PARTIALPLOT Subcommand (REGRESSION command)

PARTIALPLOT requests partial regression plots. Partial regression plots are scatterplots of the residuals of the dependent variable and an independent variable when both of these variables are regressed on the rest of the independent variables.

  • If PARTIALPLOT is included without any additional specifications, it produces a partial regression plot for every independent variable in the equation. The plots appear in the order the variables are specified or implied on the VARIABLES subcommand.
  • If variables are specified on PARTIALPLOT, only the requested plots are displayed. The plots appear in the order the variables are listed on the PARTIALPLOT subcommand.
  • At least two independent variables must be in the equation for partial regression plots to be produced.

ALL. Plot all independent variables in the equation. This is the default.

varlist. Plot the specified variables. Any variable entered into the equation can be specified.

Example

REGRESSION VARS=PLOT15 TO SAVINGS
  /DEP=SAVINGS
  /METH=ENTER
  /RESID=DEFAULTS
  /PARTIAL.
  • A partial regression plot is produced for every independent variable in the equation.
