为什么

注意:SST =总和的平方和,SSE =误差平方和,SSR =回归平方和。标题中的等式通常写为:

一世=1个ñÿ一世-ÿ¯2=一世=1个ñÿ一世-ÿ^一世2+一世=1个ñÿ^一世-ÿ¯2

问题很简单,但我正在寻找一个直观的解释。直观地说,在我看来,像会更有意义。例如,假设点X 已对应的y值ÿ = 5ÿ = 3,其中ÿ是关于回归线的对应点。还假定对于该数据集的平均值y值是ˉ ŶSSTSSE+SSRxiyi=5y^i=3y^i。那么对于这个特定点我, Sy¯=0,而小号小号Ë = 5 - 3 2 = 2 2 = 4小号小号- [R = 3 - 0 2 = 3 2 = 9。显然, 9 + 4 < 25。这个结果不会推广到整个数据集吗?我不明白SST=(50)2=52=25SSE=(53)2=22=4SSR=(30)2=32=99+4<25

Adding and subtracting gives

i=1n(yiy¯)2=i=1n(yiy^i+y^iy¯)2=i=1n(yiy^i)2+2i=1n(yiy^i)(y^iy¯)+i=1n(y^iy¯)2
So we need to show that i=1n(yiy^i)(y^iy¯)=0
i=1n(yiy^i)(y^iy¯)=i=1n(yiy^i)y^iy¯i=1n(yiy^i)
ei=yiy^ii=1n(yiy^i)y^i=0, and (b) the sum of the fitted values needs to be equal to the sum of the dependent variable, i=1nyi=i=1ny^i.

Actually, I think (a) is easier to show in matrix notation for general multiple regression of which the single variable case is a special case:

eXβ^=(yXβ^)Xβ^=(yX(XX)1Xy)Xβ^=y(XX(XX)1XX)β^=y(XX)β^=0
As for (b), the derivative of the OLS criterion function with respect to the constant (so you need one in the regression for this to be true!), aka the normal equation, is
SSRα^=2i(yiα^β^xi)=0,
which can be rearranged to
iyi=nα^+β^ixi
The right hand side of this equation evidently also is i=1ny^i, as y^i=α^+β^xi.

(1) Intuition for why SST=SSR+SSE

When we try to explain the total variation in Y (SST) with one explanatory variable, X, then there are exactly two sources of variability. First, there is the variability captured by X (Sum Square Regression), and second, there is the variability not captured by X (Sum Square Error). Hence, SST=SSR+SSE (exact equality).

(2) Geometric intuition

Please see the first few pictures here (especially the third): https://sites.google.com/site/modernprogramevaluation/variance-and-bias

Some of the total variation in the data (distance from datapoint to Y¯) is captured by the regression line (the distance from the regression line to Y¯) and error (distance from the point to the regression line). There's not room left for SST to be greater than SSE+SSR.

(3) The problem with your illustration

You can't look at SSE and SSR in a pointwise fashion. For a particular point, the residual may be large, so that there is more error than explanatory power from X. However, for other points, the residual will be small, so that the regression line explains a lot of the variability. They will balance out and ultimately SST=SSR+SSE. Of course this is not rigorous, but you can find proofs like the above.

Also notice that regression will not be defined for one point: b1=(XiX¯)(YiY¯)(XiX¯)2, and you can see that the denominator will be zero, making estimation undefined.

Hope this helps.

When an intercept is included in linear regression(sum of residuals is zero), SST=SSE+SSR.

prove

SST=i=1n(yiy¯)2=i=1n(yiy^i+y^iy¯)2=i=1n(yiy^i)2+2i=1n(yiy^i)(y^iy¯)+i=1n(y^iy¯)2=SSE+SSR+2i=1n(yiy^i)(y^iy¯)
Just need to prove last part is equal to 0:
i=1n(yiy^i)(y^iy¯)=i=1n(yiβ0β1xi)(β0+β1xiy¯)=(β0y¯)i=1n(yiβ0β1xi)+β1i=1n(yiβ0β1xi)xi
In Least squares regression, the sum of the squares of the errors is minimized.
SSE=i=1n(ei)2=i=1n(yiyi^)2=i=1n(yiβ0β1xi)2
Take the partial derivative of SSE with respect to β0 and setting it to zero.
SSEβ0=i=1n2(yiβ0β1xi)1=0
So
i=1n(yiβ0β1xi)1=0
Take the partial derivative of SSE with respect to β1 and setting it to zero.
SSEβ1=i=1n2(yiβ0β1xi)1xi=0
So
i=1n(yiβ0β1xi)1xi=0
Hence,
i=1n(yiy^i)(y^iy¯)=(β0y¯)i=1n(yiβ0β1xi)+β1i=1n(yiβ0β1xi)xi=0
SST=SSE+SSR+2i=1n(yiy^i)(y^iy¯)=SSE+SSR
