PARTIAL STANDARDIZATION IN TRACING MARGINAL CONTRIBUTION OF EXPLANATORY VARIABLES IN REGRESSION

Abstract

Tracing relative importance of explanatory variables of regression model in application problem studies such as,
social, agricultural, medical, engineering and industrial sciences attracts the researchers. It is essential to detect the
importance of explanatory variables that contribute most to the response variable. In this paper an attempt is made to
exemplify here by some empirical data to find out the importance of partial standardization in tracing marginal contribution
of explanatory variables in regression.
