Coefficients (linear models)

This view displays the value of each coefficient in the model. Note that factors (categorical predictors) are indicator-coded within the model, so that effects containing factors will generally have multiple associated coefficients; one for each category except the category corresponding to the redundant (reference) parameter.

Styles. There are different display styles, which are accessible from the Style dropdown list.

  • Diagram. This is a chart which displays the intercept first, and then sorts effects from top to bottom by decreasing predictor importance. Within effects containing factors, coefficients are sorted by ascending order of data values. Connecting lines in the diagram are colored based on the sign of the coefficient (see the diagram key) and weighted based on coefficient significance, with greater line width corresponding to more significant coefficients (smaller p-values). Hovering over a connecting line reveals a tooltip that shows the value of the coefficient, its p-value, and the importance of the effect the parameter is associated with. This is the default style.
  • Table. This shows the values, significance tests, and confidence intervals for the individual model coefficients. After the intercept, the effects are sorted from top to bottom by decreasing predictor importance. Within effects containing factors, coefficients are sorted by ascending order of data values. Note that by default the table is collapsed to only show the coefficient, significance, and importance of each model parameter. To see the standard error, t statistic, and confidence interval, click the Coefficient cell in the table. Hovering over the name of a model parameter in the table reveals a tooltip that shows the name of the parameter, the effect the parameter is associated with, and (for categorical predictors), the value labels associated with the model parameter. This can be particularly useful to see the new categories created when automatic data preparation merges similar categories of a categorical predictor.

Predictor importance. There is a Predictor Importance slider that controls which predictors are shown in the view. This does not change the model, but simply allows you to focus on the most important predictors. By default, the top 10 effects are displayed.

Significance. There is a Significance slider that further controls which coefficients are shown in the view, beyond those shown based on predictor importance. Coefficients with significance values greater than the slider value are hidden. This does not change the model, but simply allows you to focus on the most important coefficients. By default the value is 1.00, so that no coefficients are filtered based on significance.
