NOTE: Throughout this chapter and the next, the variables FFEV1 and MFEV1 have been divided by
100 before use in analyses. We have named these modified variables FFEV1a and MFEV1a,
respectively.
NOTE: To get the regression line on the graph, you need to run the
regression and get the predicted values. Those values are included on the
plot and are connected by the line.
