTERCEPT is the default where the fitted value for observation i is

            where = n_independent. If IMSLS_NO_INTERCEPT is specified, the intercept term

            is omitted from the model and the return value from regression is a pointer to an array of length n_dependent × n_independent.

IMSLS_TOLERANCE, float tolerance   (Input)
Tolerance used in determining linear dependence. For regression, tolerance = 100 × imsls_f_machine(4) is the default choice. For imsls_d_regression, tolerance = 100 × imsls_d_machine(4) is the default. (See imsls_f_machine  Chapter 15 , “Ultilities”.)

Description

Function imsls_f_regression fits a multivariate multiple linear regression model with or without an intercept. The multiple linear regression model is

yi = β0 + β1xi1 + β2xi2 +  + βkxik + ɛi                                i = 1, 2, , n

where the observed values of the yi’s are the responses or values of the dependent variable; the xi1’s, xi2’s, , xik’s are the settings of the k (input in n_independent) independent variables; β0, β1, , βk are the regression coefficients whose estimated values are to be output by imsls_f_regression; and the ɛi’s are independently distributed normal errors each with mean 0 and variance s2. Here, n is the sum of the frequencies for all nonmissing observations, i.e.,

where fi is equal to frequencies[i] if optional argument IMSLS_FREQUENCIES is specified and equal to 1.0 otherwise. Note that by default, β0 is included in the model.

More generally, imsls_f_regression fits a multivariate regression model. See the chapter introduction for a description of the multivariate model.

Function imsls_f_regression computes estimates of the regression coefficients by minimizing the sum of squares of the deviations of the observed response yi from the fitted response

for the n observations. This minimum sum of squares (the error sum of squares) is output as one of the analysis of variance statistics if IMSLS_ANOVA_TABLE (or IMSLS_ANOVA_TABLE_USER) is specified and is computed as follows:

Another analysis of variance statistic is the total sum of squares. By default, the total sum of squares is the sum of squares of the deviations of yi from its mean

the so-called corrected total sum of squares. This statistic is computed as follows:

When IMSLS_NO_INTERCEPT is specified, the total sum of squares is the sum of squares of yi, the so-called uncorrected total sum of squares. This is computed as follows:

See Draper and Smith (1981) for a good general treatment of the multiple linear regression model, its analysis, and many examples.

In order to compute a least-squares solution, imsls_f_regression performs an orthogonal reduction of the matrix of regressors to upper-triangular form. The reduction is based on one pass through the rows of the augmented matrix (x, y) using fast Givens transformations. (See Golub  and Van Loan 1983, pp. 156–162; Gentleman 1974.) This method has the advantage that the loss of accuracy resulting from forming the crossproduct matrix used in the normal equations is avoided.

By default, the current means of the dependent and independent variables are used to internally center the data for improved accuracy. Let xi be a column vector containing the j-th row of data for the independent variables. Let xi represent the mean vector for the independent variables given the data for rows 1, 2, , i. The current mean vector is defined as follows:

where the wj’s and the fj’s are the weights and frequencies. The i-th row of data has

subtracted from it and is multiplied by

where

Although a crossproduct matrix is not computed, the validity of this centering operation can be seen from the following formula for the sum of squares and crossproducts matrix:

An orthogonal reduction on the centered matrix is computed. When the final computations are performed, the intercept estimate and the first row and column of the estimated covariance matrix of the estimated coefficients are updated (if IMSLS_COEF_COVARIANCES or IMSLS_COEF_COVARIANCES_USER is specified) to reflect the statistics for the original (uncen­tered) data. This means that the estimate of the intercept is for the uncentered data.

As part of the final computations, imsls_f_regression checks for linearly dependent regressors. In particular, linear dependence of the regressors is declared if any of the following three condi­tions are satisfied:

      A regressor equals 0.

      Two or more regressors are constant.

     

is less than or equal to tolerance. Here,

is the multiple correlation coefficient of the i-th independent variable with the first i – 1 independent variables. If no intercept is in the model, the multiple correlation coefficient is computed without adjusting for the mean.

On completion of the final computations, if the i-th regressor is declared to be linearly depen­dent upon the previous  1 regressors, the i-th coefficient estimate and all elements in the i-th row and i-th column of the estimated variance-covariance matrix of the estimated coefficients (if IMSLS_COEF_COVARIANCES or IMSLS_COEF_COVARIANCES_USER is specified) are set to 0. Finally, if a linear dependence is declared, an informational (error) message, code IMSLS_RANK_DEFICIENT, is issued indicating the model is not full rank.
