1 F3: Classical normal linear rgression model distribution, interval estimation and hypothesis testing Feng Li Department of Statistics, Stockholm University

2 What we have learned last time... 1 Estimating ˆβ 1 and ˆβ and find their variance via OLS. The properties of OLS (have you done the assignments?). 3 The assumptions of linear model. Are they realistic? 4 The measurement of goodness fit. 5 Remember to use the correct notations: 1 The population regression function: Y i = β 1 + β X i + u i We estimate it from sample regression function: Y i = ˆβ 1 + ˆβ X i + û i 3 And the estimated value of Y i : Ŷ i = ˆβ 1 + ˆβ X i Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics / 14

3 Today we are going to learn... 1 Normal assumptions of u i Confidence Intervals for regression coefficients β 1 and β 3 Confidence Intervals for σ 4 Hypothesis testing 5 Predictions 6 Normality tests of residuals Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 3 / 14

4 Normal assumptions of u i 1 The classical normal linear regression model assumes each u i is distributed normally with E(u i ) =0 Var(u i ) =E(u i E(u i )) = σ cov(u i, u j ) =E[(u i E(u i ))(u j E(u j ))] = E(u i, u j ) = 0, i j. We write u i N(0, σ ) for short. 3 Why normal? 1 Simple. Central limit theorem. Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 4 / 14

5 The properties under normal assumptions of u i 1 The estimators are unbiased, i.e., E(ˆβ 1 ) = β 1, E(ˆβ ) = β see Appendix 3A. The variance of the estimators (F, p.14) are minimal. 3 The estimators of the parameters also follows normal distribution (suppose σ is known). ř X ˆβ 1 N(β 1, i n ř x σ 1 ), ˆβ N(β, ř i x σ ). i 4 Recall that σ is not known and replaced with its estimator ˆσ = 5 ˆβ 1 is independent of ˆσ, so does ˆβ. (n ) ˆσ σ χ (n ). ř û i n, and Summary: The least estimators ˆβ 1 and ˆβ are best unbiased estimators(bue) in the entire class of unbiased estimators. Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 5 / 14

6 Confidence Intervals for regression coefficients 1 ˆβ i β i se( ˆβ i ) N(0, 1) for i = 1, when σ is known which is rare. ˆβ i β i se( ˆβ i ) t(n ) when σ is replaced by ˆσ. 1 Given α/ level of significance, [ Pr t α/ ď ˆβ i β i se(ˆβ i ) ď t α/ ] = 1 α which provides 100(1 α) percent confidence interval for β i ] Pr [ˆβ i t α/ se(ˆβ i ) ď β i ď ˆβ i + t α/ se(ˆβ i ) = 1 α or simply ˆβ i t α/ se(ˆβ i ). The interpretation: Right way: Given the confidence coefficient of 1 α, 100(1 α) out of 100 cases the interval will contain the true β i Wrong way: The probability of β i falling into the interval is 100(1 α). Note: The probability of β i falling into the interval is either 0 or 1. Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 6 / 14

7 Confidence Intervals for σ 1 Given α/ level of significance, ] ˆσ Pr [χ 1 α/ ď (n ) σ ď χ α/ = 1 α which provides 100(1 α) percent confidence interval for σ Pr [ (n ) ˆσ χ α/ ď σ ď (n ) Remember that χ is always positive and skewed. ˆσ χ 1 α/ ] = 1 α Exercise Table 3.: Construct the confidence intervals for β and σ. Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 7 / 14

8 The significance of coefficients: the t test 1 Significant of a statistic: If the value of the test statistic lies in the critical region. Significance testing: Find the critical region 3 Procedures: 1 Write down the null hypothesis (H 0 ) and alternative hypothesis (H a ) Calculate the test statistic e.g., t = (ˆβ β )/se(ˆβ ) 3 Look up the table and find the critical value 4 Make decision. 4 One-side test vs two-sided test Table Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 8 / 14

9 The significance of σ : the χ test 1 The testing purpose: if σ = σ 0 or not. The decision rule. Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 9 / 14

10 The ANOVA table for the two-variable regression model 1 We arrange the sums of squares in the following table (aka ANOVA table.) Then we consider ESS/df ESS ˆβ ř x = ř i F(1, n ) RSS/df RSS û i /(n ) which can be used to test the overall significance of the model. In particular the null hypothesis of β = 0 can also be tested (How?). Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 10 / 14

11 Predictions 1 Mean predictions: Predict Y 0 given X 0 which is from the observations. 1 [ 1 var(ŷ 0 ) = σ n + (X ] 0 X) ř x i t = Ŷ0 (β 1 + β X 0 ) se(ŷ 0 ) Individual prediction: Predict Y 0 given X 0 which is not from the observations. 1 [ var(y 0 Ŷ 0 ) = σ n + (X ] 0 X) ř x i t = Y 0 Ŷ 0 se(y 0 Ŷ 0 ) Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 11 / 14

13 Normality tests of residuals 1 Histogram of residuals Anderson Darling test: H 0 : the variable is normal distributed. 3 Jarque-Bera test: H 0 : the variable is normal distributed (skewness(s)=0, kurtosis(k)=3). test statistic: JB = n[s /6 + (K 3) /4] Feng Li (Stockholm University) Econometrics 13 / 14

Motivation for multiple regression

Motivation for multiple regression Motivation for multiple regression 1. Simple regression puts all factors other than X in u, and treats them as unobserved. Effectively the simple regression does not account for other factors. 2. The slope
