Question

Part of a regression output is provided below. Some of the information has been omitted.

Source of variation SS df MS F
Regression 3177.17 2 1588.6
Residual 17 17.717
Total 3478.36 19
The SS(Residual) is?

Answer 1

301.189

Explanation:

Given the table :

Source of Variation - - SS - - - df - - - MS - - - - F

Regression - - - - - -3177.17 - - -2 - - 1588.6

Residual - - - - - - - - ______ --17 - - -17.717

Total - - - - - - - - - - 3478.36 - - 19

Calculate the SSR, Sum of Square residual

The Sum of Square RESIDUAL (SSR), Mean Square Residual (MSR) and Degree of Freedom RESIDUAL (DFR) are related by the formular :

MSR = SSR / DFR

Hence,

SSR = MSR × DFR

Fr the table ;

MSR = 17.717 ; DFR = 17

SSR = (17.717 × 17)

SSR = 301.189
