Lear Regresso wth Oe Regressor AIM QA.7. Expla how regresso aalyss ecoometrcs measures the relatoshp betwee depedet ad depedet varables. A regresso aalyss has the goal of measurg how chages oe varable, called a depedet or explaed varable ca be explaed by chages oe or more other varables called the depedet or explaatory varables. The regresso aalyss measures the relatoshp by estmatg a equato (e.g., lear regresso model). The parameters of the equato dcate the relatoshp. AIM QA.7.2 Iterpret a populato regresso fucto, regresso coeffcets, parameters, slope, tercept, ad the error term. The geeral form of the lear regresso model s: Y β 0 +β X +ε Where The subscrpt rus over observatos,,, ; Y s the depedet varable, the regressad, or smply the left-had varable; X s the depedet varable, the regressor, or smply the rght-had varable; β 0 +β X s the populato regresso le or populato regresso fucto; β 0 s the tercept of the populato regresso le (represets the value of Y f X s zero); β s the slope of the populato regresso le (measures the chage Y for a oe ut chage X); ad ε s the error term or ose compoet; ts expected value s zero.

The geeral form of the sample regresso fucto s: Where Yˆ b 0 +b X +e The sample regresso coeffcets are b 0 ad b, whch are the tercept ad slope. ˆ The e s called the resdual ( ): e Y - b 0 +b X Sample statstcs (b 0 +b ) are computed as estmates of the parameters β 0 ad β AIM QA.7.4 Descrbe the key propertes of a lear regresso. The Assumptos of the classcal ormal lear regresso model are:. A lear relato exsts betwee the depedet varable ad the depedet varable 2. The depedet varable s ucorrelated wth the error terms 3.
