Regression analysis unstandardized coefficients are raw. When the value is near zero, there is no linear relationship. A standardized coefficient is the same as an unstandardized coefficient between two standardized variables. Comparing regression coefficients within one sample. To begin with, the regression coefficient between two standardized variables is equal to the covariance of the standardized variables. These are all questions that we might be able to answer from the coefficient estimates, but not the raw, unstandardized ones that stata generally. So lets interpret the coefficients of a continuous and a categorical variable. Therefore, standardized coefficients refer to how many standard deviations a dependent variable will change, per standard deviation increase in. Interpreting regression coefficients the analysis factor.
How do you decide which of the xs are most important for determining y. Because the coefficients are all in the same standardized units you can compare these coefficients to assess the relative strength of each of the predictors. Actually, in interpretation of your regression results the value of any unstandardized coefficient denotes the change in the dependent variable with a unit increment in the independent variable.

In this handout, we discuss one possible and controversial answer to this question the standardized regression coefficients. The standardized regression coefficient, found by multiplying the regression coefficient b i by s x i and dividing it by s y, represents the expected change in y in standardized units of s y where each unit is a statistical unit equal to one standard deviation due to an increase in x i of one of its standardized units ie, s x i, with all other x variables unchanged. The coefficients and the odds ratios then represent the effect of each independent variable controlling for all of the other independent variable in the model.
