Introduction
• Regression is the study of formulation and determination of an algebraic term for

the relationship between the variables.
• Also, it predict the value of one variable from that of the other.
• Regression is to determine statistical relationship between two or more variables.
• For example, temperature and drug dissolved in solvent are correlated. It can help to

find out amount of drug dissolved at particular temperature Regression analysis
estimates or predicts the value of one variable, if the value of other variable is
known.

• Thus, regression analysis is a statistical method used in various disciplines that
attempts to determine the strength and character of the relationship between one
dependent variable (y) and a number of other independent variables (X1, X2, X3
etc.).

• According to Blair “regression is the measure of the average relationship between
two or more variables in terms of the original units of the data”.

Types of Regression

• There are two basic types of regression namely,
1.Simple linear regression and
– uses one independent variable to explain or predict the outcome of
the dependent variable
2. Multiple linear regression.
– uses two or more independent variables to predict the outcome.
• There may be linear or non-linear regression.
• The linear regression is represented using graphs by straight line.
• Non-linear relationship between variables forms a curve and hence is

called as curvilinear regression,.

Properties of Regression:

1. Regression is illustration of response variable as a function of predictor variable.
2. It is estimated when there is significant correlation between the response and

predictor variable.
3. It predicts only a probable value of the response on a known value of predictor
4. It can be worked out in two ways: variable x on variable y and variable y on variable x
5. Regression coefficient is used to work out regression equation.
• There are two methods used to study regression namely;
Graphical method:
• In graphical method values of variables are plotted on graph as points that give a scatter

plot. Usually, independent variable is placed on x-axis and dependent variable on y-axis.
The regression line is drawn through point to balance points on each side of line.

Mathematical method:
• In mathematical method regression line is used to show regression of x on y and

regression of y on x to estimate correct correlation coefficient.

Linear Regression

• The relationship between two or more variables is estimated by
plotting the individual observations as points on scatter plot.

• The significance of relationship between variables is determined on
the basis of nature and direction of point on the plot.

• To estimate relationship between variables a straight line is drawn
approaching as close as possible through all the points on the plot.

(a) Regression lines:
• Relationship between two variables is presented by a regression line.
• It gives an average value of one variable (x) from any given value of other

variables (y).
• There are always two regression lines to demonstrate the relationship

between x and y variables.
• One line demonstrates regression of y on x and other line demonstrate

regression of x on y.
• In case of perfect correlation (+1), both the lines coincide to become single

line. If both these lines are close to each other is an indication of strong
correlation between both the variables, x and y .

• When these lines are farther from each other is an indication of weaker
correlation between variables.

• The correlation value O is an indication that both the variables are
independent of each other and their line will intersect with each other at
some location on the plot.

(b) Regression Equation:

• Suppose we are establishing a relationship between two variables x
and y, and we plotted them on scatter plot, we get two lines of best
fit that pass between all the point called ‘regression lines.

• Each line gives an equation called as ‘regression equation’.
• The statistical analysis is used to predict the exact location of straight

line/s is called as ‘line regression analysis.
• The two variables are supposed to have linear relationship if change

in one variable reflects certain amount of effect on other variable.
• The usefulness of regression analysis is to predict the value of one

variable from the known value/s of other variable/s.

www.DuloMix.com 8

 

• The regression equation is mathematical expression of regression line. Since there are two
lines, each line has its equation as:

• The linear regression equation for x upon y is:

Xy = a + by

• The linear regression equation for y upon x is:

yx = a + bx

Where, and y are two variables and, o and b are unknown constants.

• The value of a the point of intercept of regression line on y-axis. The value of b, also called as
regression coefficient, is computed as slope of the regression line. The regression coefficient
indicates relation between every unit change of x with the corresponding change in y.

(c) Significance of Regression:
Regression is employed to determine whether estimated value of
regression coefficient deviates significantly from the ideal zero value.

Application of Regression in Pharmacy
• Regression is often used in pharmaceutical research to determine how many specific

factors are related with each other and to know their level of interaction for the desired
outcomes.

• It has importance in predicting and solving the issues of target properties and desired
features.

• Following are some of the applications of regression in pharmaceutical field.
1. Finding best fit to linear physicochemical relationships.
2. Measurement of the median particle size of drugs, excipients and finished forms.
3. Studying enzyme kinetics and stability predictions.
4. Study of drug dose and response relationship over time.
5. In clinical trials for fitting linear portions of pharmacokinetics data.
6. In development of biochemical and chemical assay.
7. Plot of analyte recovery versus known amount in assays.
8. Calibration of analytical data for the quantitative analysis.

