A Note on Reverse Regression, Collinearity, and Employment Discrimination

Shigeru Iwata

Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 1991, vol. 9, issue 3, 341-42

Abstract: This note refutes M. M. Whiteside and A. Narayanan's (1989) recent assertion that the conflict between direct and reverse regression for discrimination assessment (as pointed out by D. A. Conway and H. V. Roberts [1986] and others) is due to the collinearity in the data. Their mistake stems from misunderstanding of the elementary relationship between partial and multiple correlation coefficients.
