This cell shows the correlation, 0.7477, between Price and Square Feet


Return to Homes-Sample 1• Select the Data tab• Select Data Analysis• Select Regression• OK


• Input Y Range: A1:A320• Input X Range: B1:F320• Select labels• New Worksheet Ply:

regress-1• OK


Excel produces the Regression Model


To determine if multicollinearity is a problem:• Select the Add-Ins tab• Select PHStat• Select Regression• Select Multiple Regression


• Y variable … : A1:A320• X variable … : B1:F320• Select First Cells in both …• Select Regression Statistics

…• Select ANOVA and …• Select Variance Inflation … • OK


PHStat will find Variance Inflation Factors for all independent variables. This slide shows the VIF for Garage # and all other X variables. Click on the sheet tabs X4,X3,X2,X1 to see the VIF for the other variables.

Issue: First City managers wish to improve the model by adding a location variable for the area.

Objective: Use Excel 2007 to improve a regression model by adding a dummy variable for the area either foothills or flatland.
