Study Notes

Self-Assessment

  • The variable on the right-hand side of a linear regression is sometimes called an explanatory variable.
  • The variable on the left-hand side of a linear regression is not called a regressor.
  • When computing regression parameters using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), the squared horizontal distances between the model's predictions and the dependent variable values are minimized.
  • OLS selects parameters that minimize the sum of squared residuals.
  • The sample regression function includes a disturbance term.
  • A non-linear model that cannot be transformed into a linear model cannot be estimated using OLS.
  • The Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM) assumes the variance of error terms is not zero.
  • The CLRM assumes errors are normally distributed.
  • If CLRM assumptions hold, OLS estimators are Best Linear Unbiased Estimators (BLUE).
  • Consistency is a weaker condition than unbiasedness.
  • The standard error of the slope parameter is the square root of its variance.

Exercises 1

  • Calculate arithmetic sample mean and sample variance for x and y data.
  • Compute the sample covariance and sample correlation between x and y. Sample covariance = −15.1778.
  • Calculate sample correlation coefficient, rxy = −0.9610.

Exercises 1 (cont.)

  • Determine the sample regression function using formulas.
  • Sample regression function: ŷ = 62.689 - 5.3676x.
  • Use the formula involving sample covariance and sample variance. This gives the same beta coefficient as the previous method.

Exercises 2

  • Explain the difference between sample and population regression functions using equations.
  • Sample regression function describes the relationship between variables estimated from samples.
  • Population regression function represents the true but unknown relationship between variables within the entire population.

Exercises 3

  • Identify models that can be estimated using OLS (ordinary least squares).
  • Models that are linear in parameters are suitable for OLS estimation. Linearization is possible in some cases for models that are not already explicitly linear in the parameters.

Exercises 4

  • Null hypothesis (H0): Beta = 1.
  • Alternative hypothesis (H1): Beta > 1.
  • Evaluate test statistic to determine whether beta equals 1 given the data or whether to reject in favor of beta greater than 1.
  • The test statistic (2.682) is greater than the critical t-value (1.671). Reject the null hypothesis.

Exercises 5

  • Null hypothesis (H0): Beta = 0.
  • Alternative hypothesis (H1): Beta ≠ 0.
  • Evaluate test statistic to determine whether beta equals 0 given the data.
  • Since test statistic is not in the rejection region, fail to reject the null hypothesis.

Exercises 6

  • Form and interpret 95% and 99% confidence intervals for Beta based on calculated data.

Additional Information

  • Hypothesis tests are about actual, not estimated coefficients.
