Study Notes
Linear Regression Model Interpretation
- Linear regression models estimate relationships between variables.
- The output shows estimated values for regression parameters (coefficients, intercepts, and slopes).
- Standard errors quantify the variability of the estimated coefficients.
- T-values measure statistical significance of each coefficient (testing if it's zero).
- P-values are associated with t-values, indicating the probability of observing results as extreme as those if the null hypothesis is true (if a coefficient is zero).
- Residual standard error estimates the average difference between observed and predicted values.
- R-squared reflects the proportion of variance in the target variable explained by the model.
- F-statistic assesses the overall significance of the model compared to a model with no predictors.
Sum of Squared Residuals (SSR)
- SSR measures the discrepancy between observed values and predictions from the model.
- Minimizing SSR is the goal of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS).
- The formula for SSR is: (y-Xb)'(y-Xb) where y is the dependent variable vector, X is the independent variable matrix and beta is the coefficient estimates.
OLS Estimator
- OLS estimator finds the best linear unbiased estimates (BLUE) of coefficients.
- The formula for the OLS estimator is: β = (X'X)^-1 X'y
Gauss-Markov Theorem
- Conditions for OLS to be BLUE:
- Linearity: Model is linear in coefficients.
- No Multicollinearity: Predictor variables are not perfectly correlated.
- Exogeneity: Errors have zero mean and are uncorrelated with predictors.
- Homoscedasticity: Errors have constant variance.
- No Autocorrelation: Errors are uncorrelated with each other.
Hypothesis Testing, Confidence Intervals, Significance Level, p-value
- Hypothesis testing determines if a predictor variable significantly impacts the dependent variable.
- Null hypothesis (H0): Coefficient is zero (no effect).
- Confidence Interval: Range of plausible values for a coefficient.
- Significance Level (α): Probability of rejecting a true null hypothesis.
- p-value: Probability of observing results as extreme as computed, assuming the null hypothesis is true.
R-squared and F Statistic
- R-squared: Proportion of variance explained by the model (0-1). Higher values indicate better fit.
- F-statistic: Tests the overall significance of the entire model. A high F-statistic suggests a significant model.
Residual Standard Error
- Residual Standard Error (RSE): Estimate of error standard deviation from the regression line.
QQ Plots
- QQ plots assess if residuals follow a normal distribution, a key assumption of linear regression.
