1 Sectn 3 Inference n Smple Regressn Havng derved the prbablty dstrbutn f the OLS ceffcents under assumptns SR SR5, we are nw n a pstn t make nferental statements abut the ppulatn parameters: hypthess tests and cnfdence ntervals. (Cnfdence) Interval estmatrs What a cnfdence nterval means: The cnfdence lmts are randm varables, the parameter s nt. Under the assumptns we have made abut the mdel, 95% f the tme ur (randm) cnfdence nterval wll nclude the actual parameter value. Cnfdence nterval s a par f randm varables l and u such that Pr.95 r anther specfed cnfdence level. l Under ur assumptns, b ~, u Ths s true always f SR6 (nrmalty) s satsfed It s true asympttcally f SR6 s nt vald but the actual dstrbutn f e has fnte furth mments If we knw then we can cnvert b t a standard nrmal varable by subtractng ts epected value and dvdng by ts standard devatn: Z b / ~, Frm prpertes f standard nrmal, we knw that Z Wth a lttle algebra: b Pr / Pr Pr.96 / b.96 /.95 Pr b.96 / b.96 /.95. Ths s the 95% nterval estmate (usually called a cnfdence nterval) fr. ~ 3 ~

2 We can t use the frmula abve unless we knw, whch we nrmally dn t. If we replace by s, then b fllws a t dstrbutn wth degrees f freedm rather than the nrmal dstrbutn. b b t ~ t se.. b s / If t c s the 5% tw-taled crtcal value fr ths t dstrbutn, then Pr b t se.. b b t se.. b.95 c c Eplan hw t fnd the crtcal value, bth theretcally and n the tables. Stata (and sme ther packages) prnts ut these cnfdence lmts based n assumptns SR SR5. Hypthess tests abut sngle ceffcents The mst cmmn test n ecnmetrcs s the t-test f the hypthess that a sngle ceffcent equals zer. Ths test s prnted ut fr each regressn ceffcent n Stata and ther statstcal packages. Dependng n the assumptns f the mdel (and whether they are vald), the tstatstc may r may nt fllw Student s t dstrbutn. bk c General frm fr calculatng a t-statstc s t, where c s the hypthetcal value s.e.bk (usually zer) that we are testng aganst and s.e. s the standard errr f the ceffcent estmatr b k. Ths test statstc s useful because we knw ts dstrbutn under the null hypthess that k = c. Thus we can determne hw lkely r unlkely t s that we wuld bserve the current sample f the null hypthess s true. Ths allws us t cntrl the Type I errr at sgnfcance level. Usng the t-statstc t test H : k = c aganst the tw-sded alternatve H : k c te that hypthess t be tested s always epressed n terms f the actual ceffcent, nt the estmated ne. Use the frmula abve t calculate the t statstc. (Stata wll prnt ut b and ts standard errr, and als the t value crrespndng t c =.) If the abslute value f the calculated t value s greater than the crtcal value, then reject the null. D eample ncludng lkng up crtcal value. ~ 3 ~

3 Alternatvely, we can cmpute the prbablty (p) value asscated wth the test: the prbablty that an utcme at least ths ncnsstent wth the null hypthess wuld ccur f the null s ndeed true. act p Pr H b c b c act b c b c PrH, where the act refers t the actual se.. b se.. b act Pr t t. H bserved/calculated value If we knw the dstrbutn f the t statstc, then we can calculate the last prbablty frm tables. Under assumptns SR SR5, the t statstc wll be asympttcally nrmal. Wth SR6 t s t wth degrees f freedm n small samples. Stata calculates the p value asscated wth the null hypthess = usng the t dstrbutn Shw dagram crrespndng t HGL s Fgure 3. n page 3: Fr gven t, shw hw t calculate p value. On same dagram shw crtcal values fr test at gven level f sgnfcance, and hw t decde the result f the test te.96 as tw-taled 5% crtcal value fr nrmal dstrbutn. Then shw the symmetry: the p value s the smallest sgnfcance level at whch the null hypthess can be rejected. One-taled test such as H : = c, H : < c. (Or H : c) Same basc prcedure, but n ths case we cncentrate the entre rejectn regn n ne tal f the dstrbutn. We reject the null f and nly f Pr[t < t act ] < crtcal value (gnrng rght tal f dstrbutn) and fal t reject fr any pstve t value n matter hw large. Other drectn f H s > c: Fal t reject null fr any negatve value f t and reject when Pr[t < t act ] > crtcal value. Present sme eamples f regressns and practce wth tests f = and = ther values.

7 If we add r subtract a cnstant frm etherr r y, all that s affected s the ntercept term b. Snce we are nt usually very nterested n the value f the ntercept, ths s usually meanngless. If we multply by a cnstant, the slpe estmate b wll be dvded by the same cnstant, as wll ts standard errr, leavng the t statstc unchanged. The estmated nterceptt s unchanged, as are thee resduals, SEE, and R. If we multply y by a cnstant, the slpe and ntercept estmates wll bth be multpled by the same cnstant, as wll ther standard errrs (leavng the t statstcs unchanged) and the SEE. ne f these transfrmatns has any effect n R. nlnear mdels We can easly replace ether r y wth pwers r lgs f the rgnal varables wthut cmplcatng the estmatn.

If ncreases by z%, ths means t s + z/ tmes as large, whch means that ts lg s ln + ln( + z/). If z s small (say, less that %) then the apprmatn s reasnable clse.

Change f z unts n changes ln y by z unts, s t changes y by abut z percent. The same apprmatn ssues apples here. The ncrease f unts n ln y means that y ncreases by a factr f e z, whch s apprmately + z fr small values f z.

Partal effect s cnstant n elastcty terms, but vares wth y and n level terms. Whch lg mdel t chse? Thery vs. let data decde? Thery may suggest that percentage changes are mre mprtant than abslute changes fr ne r bth varables. Incme s ften lgged f we thnk that a dublng f ncme frm $5, t $, wuld be asscated wth the same change n ther varables as a dublng frm $, t $, (rather than half as much). As suggested by the prevus eample, lggng a varable scales dwn etreme values. If mst f the sample varatn s between $, and $, (wth mean $5, and standard devatn $3,), but yu have a few values f $5, fr ncme, these are gng t be 5 standard devatns abve the mean n level terms but much less n lg terms. The lg f 5, s nly ln()=.3 unts larger than the lg f 5,. The standard devatn f the lg wuld prbably be n the range f.6 r s, s the hghly devant bservatns wuld be less than 4 standard devatns abve the mean nstead f 5. Snce we ften want ur varables t be nrmally dstrbuted, we mght try t decde whether the varable s mre lkely t be nrmally r lgnrmally dstrbuted. ~ 4 ~

In the nn-nrmal case, we can use a smple regressn t calculate the apprprate adjustment factr: ln y Run a regressn f y e, whch s a bvarate regressn wthut a cnstant term. Then adjust the predctns t get yˆ c ln y ˆe, whch, fr the sample bservatns, are just the predcted values frm the aulary regressn.
