Regression analysis • OLS • Regression parameter • St. error • T-value • P-value • Confidence interval • R-sq. adj • F-value • The error term Ulf H. Olsson
Regression Analysis • The error term has constant variance • The x-variables are independent of the error term • The error term follows a • The x-variables are normal distribution with linearly independent expectation equal to • The dependent variable zero is normally distributed Ulf H. Olsson
Classical Assumptions • Y is stochastic, x 1, x 2, …. , xk are not • Linearity in the parameters • The error term has const. variance • The error term is norm. Distributed with expectation equal to zero • The error terms are independent • The x-variables are linearly independent Ulf H. Olsson
GAUSS-MARKOV • OLS is BLUE given the Classical Assumptions • B = Best • L=Linear • U=Unbiased • E=Estimator Ulf H. Olsson
Econometric Model • Klein’s Model (1950) Ulf H. Olsson