Curve fitting – Method of Least Squares
• Least square method is a mathematical procedure for finding the best-fit curve to

a given para set of data points by minimizing the sum of the squares of the
errors(the residuals) of the points from the curve.

• The sum of the squares of the errors (offets) is used because this allows the
residuals to be treated as a continuous differentiable quantity.

• However, using squares of the offsets, outlying points can have a
disproportionate effect on the fit. This property may or may not be desirable as it
is depending on the problem under consideration.

• This technique is the simplest and commonly applied form of linear regression
because it provides an answer to the problem of finding the best fit straight line
using a set of data points. If the relationship between the two parameters that
are plotted is known, it becomes easy to transform the data in suitable form that
the resulting line is a straight line.

• Let (xi,yi), i=1,2,3…n be n pairs of values of the variables X and Y. let
the equation of the line of regression of Y on X be

Y = A + bx (1)
so, Yi = A + bxi i = 1,2,….,n

• Here yi is the actual value of the variable Y and Yi is the value of Y
which is estimated by the equation (1)

• So Error = yi – Yi

• We minimize the sum of squares of errors given by

Properties of regression coefficients

(1) The correlation coefficient r is the geometric mean of the two regression
coefficients i.e.

r= 𝑏𝑦𝑥 × 𝑏𝑥𝑦
∴ bxy ∙ byx = r2

(2) Both the regression coefficients have the same sign. i.e. either they are
both positive or both negative.
(3) If one of the regression coefficients is greater than unity(1), then the
other is less than unity.
(4) Arithmetic mean of the two regression coefficients is greater than the
correlation coefficient.
(5) Regression coefficients are independent of the change of origin but not
of scale.

Estimate the production when the capacity utilization is 70%.
Solution : Let X denote the production and Y denote capacity utilization.

The equation of the line regression of Y on X is The equation of the line regression of X on Y is

Y- Ȳ = byx (X – X̄) X- X̄ = bXY (Y – Ȳ)
Y- 84.8 = 0.5019 (X- 35.6) X -35.6 = 0.7659( Y – 84.8)

∴ Y = 0.5019X – 17.86+ 84.8 X = 0.7659Y – 64.94 + 35.6
∴ Y = 0.5019X + 66.93 X = 0.7659Y – 29.34

Example: Two regression lines involving variables x and y are y = 5.6 + 1.2 x and x = 12.5 + 0.6 y. Find the means of x and y and
the correlation coefficient between x and y.

Solution : R=Two lines of regression intersect at the point ( x̄ , ȳ ) . Hence to find the values pf the means x̄ and ȳ , we solve
the given equations.

Substituting the value of x from the second equation in the first , we get

𝑦 = 5.6 + 1.2 12.5 + 0.6 𝑦
∴ 𝑦 = 5.6 + 15 + 0.72 𝑦

∴ 0.28 𝑦 = 20.6
20 .6

∴ 𝑦 = = 73.57
0.28

∴ 𝑥 = 12.5 + 0.6 𝑦 = 12.5 + 0.6 73.57 = 𝟓𝟔. 𝟔𝟒

Thus the points of intersection of two lines is ( 56.64 , 73.57)
∴ 𝒙 ̄ = 56.64 and ȳ = 73.57 The coefficient of correlation r is given by

Now, the equation of the line of regression of y on 𝑥 is
r = 𝒃𝒚𝒙 × 𝒃𝒙𝒚

𝑦 = 5.6 + 1.2 𝑥
∴ byx = coefficient of 𝑥 = 1.2 = −𝟎. 𝟐𝟔𝟖𝟏 (−𝟑. 𝟒𝟓𝟏𝟐)

Also, the equation of the line of regression of 𝑥 on 𝑦 is = 0.72
𝑥 = 12.5 + 0.6 𝑦 = 0.8485

∴ bxy = coefficient of 𝑦 = 0.6

Multiple regression
• In studies when there are two or more independent variables, the analysis

describing relationship between them is called ‘multiple correlations’ and the
equation that describe such relationship is known as the ‘multiple regression
equation’.

• Generally, multiple regressions explain the relationship between two or more
(multiple) independent variable and one dependent variable.

• Since this regression uses two or more independent variables is called ‘multiple
regression’.

• Multiple regression has two types namely, multiple linear regression and
multiple non-linear regression.

• Multiple linear regression analysis is a set of techniques used to study the
straight-line relationships between two or more variables, It is used to predict
values of the dependent variable indicating independent variables that have a
major effect on the dependent variable.

