Questions and Answers

The computed sample regression function takes into account both the mean and variance of x and y.

True

The null hypothesis states that the true value of beta is less than one.

False

A beta value greater than one indicates that the security is less risky than the market.

False

The test statistic is calculated combining beta estimate and its standard error.

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.
