Johnson Analysis to Compute Relative Weight of Regression Predictors

Question & Answer


Question

I would like to perform a Johnson Analysis of a set of regression predictors to assign relative weights, as described in: Johnson, J.W. (2000). A heuristic method for estimating the relative weight of predictor variables in multiple regression. Multivariate Behavioral Research, 35(1), 1-19. The basic goal is to assign relative importance or weight to each of the predictors in a regression model, based on both the direct (zero-order) correlation of the predictor with the dependent variable and the correlations among the predictors.
