1 5.1 Basic Estimation Techniques  The relationships we theoretically develop in the text can be estimated statistically using regression analysis,  Regression analysis is a method used to determine the coefficients of a a functional relationship.  For example, if demand is P = a+bQ We need to estimate a and b.

2 5.2 Ordinary Least Squares(OLS)  Means to determine regression equation that “best” fits data  Goal is to select the line(proper intercept & slope) that minimizes the sum of the squared vertical deviations  Minimize  e i 2 which is equivalent to minimizing  (Y i -(Y-hat) i ) 2

3 5.3 Standard Error of the Estimate  Measures variability about the regression equation  Labeled SEE  If SEE = 0 all points are on line and fit is perfect

4 5.4 Standard Error of the Slope  Measures theoretical variability in estimated slope - different datasets(samples) would yield different slopes

5 5.5 Variability in the Dependent Variable  The sum of squares of Y about its mean value is representative of the total variation in Y

6 5.6 Variability in the Dependent Variable  The sum of squares of Y about the regression line(Y-hat) is representative of the “unexplained” or residual variation in Y

7 5.7 Variability in the Dependent Variable  The sum of squares of Y-hat about Y-bar is representative of the “explained” variation in Y

8 5.8 Variability in the Dependent Variable  Note, TSS = ESS + RSS  If all data points are on the regression line, RSS=0 and TSS=ESS  If the regression line is horizontal, slope = 0, ESS=0 and TSS=RSS  The better the fit of the regression line to the data, the smaller is RSS

9 5.9 Describing Overall Fit - R 2  The coefficient of determination is the ratio of the “explained” sum of squares to the total sum of squares

10 5.10 Coefficient of Determination  R 2 yields the percentage of variability in Y that is explained by the regression equation  It ranges between 0 and 1  What is true if R 2 = 1?  What is true if R 2 = 0?

11 5.11 Statistical Inference  Drawing conclusions about the population based on sample information.  Hypothesis Testing –which independent variables are significant? –Is the model significant?  Estimation - point versus interval –what is the rate of change in Y per X? –what is the expected value of Y based on X

12 5.12 Errors in Hypotheses Testing  Type I error - rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true  Type II error - accepting the null hypothesis when it is false  Will never eliminate the possibility of error - but can control their likelihood

13 5.13 Structuring the Null and Alternative Hypotheses  The null hypothesis is often the reverse of what theory or logic suggest the researcher believes; it is structured to allow the data to contradict it. In the model on the effect of price on quantity demanded, the researcher would expect price to inversely impact amount purchased. Thus, the null might be that price does not effect quantity demanded or it effects it in a positive direction.

14 5.14 Structuring the Null and Alternative Hypotheses  Model: Q A =B 0 +B 1 P A +B 2 Inc+B 3 P B +  –Q A = quantity demanded of good A –P A = price of good A –Inc = Income –P B = price of good B  H 0 : B 1  0  H A : B 1 < 0 Law of Demand expectation

15 5.15 H 0 :  1 = 0 Do Not Reject Reject  /2

16 5.16 H 0 :  1  0  Reject Do Not Reject

17 5.17 H 0 :  1  0 Do Not Reject Reject 

18 5.18 The t-Test for the Slope  We can test the significance of an independent variable by testing the following H 0 :  k = 0 k = 1,2,….K H A :  k  0  Note if  k = 0 a change in the kth independent variable has no impact on Y

19 5.19 The t-Test for the Slope  The test statistic is

20 5.20 T-Test Decision Rule  The critical t-value, t c, is the value that defines the boundary line separating the rejection from the do not reject region.  For a 2-tailed test if |t k | > t c, reject the null; otherwise do not reject  For a 1-tailed test if |t k | > t c and if t c has the sign implied by H A, reject the null; otherwise do not reject

21 5.21 F-Test and ANOVA  F-Test is used to test the overall significance of the regression or model  Analysis of Variance = ANOVA  ANOVA is based on the components of the variation in Y previously discussed - TSS, ESS, and RSS

22 5.22 ANOVA Table

23 5.23 F-Statistic

24 5.24 Hypotheses for F-Test  H 0 :  1 =  2 =…..=  K =0 H A : H 0 is not true  Note the null suggests that all slopes are simultaneously zero and that the model would NOT be significant, ie. no independent variables are significant

25 5.25 Decision Rule for F-Test  If F > F c, reject the null that the model is insignificant. Note this likely to be good news - your model appears “good”  Otherwise do not reject

28 5.28 Log_linear Model  Constant percentage change in dependent variable in response to a 1 percent change in an independent variable  no change in direction

29 5.29 Double-Log Model  Taking logs of the exponential equation yields (note this is linear in the logs)

30 5.30 Elasticity for Double Log Model  The elasticity of Y with respect to X or Z for a double- log model is merely the regression coefficient or b-hat or c-hat  Thus, in a double-log model the elasticities are constant and are merely equal to the estimated regression coefficients(partial slopes).