• It can be used when there are three or mwwow.rDueloMinix.dcomependent variables 25

 

(a) Assumptions of Multiple Regression:
1. All the variables are continuous measurement variables.
2. Data values of variables are unimodal and have fairly symmetrical

distribution.
3. There is a linear relationship between predictor and response (criterion)

variables.

www.DuloMix.com 26

 

(b) Computation of Multiple Linear Regression:
The purpose of a multiple regression is to find an equation that best predicts the y
variable as a linear function of x variables.
Multiple regression estimates the β’s in the equation.
The multiple linear regression equation is presented in the following general form:

𝒚 = 𝛃𝟎 + 𝛃𝟏𝐱𝟏𝒋 + 𝛃𝟐𝐱𝟐𝒋 + ⋯ … . . 𝛃𝒏𝐗𝒏𝒋 + 𝐂𝒋

Where, x’s are the independent variables and
y is the dependent variable.
subscript j represents the observation number.
𝛃’s (i = 1. 2.. n) are the unknown regression coefficients, which represent
the value at which the criterion variable changes when the predictor
variable changes. Their estimates are represented by b’s.
Each 𝛃 represents the unknown parameter, while b is an estimate of this 𝛃.
Cj is the error of observation j.

e.g. As an example, let’s say that, the tablet hardness of a batch of product will be
dependent on various factors like type of binder, amount of moisture and the
amount of compressional Force applied. Using hardness test one can estimate the
appropriate relationship among these factors.

www.DuloMix.com 27

 

• Although the regression problem may be solved by a number of
techniques, the most commonly used method is least squares.

• In least squares regression analysis, the b’s are selected so as to minimize
the sum of the squared residuals.

• This set of b’s is not necessarily the set that is desired, since they may be
distorted by outliers, the points that are not representative of the data.

• The sample multiple regression equation in such case is presented as
𝑦lj 𝑗 = 𝑏0 + 𝑏1𝑥1𝑗 + 𝑏2 𝑥2𝑗 + … … + 𝑏𝑛𝑋𝑛𝑗

• If n = 1, the model is called simple linear regression.
• It should be noted that the number of normal equations would depend

upon the number of independent variables.
• In case of 2 Independent variables, there are 3 equations, if there are 3

independent variables then 4 equations and so on, are used.
• The intercept 𝛃𝟎 is the point at which the regression plane intersects the y-

axis

www.DuloMix.com 28

 

• In multiple regression analysis, the regression coefficients, 𝛃𝟏, 𝛃𝟐 ,become less reliable when the
degree of correlation between the independent variables, x1, x2 increases.

• When there is a high degree of correlation between independent variables it is then known as the
problem of multicollinearity.

• In such condition, it is suitable to use only one set of the independent variable to make an
estimate.

• Actually, adding a second variable (x2) and correlating it with the first variable (x1) alters the values
of the regression coefficients.

• However, the predictions for the dependent variables can be made even when multicollinearity is
present.

• In such situation enough care is required to be exercised while Selecting the independent variables
for estimating a dependent variable to ensure that multi collinearity is reduced to the least.

• When there is more than one independent variable, a difference between the collective effect of
the two independent variables and the individual effect of each variable is taken separately.

• The collective effect is given by the coefficient of multiple correlations (Ry,x )
1×2

Standard Error of Regression
• The standard error (S) of the regression coefficient is the SD of the estimate. It is used in

hypothesis testing or confidence limits. The S of the regression represents the average
distance that the observed values fall from the regression line.

• The S gives information about how wrong the regression model is on using the units of the
response variable. The S becomes smaller when the data points are closer to the line.
Smaller values are better because it indicates that the observations are closer to the fitted
line, Fig. 2.3. The S of the regression can be used to assess the precision of the predictions.
Approximately 95% of the observations are supposed to fall within ±2 S of the regression
from the regression line, which is a quick approximation of a 95% prediction interval. If
regression model is used to make predictions, assessing the S of the regression might be
more important than assessing R2.

www.DuloMix.com 30

 

• As an example, in the regression output for Minitab statistical
software, we can find S in the “Summary of Model section, next to R2.

• Both S and R2 provide an overall measure of how well the model fits
the data.

• The letter S denotes the standard error of the regression and the
standard error of the estimate.

• In fact S represents the average distance that the observed values fall
from the regression line.

www.DuloMix.com 31

 

• For example, the fitted line in a plot shown in
Fig. 2.4, uses body mass index (BMI) to predict
body fat percentage. The value of S is 3.53399,
which indicates the average distance of the
data points from the fitted line is about 3.5%
body fats.

• The S of the regression is used to assess the
precision of the predictions.

• Thus, approximately 95% of the observations
should fall within ±2 S of the regression from
the regression line, which is also a quick
approximation of a 95% prediction interval. In
this example, about 95% of the observations
should fall within ±7% of the fitted line, which
is a close match for the prediction interval.
