Introduction to olsrr

Introduction

The olsrr package provides following tools for teaching and learning OLS regression using R:

This document is a quickstart guide to the tools offered by olsrr. Other vignettes provide more details on specific topics:

In the presence of interaction terms in the model, the predictors are scaled and centered before computing the standardized betas. ols_regress() will detect interaction terms automatically but in case you have created a new variable instead of using the inline function *, you can indicate the presence of interaction terms by setting iterm to TRUE.

Residual vs Fitted Values Plot

Plot to detect non-linearity, unequal error variances, and outliers.

model <- lm(mpg ~ disp + hp + wt + qsec, data = mtcars)
ols_plot_resid_fit(model)

DFBETAs Panel

DFBETAs measure the difference in each parameter estimate with and without the influential observation. dfbetas_panel creates plots to detect influential observations using DFBETAs.

model <- lm(mpg ~ disp + hp + wt, data = mtcars)
ols_plot_dfbetas(model)

Residual Fit Spread Plot

Plot to detect non-linearity, influential observations and outliers.

model <- lm(mpg ~ disp + hp + wt + qsec, data = mtcars)
ols_plot_resid_fit_spread(model)

Breusch Pagan Test

Breusch Pagan test is used to test for herteroskedasticity (non-constant error variance). It tests whether the variance of the errors from a regression is dependent on the values of the independent variables. It is a \(\chi^{2}\) test.

model <- lm(mpg ~ disp + hp + wt + drat, data = mtcars)
ols_test_breusch_pagan(model)
## 
##  Breusch Pagan Test for Heteroskedasticity
##  -----------------------------------------
##  Ho: the variance is constant            
##  Ha: the variance is not constant

Stepwise Regression

Build regression model from a set of candidate predictor variables by entering and removing predictors based on p values, in a stepwise manner until there is no variable left to enter or remove any more.
