I'm getting a different error variance than regress...
Show older comments
Hi All, I'm confused about how the error variance is computed in regress. Why is STATS(4) sometimes larger than var(Y)? Why isn't it always equal to var(Resid)?
clear all;clc;
X=rand(100,3);
Y=rand(100,1);
[B,BINT,R,RINT,STATS] = regress(Y,[ones(size(X,1),1),X]);
varY=var(Y);
varResid=var(Y'-B'*[ones(size(X,1),1),X]');
disp(['var(Y) = ' num2str(varY)]);
disp(['var(Resid) = ' num2str(varResid)]);
disp(['STATS(4) = ' num2str(STATS(4))]);
thanks!
