1 Erling Brg SOS3003 Applid statistical data analysis for th social scincs 10 dsmbr EXAMINATION QUESTION SVSOS3003 Fall 2004 Som suggstions for answring th qustions Erling Brg Dpartmnt of sociology and political scinc, Norwgian Univrsity of Scinc and Tchnology Rad m In trying to answr th qustions at th xaminations it should b kpt in mind that th qustions oftn ar problmatic in rlation to th modl rquirmnt of bing basd on th bst availabl thory. Th lack of thortical foundation can b dfndd on two accounts. Most important is simply a lack of tim and suitabl data for construction of th ralistic xamination qustions w want. But if it is takn for grantd that th qustions sldom ar wll groundd in thory, this will of cours furnish th studnts will good argumnts in th ffort to critically valuat th spcification rquirmnt of th modls. As you rad th suggstions for answrs prsntd hr it is important to undrstand that it is not th only way of answring th qustions. Most qustions can b answrd in many ways. Evn if th tchnical qustions hav prcis answrs, th many valuations ncssary (.g. Is th distribution of th rsiduals clos nough to th normal distribution for th tsts to b blivabl? ) ar prcisly valuations. And for th valuation, th argumnts for or against ar th ssntial parts of th answr. During th xaminations tim is scarc. Fw ar abl to answr xhaustivly on all qustions. In this not on th answrs to th qustions thr has bn don much mor than w xpct to find at th xamination. Som sctions contain mor dtails of computation or stuff that may b rlvant or rlatd to th qustion askd, but not ncssary to answr th qustion. Howvr, th lvl of dtail and additions varis. I hav to warn against prsntation of rrors and rash conclusions. This author has as much capacity to rr as othr popl. Critical rading by studnts and collagus is th bst quality control thr is. Anyon finding an rror or thinking som othr valuation mor appropriat is ncouragd to writ m, for xampl by -mail: Erling.Brg@svt.ntnu.no, I will apprciat that. Erling Brg 2004

To dfin a modl thr ar thr typs of lmnts that nd to b considrd: 1. Dfinitions of th lmnts of th modl (variabls, rror trm, population and sampl) 2. Dfinitions of th rlationships among th lmnts of th modl (th quation linking variabls and rror trm, th sampling procdur linking sampl and population, thoris and tim squncs of vnts and obsrvations linking causs and ffcts) 3. Dfinitions of th assumptions that hav to b mt in ordr to us a particular mthod (such as th OLS mthod for linar rgrssion) for stimating th modl (modl spcification, distribution and proprtis of th rror trm) At a minimum th formulation will includ variabl dfinitions, th formula linking variabls and rror trm, and th assumptions ndd to mak valid infrncs from th stimats of a particular procdur. For th prsnt problm w ar told that data com from a random sampl from th Norwgian population usd by th Europan Social Survy in thir 2002 invstigation of th rlations btwn institutional conditions and th attituds,

Basd on ths data th following variabls hav bn dfind: Y Trustindx Rgion in Norway X 1 HdmarkOppland X 2 SouthEast X 3 AgdrRogaland X 4 WstNorway X 5 Trondlag X 6 NorthNorway Ag X 7 Ag in yars Ag X 11 Ag in yars squard Ag2 X 8 Fmal Education X 9 Education in yars Educ X 14 Education in yars squard Educ2 X 10 Numbr of houshold mmbrs NoHHmmbrs Intraction trms X 12 Fmal by ag FmalAg X 13 Fmal by ag squard FmalAg2 X 15 Fmal by ducation FmalEduc X 16 Fmal by ducation squard FmalEduc2 Sinc modls 5 and 6 ar not improvmnts on modl 4, th variabls X 14, X 15, and X 16 ar irrlvant and will not b considrd furthr. Th main objctiv of th modl is to invstigat th rgional variations in trust as masurd by th Trustindx. If thr in th Norwgian population is a linar or curvilinar rlationship btwn th Trustindx and th dfind indpndnt variabls w can writ th quation linking th variabls by Y i = X 1i + 2 X 2i + 3 X 3i + 4 X 4i + 5 X 5i + 6 X 6i + 7 X 7i + 8 X 8i + 9 X 9i + 10 X 10i + 11 X 11i + 12 X 12i + 13 X 13i + i.

