Sensitivity Coefficients for the Effects of Errors in the Independent Variables in a Linear Regression.

Abstract

This paper is concerned with errors in the observed values of the independent variables of a linear regression. Sensitivity coefficients are proposed to measure the effects of these errors and show that they can easily be computed from quantities ordinarily calculated in performing the regression.
