Study Notes
Covariance and Correlation
- Covariance (sxy) indicates the directional relationship between two variables.
- A positive covariance implies that both variables move in the same direction; if one is above its mean, the other is too.
- A negative covariance indicates that as one variable increases, the other decreases.
- Correlation coefficient (rxy) assesses both the strength and direction of a linear relationship.
- Formula for correlation: rxy = sxy / (sx * sy); where sx and sy are standard deviations of variables x and y.
- Correlation value ranges from -1 to 1: -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, 1 a perfect positive correlation.
Hypothesis Testing for Population Correlation Coefficient
- Two-tailed test: H0: pxy = 0, HA: pxy ≠ 0
- Right-tailed test: H0: pxy ≤ 0, HA: pxy > 0
- Left-tailed test: H0: pxy ≥ 0, HA: pxy < 0
- Test statistic: tdf = rxy / sr, with degrees of freedom df = n - 2 and sr = √((1 - (rxy)²) / (n - 2))
Residuals and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)
- Residual (e) is the difference between observed and predicted values of y, calculated as y - ŷ.
- OLS method minimizes the sum of squared errors (SSE) to find the best-fitting line.
- SSE formula: SSE = ∑ (yi - ŷi)² = ∑ ei².
Regression Coefficients
- Calculations for b1 and b0:
- b1 = ∑ (xi - x̄)(yi - ȳ) / ∑(xi - x̄)²
- b0 = ȳ - b1 * x̄
Goodness-of-Fit Measures
- Standard error of estimate (se) reflects the standard deviation of residuals.
- Sample variance se² = SSE / (n - k - 1) where k is the number of explanatory variables.
- R² measures the proportion of variance in the response variable explained by the regression model.
- R² ranges from 0 to 1; values closer to 1 indicate a better fit.
Adjusted R²
- Adjusted R² accounts for the number of explanatory variables, providing a more accurate model selection.
- Formula: Adjusted R² = 1 - (1 - R²)(n - 1) / (n - k - 1).
Test Statistics for Significance
- For individual significance: tdf = bj - bj0 / se(bj), with df = n - k - 1.
- Confidence interval for βj: βj ± tα/2,df * se(βj).
- For joint significance: H0: β1 = β2 = ... = 0; HA: at least one βj ≠ 0.
F-test for Model Significance
- F-statistic formula: F(df1,df2) = MSR / MSE = SSR/k / SSE/(n - k - 1).
- A high F-value suggests a substantial portion of sample variation in y is explained by the model.
- Compare observed F-value with critical F-value at α = 0.05 or use p-value for decision-making regarding H0.
Multicollinearity
- Perfect multicollinearity occurs when two or more independent variables are linearly correlated.
- Multicollinearity can lead to insignificant coefficient estimates despite a high R².
- Detection could involve seeing high R² values with insignificant variables, indicating the presence of multicollinearity.
Homoscedasticity
- Homoscedasticity occurs when the variance of errors (residuals) remains constant across different levels of independent variables.
Quadratic Regression Model
- A quadratic regression model is structured as y = β0 + β1x + β2x² + ϵ.
- The coefficient β2 determines the curvature: β2 > 0 indicates a U-shaped relationship; β2 < 0 denotes an inverted U-shape.
- To assess the marginal effect of x on y: Marginal effect is given by dy/dx ≈ β1 + 2β2x.
Interpretation of Coefficients
- β0 = 30 indicates an income of 30,000 for 0 years of education.
- β1 = 12 shows that each additional year of education increases income by 12,000.
- β2 = -0.8 suggests diminishing returns on income after a certain level of education, but β3 = 0.05 indicates a potential increase in income growth rate at higher education levels.
Model Evaluation
- Low R² paired with a significant F-value suggests important relationships exist even if variance is not well explained.
- High R² with insignificant variables may indicate multicollinearity problems, leading to unreliable coefficient estimates.
- Addressing multicollinearity may involve testing with Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) or removing strongly correlated variables.
