    Bivariate Relationships Problem: I am going to investigate if there is a relationship between the (explanatory variable) sampling height (cm) and the (response variable) height of the crown of the saplings (cm) that is measured from the base of the crown. Based from the data from study plots of either 1.5 hectares or 2.25 hectares in the Waitutu forest. Trees were randomly selected within the plots and measured during the summer. The plots were selected to be a representative sample of the vegetation

  • Correlation Analysis Using Ordinary Least Square Test

    1382 Words  | 3 Pages

    DATA ANALYSIS Coefficient Correlation Analysis The first analysis is by using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) test to measure the relationship of entire variables. The test is to find the function which most closely approximates the data. Thus, in general terms, it is an approach to fitting a model to the observed data. The details information regarding the variables is shown in table 4.1 and table 4.2 shows the least square test that measures all the variables. Variables Description LGP Log Gold Price
