A Note on Reverse Regression, Collinearity, and Employment Discrimination
反驳了Whiteside和Narayanan的观点,即直接回归与反向回归在歧视评估中的冲突源于数据共线性,指出其错误在于误解了偏相关系数与多重相关系数的基本关系。
This note refutes Whiteside and Narayanan's recent assertion that the conflict between direct and reverse regression for discrimination assessment (as pointed out by Conway and Roberts and others) is due to the collinearity in the data. Their mistake stems from misunderstanding of the elementary relationship between partial and multiple correlation coefficients.
