Illustration of Regression towards the Means
Govindaraju, K.; Haslett, S. J.
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v39 n4 p544-550 Jun 2008
This article presents a procedure for generating a sequence of data sets which will yield exactly the same fitted simple linear regression equation y = a + bx. Unless rescaled, the generated data sets will have progressively smaller variability for the two variables, and the associated response and covariate will "regress" towards their unconditional sample means. (Contains 5 figures and 1 table.)
