Study Notes
Multivariate Regression Analysis
- Definition: A statistical method to understand the relationship between multiple independent variables and a single dependent variable. Useful for time series data.
-
Key Components:
- One dependent variable
- Two or more independent variables (potentially correlated)
- Coefficients showing each independent variable's impact on the dependent variable
- An error term
- Accounts for potential time dependencies and autocorrelations.
-
Applications:
- Healthcare: Analyzing patient outcomes, predicting disease progression, and personalizing medicine.
- Business and Economics: Understanding consumer behavior, forecasting economic indicators, and making strategic decisions.
- Time Series Data: Forecasting future values using historical data, considering lagged dependent and independent variables to capture time effects.
Need for Multivariate Regression
- Modeling complex relationships: Used when several factors influence a dependent variable.
- Controlling for confounding variables: Adjusting for other influential factors to get a clearer picture of the relationship between the main variables.
- Improving predictive power: Building models that accurately predict future outcomes.
- Comparing effects of different variables: Assessing which independent variables have the greatest impact on the dependent variable.
- Choosing the best model: Selecting the most effective and accurate model using appropriate metrics.
Building and Interpreting a Multivariate Regression Model
- Building Process: Involves data preparation, variable selection, model building, evaluation, and interpretation steps.
-
Key Components:
- Dependent variable
- Independent variables
- Coefficients
- Error term
Limitations and Challenges
- Assumptions: Linearity, independent observations, and constant variance of errors (homoscedasticity) need to be met.
- Multicollinearity: Highly correlated independent variables can distort results and make interpretations unreliable.
- Autocorrelation: Correlation between residuals across time periods leads to inefficient estimates and biased tests if not addressed.
EViews Application
- Data Preparation: Ensuring time series data is stationary. Techniques include differencing and logging.
- Conducting Regression: Using EViews' tools to define models, estimate coefficients, and obtain metrics like R-squared.
- Interpreting Output: Understanding coefficients, p-values (significance), and diagnostic checks like the Durbin-Watson statistic (autocorrelation).
- Identifying Multicollinearity: Use Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) and correlation matrices.
- Residual Normality: Check if residuals are normally distributed using tests like Jarque-Bera.
- Serial Correlation: Detect if there's correlation in residuals using tests like Breusch-Godfrey LM Test.
- Model Specification: Test for potential omitted variables or incorrect functional form using Ramsey RESET test.
Model Performance Metrics
- R-squared and adjusted R-squared: Measure the goodness of fit.
- P-values: Assess statistical significance of coefficients.
