There are important applications in which due to known scientific constraints, the Problem 5 of 5 regression line must also go through origin (i.e. the intercept must be zero). In other words, the model should read Y Bai,i 1,2,.,n This model is often called the regression through the origin model. Assuming that e's are independent with distribution N(0, o2) (a) Show that the least squares estimator of the slope is ΣL Υ B = Σ (b) Show that B in...

Which of the following statements is true? (a) If the calculated value of F statistic is higher than the critical value, we reject the alternative hypothesis in favor of the null hypothesis. (b) The F statistic is always nonnegative as SSR, is never smaller than SSRur. (C) Degrees of freedom of a restricted model is always less than the de- grees of freedom of an unre- stricted model. (d) The F statistic is more flexible than the t statistic to...

2. Suppose we have the simple regression model Y =a+8X:+E, and their OLS coefficient estimators a and b. Answer the following questions. (a) Suppose we multiply X, by 1/2 for all i and do the OLS estimation again using X as the regressor (the independent variable). What will be your new estimators, denoted by ă (intercept) and b (slope)? Compare them with the original OLS estimators a and b, respectively (b) Compare Var[b] and Var[b]. Are they the same or...

1. Which of the following conditions will lead to a smaller variance for the intercept estimator for your multiple regression model? (A) X values cluster far from the origin of the X axis (B) X values closely pack around the mean of X in your sample (C) Small sample sizes (D) High correlation among the explanatory variables (E) Small error variance in the population regression function 2. R-squared (A) measures the proportion of variability of the dependent variable that is...

1. In the simple regression model y = + β1x + u, suppose that E (u) 0. Letting oo-E(u), show that the model can always be rewrit ten with the same slope, but a new intercept and error, where the new error has a zero expected value 2. The data set BWGHT contains data on births to women in the United States. Two variables of interest are the dependent variable, nfan birth weight in ounces (bught), and an explanatory variable,...

QUESTION 1 Consider the following OLS regression line (or sample regression function): wage =-2.10+ 0.50 educ (1), where wage is hourly wage, measured in dollars, and educ years of formal education. According to (1), a person with no education has a predicted hourly wage of [wagehat] dollars. (NOTE: Write your answer in number format, with 2 decimal places of precision level; do not write your answer as a fraction. Add a leading minus sign symbol, a leading zero and trailing...

Question 1 Consider the simple regression model (only one covariate): y= BoB1 u Let B1 be the OLS estimator of B1. a) What are the six assumptions needed for B1 to be unbiased, have a simple expression for its variance, and have normal distribution?

(3 points) In lecture we described how to test the null hypothesis B1 bo against the alternative hypothesis B1 bo, where...

Decide (with short explanations) whether the following statements are true or false a) We consider the model y-Ao +A(z) +E. Let (-0.01, 1.5) be a 95% confidence interval for A In this case, a t-test with significance level 1% rejects the null hypothesis Ho : A-0 against a two sided alternative. b) Complicated models with a lot of parameters are better for prediction then simple models with just a few parameters c)...
