PREDICT ARTIRIAL OXYGEN. 1. Always start with scatter plot to see if the data is linear (i.e. if the relationship between y and x is linear). Next perform residual analysis and test for violation of assumptions. (Let y = arterial oxygen and x = blood flow). twoway (scatter y x) (lfit y x) regress y x rvpplot x 2. Since regression diagnostics failed‚ we transform our data. Ratio transformation was used to generate the dependent variable and reciprocal transformation was used to generate the
