Example 8.14: generating standardized regression coefficients. Standardized (or beta) coefficients from a linear regression model are the parameter estimates obtained when the predictors and outcomes have been standardized to have variance = 1. Alternatively, the regression model can be fit and then standardized post-hoc based on the appropriate standard deviations.
Beta is calculated by using regression analysis; one should think of beta as the tendency of a security's returns to respond to swings in the market. A beta of 1 indicates that the price of a security will move in tandem with the market; a beta less than 1 means that the security will be less volatile than the market.
