0down votefavorite | Hi everybody! I was wondering if somebody could help me with this question. I am running a regression model in order to obtain the rate of change of a variable over time. Because this unit is hard to interpret I am trying to calculate/derive the percentage of change, out of this coefficient of change. I came up with two ways but I am not sure which one is more accurate (or if there is a better one to do it) 1- Run the model and then obtain the baseline of that variable. Then divide that coefficient by that baseline number and multiply x100. (I do that with the coefficient as well as the confidence intervals) 2- Obtain/calculate another variable which is the % of change per measurement [(value-baseline)/baseline], run the regression model with this new variable. It will give me the % directly. To me, the 1st one sounds more accurate but in my team, people prefer the 2nd option. P-values vary quite a bit in this second case....P-values are more positive in the first way. In my team, they say to use the p-values of the raw/absolute coefficient and the % of change obtained by running this model. I am not confident about either case... Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome. Thank you so much in advance! Best regards |
