Please explain what the assumption of Cov(x,u)=0 means and why it is so important for regression to return unbiased estimates of the relationship of interest.
Let us first understand the assumption of Cov(x,u)=0
Assumptions :
Let us do by making a simple assumption about the error
The average value of u, the error term, in the population is 0 that is E(u)=0
This is not a restrictive assumption, since we can always use to normalize E(u) to 0
e.g. use to normalize average ability to zero
We have to assume that the average value of u does not depend on the value of x
x and u are independent, that is
We need some way of estimating the true relationship using the sample data
We Can do this using some of our assumptions First we need to realize that our main assumption of E(u|x) = E(u) = 0
also implies Cov(x,u) = E(xu) = 0
because From basic probability we know that: Cov(x,u) = E(xu) – E(x)E(u)
given E(u)=0 (by assumption) and Cov(x,u)=0 (by same assumption plus independence) then E(xu)=0
Please explain what the assumption of Cov(x,u)=0 means and why it is so important for regression ...
True or False: Given the necessary assumption: E(u|X) = 0, β ̂ is a random variable with a distribution centered at 0. Given the necessary assumption: E(u|X) =0, β ̂ is a random variable with a distribution centered at β. Adding more independent variables to a model will only increase R2 if they provide meaningful variation. Adj R2 measures the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable that has been explained by the variation in the independent variable. If...
Explain why could or couldn't agree with each of the statements a) Cov(y,x) and Cor(y,x) can take value between -infinity and +infinity b)If Cov(y,x)=0 or Cor(y,x)=0 one can conclude that there is no relationship between Y and X c)the least square line fitted to the points in the scatter plot of y versus has a zero intercept and a unit slope
5. Consider the following regression: where EUX] = 0 (remember that this is a stronger assumption than our usual assumption that EIXU-0). Suppose Y is binary. (a) What is PY 1X? (b) What is Var[U|X]? Is it reasonable to assume that U is homoskedastic? (c) Is it possible for the fitted value of Y to lie outside [0, 1]?
Q1 a) Explain what it means that the ordinary least squares regression estimator is a linear estimator, paying specific attention to how it implies independent variables interact with each other. b) Give two examples of models where the parameters of interest cannot be directly estimated using OLS regression because of nonlinear relationships between them. c) What is the minimum set of conditions necessary for the OLS estimator to be the most efficient unbiased estimator (BLUE) of a parameter? List each...

The correct answer is A Please explain Which of the following statements is incorrect about the regression y = Be + Bix +u, if we assume E(ulx) = 0? A. The OLS estimates of ßo and ß1 are inconsistent. B. The OLS estimates of Bo and ß1 are unbiased. C. Bias(31)=E(8) -3. D.
