HW Due November 18th

Conduct three bivariate regressions using the same continuous outcome, but three different continuous or dichotomous predictors. To what extent does the explanatory power of your predictors differ? Be sure to discuss your findings in terms of how a one-unit change in X influences Y. Importantly, in terms of each of your predictors, what is a “unit”? Select one predictor and create a standard regression table.

HW for Nov 11

For your paper this week, pick a handful of continuous variables (organize around a central question) and examine their correlations. Include a table - see the gender paper, P30.

(Don't worry about z-scoring variables here.)
