True or False: And explain why in a few sentences
8. If you are modeling the weight of people in a clinical study, the R2 from regressing the weight in kilograms on age, height, gender, & dietary habits will be the same as when you record the weight in pounds and regress it on these variables.
Homework Answers
Changes of units will not affect the goodness of fit of your model, its out of sample predictive accuracy, nor will it make you more or less likely to overfit
Therefore r square will be the same.

True/False, & explain why in one or two sentences: 1. Panel data is not the same as pooled cross-sectional data. 2. A randomized controlled trial for an experimental cancer treatment finds that 54% (0.54 proportion) of the people in the treatment group recovered fully, while 41% (0.41 proportion) of the people in the control group recovered fully. There were 120 people in each group. The standard error of the difference in means, measured as proportions rather than percentages, was 0.09....

Discuss the following statements and explain why they are true or false. (a) Increasing the number of predictor variables will never decrease the R2. (b) Multicollinearity affects the interpretation of the regression coefficients. (c) The variance inflation factor of ˆ βj depends on the R2 of the regression of the response variable y on the predictor variable xj. (d) A high leverage point is always highly influential. (e) All criteria for the selection of the best regression equation lead to...

Please state true false or Uncertain. Please explain in 3 or more sentences on why you choose it: 1) A central bank that targets inflation would conduct an expansionary monetary policy when faced with a recessionary gap. 2)If the policy response discussed in A6-7 is mistimed, it risks becoming pro-cyclical rather than stabilizing.

Section 1: True/False, & explain why three or more sentences: 2. In the regression model Yi = β0 + β1Xi + β2Di + β3(Xi × Di) + ui, where X is a continuous variable and D is a binary variable, β3 has no meaning since (Xi×Di) = 0 when Di= 0.

linear algebra problem
1. True or False. If true, explain why. If false provide a counterexample. . If A? - B2, then A - B (you can assume that A and B have the same size). • If columns 1 and 3 of B are the same, so are columns 1 and 3 of AB. • If rows 1 and 3 of B are the same, so are rows 1 and 3 of AB. • (AB) - A’B?

Determine whether each of the following statements is true or false, and explain why in a few sentences 1. A critical number c is a number in the domain of a function f for which f ′ ( c ) = 0 or f ′ ( c ) does not exist. 2. If f ′ ( c ) > 0 on an interval, the function is positive on that interval. 3. If c is a critical number, then the function...

True false or uncertain and explain in 3 sentences why? 1)An increase in world supply of crude oil will (at some point) lead to a decrease in the price of plastic. [Hint: Crude oil byproducts are an input to the production of plastic.] 2)The measured unemployment rate can only decrease if some of those unemployed get jobs and become counted as employed. 3)If the CPI increases from 150 to 153, the inflation rate is 2%. So if your savings account...

For the questions below, answer either true or false. If you answer true, explain why it is true. If you answer false, give a counter-example. In all three examples you may assume demand slopes downward and supply slopes upward (that is, neither curve is either perfectly vertical or horizontal), and that both curves are smooth (like they are in the rent control questions, not discrete like they were in homework 2). A. In the simple model of supply and demand...
