24 Questions
What is the primary purpose of a confidence interval in a classical linear model?
To provide a range of likely values for the population parameter
What happens to the confidence interval when the standard error of an estimate decreases?
The confidence interval narrows down
What is the correct formula for the upper bound of the confidence interval for a regression coefficient?
^β + [Critical value × standard error (^β)]
Which of the following tests is used to test multiple linear restrictions in a classical linear model?
F-test
What is affected by the degrees of freedom of a distribution in a classical linear model?
Confidence intervals
What is a common problem that can affect the estimation of confidence intervals in a classical linear model?
Heteroskedasticity
What is the relationship between the standard error of an estimate and the width of the confidence interval?
As the standard error decreases, the width of the confidence interval decreases
What is the primary purpose of a t-test in a classical linear model?
To test a hypothesis about the population mean
What is the primary reason why some authors prefer to report standard errors over t-statistics?
Having standard errors makes it easier to compute confidence intervals
If the calculated value of the t-statistic is less than the critical value, what happens to the null hypothesis?
It remains unchanged
What is a characteristic of a dependent variable that is normally distributed?
It takes on a large range of continuous values
What is the formula for calculating the F-statistic in a multiple linear regression?
F = [(R2ur – R2r)/q] / [(1-R2ur)/n – k – 1]
What is the purpose of hypothesis testing in regression analysis?
To determine the significance of the regression coefficients
What is the F-statistic used for in regression analysis?
To test the significance of multiple regression coefficients
What is the result of a t-test when the calculated value is less than the critical value?
The null hypothesis is accepted
What is the primary advantage of using the F-statistic over the t-statistic in regression analysis?
It can be used to test the significance of multiple regression coefficients
Which of the following tests is used to test multiple linear restrictions?
F test
What is true about a restricted model compared to its unrestricted model?
It has fewer parameters
What is the correct formula for the F statistic?
SSR ur / (n - k - 1) / (SSR r - SSR ur) / q
What can be said about the F statistic?
It is always nonnegative
What happens when the calculated value of F statistic is higher than the critical value?
We reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative hypothesis
What is true about the degrees of freedom of a restricted model compared to an unrestricted model?
It is always less
Which of the following statements is true about the F statistic and the t statistic?
The t statistic is more flexible than the F statistic
What is the purpose of the F test?
To test multiple linear restrictions
