Content
- Regression analysis
o Bivariate regression analysis (2 variables, 1 variable is used to explain another)
o Multivariate regression analysis (multiple variables are used to explain 1 other
variable)
o Ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation: properties and assumptions
Terminology
Inference: using the random sample n to say something about the population N
2
,Beta0: constant/intercept & beta1: slope of the line
Ordinary Least Squares
An illustration of OLS
Residuals: all points that are not on the line, and their distances from the lines
We take the square because the otherwise their would be a difference in positive and
negative residuals
3
, Multivariate regression analysis
We can still use OLS to calculate the unknown
Why use multiple regression?
- Interested in partial: holding variable 1 constant (ceteris parabus), what is the effect
of the other variable on Y?
