matlab addedvarplot,Added variable plot

Description

addedvarplot(X,y,num,inmodel) displays

an added variable plot using the predictive terms in X,

the response values in y, the added term in column num of X,

and the model with current terms specified by inmodel. X is

an n-by-p matrix of n observations

of p predictive terms. y is

vector of n response values. num is

a scalar index specifying the column of X with

the term to be added. inmodel is a logical vector

of p elements specifying the columns of X in

the current model. By default, all elements of inmodel are false.Note:

addedvarplot automatically includes a constant

term in all models. Do not enter a column of 1s directly into X.

addedvarplot(X,y,num,inmodel,stats) uses

the stats output from the stepwisefit function

to improve the efficiency of repeated calls to addedvarplot.

Otherwise, this syntax is equivalent to the previous syntax.

Added variable plots are used to determine the unique effect

of adding a new term to a multilinear model. The plot shows the relationship

between the part of the response unexplained by terms already in the

model and the part of the new term unexplained by terms already in

the model. The "unexplained" parts are measured by the

residuals of the respective regressions. A scatter of the residuals

from the two regressions forms the added variable plot.

In addition to the scatter of residuals, the plot produced by addedvarplot shows

95% confidence intervals on predictions from the fitted line. The

fitted line has intercept zero because, under typical linear model

assumptions, both of the plotted variables have mean zero. The slope

of the fitted line is the coefficient that the new term would have

if it were added to the model with terms inmodel.

Added variable plots are sometimes known as partial regression

leverage plots.
