Chi Square Formula and Degrees of Freedom Questions

248 Views Asked by At

I have a population sample with 200 points of data and 3 degrees of freedom so am I supposed to do a chi square formula with all 200 points of data? I believe that is what I'm supposed to do but I'm getting extremely high chi squared values and they are not on the chart at all. So am I supposed to use 200 degrees of freedom then?

I'm comparing predicted values for how much money a stock will make using different inputs from a multiple regression formula to the actual values and I'm very lost as to what to do to show how effective my predictions are.

  1. Chi squared is only done for each input in a multiple regression formula or can I use it for the entire formula?
  2. Someone mentioned the anova table and I looked this up and this might work but it doesn't seem to be used for multiple regression. Is this what I need or if not then what do I use to calculate how effective my multiple regression formula predictions are?