Th quation for th modl can also b writtn y i = E[y i ] + i whr E[y i ] = x 1i + 2 x 2i + 3 x 3i x 13i (For E[y i ] rad xpctd valu of y i ) In Norway, 2036 prsons wr intrviwd. A total of 34 prsons hav missing on on or mor of th variabls of th modl and wr rmovd. Sinc nothing mor is indicatd it must b assumd thy wr rmovd by listwis dltion. Only 2 wr missing on th dpndnt variabl, 32 wr missing on ducation. This lft 2002 for th analysis. Thr ar no indications that th missing cass ar nonrandom in rlation to th dpndnt variabl. Assuming that thy ar missing at random (MAR), listwis dltion is a propr procdur as long as it lavs nough cass to prform th analysis. Th Trustindx is a gnralizd masur of th confidnc a prsons puts in his or hr fllow mn. Attituds as xprssd in an intrviw situation ar prsumd to b basd on mor basic valus shapd by socialization and accumulation of xprincs within th social positions ach individual hav occupid. It is usually assumd that rgion will b a proxy for variations in such socialization and accumulatd xprincs. By th sam rasoning it is also xpctd that ag, gndr and ducation will affct th gnral lvl of trust. It is also possibl that th siz of th houshold might affct this variabl. An OLS stimat of th modl paramtrs dfind abov can b stimatd as th b- valus of ŷ i = b 0 + b 1 x 1i + b 2 x 2i + b 3 x 3i b 13 x 13i that minimizs th sum of squard rsiduals, RSS = i (y i - ŷ i ) 2 2 = i i (For ŷ i rad stimatd or prdictd valu of y i or just y-hat.) OLS stimats will b unbiasd and fficint with a known sampling distribution if th following assumptions ar tru: I: Th modl is corrct, that is All rlvant variabls ar includd No irrlvant variabls ar includd Th modl is linar in th paramtrs II: Th Gauss-Markov rquirmnts for Bst Linar Unbiasd Estimats (BLUE) Fixd x-valus (no random componnt in thir masurmnt)

Th ag ffct among womn is vry clos to linar whil it is curvilinar for mn. Looking back at th formula it is sn that th FmalAg2 cofficint narly cancls th Ag2 cofficint for mn giving ag a linar ffct for womn.

Th assumptions that hav to b mt hav bn statd abov. Th first of th rquirmnts, th spcification of th modl, cannot b invstigatd byond stating that thr ar no irrlvant variabls in th modl and that it is linar in its paramtrs. Th Gauss-Markov rquirmnts of fixd x-valus and an xpctd valu of 0 for th rror trms cannot b tstd. For th rquirmnts of homoscdasticity and no autocorrlation thr ar tsts. Th sampl is assumd to b a simpl random sampl of th Norwgian population. In such sampls autocorrlation will not occur. Homoscdasticity can b valuatd in a scattr plot of rsidual against prdictd valu: 4, , Unstandardizd Rsidual 0, , , , ,00000 Loss Lin (20% of th points) and idntification numbr addd 5, , , , , ,00000 Unstandardizd Prdictd Valu

Th distribution of th rsidual is slightly skwd. Th loss lin addd to th plot dips down a bit at th uppr valus of prdictd y possibly indicating a low lvl of htroscdasticity. Both of ths problms may b rlatd to outlirs such as th cass 2604, 2563, and Th assumption of normally distributd rrors rquirs a symmtrical distribution of th rsiduals. From th scattr plot abov w s that is not th cas.

H1 is thn tstd by comparing th Modl of block 5 to th modl stimatd in block 4. Th tst statistic is 2 H = -2{log L K-H - log L K } In this tst H=2, K=16, -2log L K = 2302,313, and -2log L K-H = 2306,050 This mans that 2 H = 2306, ,313 = 3,737. Th critical valu of th Chisquar distribution with 2 dgrs of frdom and a lvl of significanc 5% is Th two trms with ag squard do not add significantly to th modl.
16 16 Erling Brg SOS3003 Applid statistical data analysis for th social scincs 10 dsmbr 2004 Hnc w hav to rjct th H1 hypothsis and conclud that ag is linarly rlatd to y. Th sam rsult follows from th omnibus tst of Block 5. Th tst statistic of block 5 in th omnibus tst of modl cofficints is Th p-valu is givn as and with a significanc lvl of th tst of 0.05 w hav to rjct H1. H2 is tstd by including an intraction trm btwn ag and sx in th modl. But sinc sx also is includd in an intraction trm with ducation, th lvl of multicollinarity will incras and t-tsts of th significanc of th intraction trm alon will not b prcis nough. Th two variabls Ag and FmalAg includd in block 4 ar significant togthr sinc 2 H = -2{log L K-H - log L K } = 2328, ,050 = 22,414 is largr than th critical lvl for 2 dgrs of frdom (H=2). Hnc w hav to rjct a null hypothsis of no impact of Ag and FmalAg. Again, th sam rsult follows from th omnibus tst of Block 4. Until furthr invstigations show othrwis w accpt H2. b) Basd on modl 4 writ up th quation dtrmining th rlationship btwn dpndnt and indpndnt variabls in th population studid and prsnt th assumptions that hav to b mt to draw valid infrncs from th stimatd rlationships In th population invstigatd thr is assumd to b a logistic rlationship btwn th probability of a valu of 1 on th dpndnt variabl Y and th indpndnt X-variabls.
