d a positive relation. When the residuals were plotted against the fitted values yˆi , the student found no relation. How could this difference arise? Which is the more meaningful plot?

Answer:

The residuals represent the distance from the Y’s to the fitted Y’s in either cases. If there

is no violation of the assumptions, there should be apparent pattern when plotting residuals

again the fitted Y values, which is more meaningful when carrying out residual analysis.

As for plotting residuals against observed Y’s, it should always manifest positive relations

between the two, so it’s not sensible. You can explain this from two perspectives. One

is by intuition: for large Y’s, it is more likely that the values depart from the regression

line(especially if the line is pretty flat, and the data are more spread out), and for small

Y values, it’s more likely that they’re somewhere around the regression line, thus have a

less significant residual. Another way to explain the positive correlation comes from the decomposition of the Y:

eˆ = Y − Yˆ , so we have Y = ˆe + Yˆ . Since ˆ(Y ) and ˆ(e) are independent, we have that the

covariance between ˆ(e) and Y is always positive, even when the assumption is not violated.

In this sense, the residual plot against fitted Y is more meaningful, actually it is the most

classic residual plot that we usually use.

_____ are observable and easy to measure, while _____ are not so observable or easy to measure.
Julli [10]

Answer:

behaviors, mental processes

Explanation:

Behaviours observable and easy to measure, while mental processes are not so observable or easy to measure.

Human behaviours can be measured by three fundamental properties which include repeatability, temporal extent, and temporal locus. The ability to measure human behaviour is important as it helps to identify the function maintaining a problem behavior and to evaluate the success of a positive behavior support plan. On the contrary, mental processes such as perception, memory, thinking are not easily observable or measurable.

Briefly summarize Bailyn’s historical interpretation of the causation of the American Revolution.
bixtya [17]

According to Bailyn's historical interpretation, American revolution was the result of ideological change rather than economic or social motivation.

Explanation:

He states that it is the ideologies and principles and convictions of Americans which proved to be the impetus of the revolution. He states that this ideological scenario can be categorized in to three phases. Firstly, The colonists felt that a conspiracy free relationship with Britain need to be maintained but Americans started to feel the corruption of British government which were totally contradicting the ideologies of Americans.

This made them to plunge into protests. The second scenario occurred when Articles of confederation was established which highlighted the states rights. This was long debated, as these articles of confederation did not serve the purpose during times of Emergency and the third scenario is when the Americans realized the importance of humans as an important part of society and the founding fathers debated that every human carried a natural right which plays a significant role in framing the constitution.
