READING 8: MULTIPLE REGRESSION AND ISSUES IN REGRESSION ANALYSIS
Lets return to LOS 8b: p-values MODULE 8.2: HYPOTHESIS TESTS AND CONFIDENCE INTERVALS
EXAMPLE: Testing regression coefficients (one-tail test): Using the data from Figure 8.2, test: Ho: intercept term ≥ –10.0% | Ha < –10.0% at 1% SL.
The 1% one-tailed critical t-value with 46 − 2 − 1 = 43 df = 2.42.
Decision rule: Reject Ho if t-statistic <–2.42.
> -2.42; So? We cannot reject Ho!
LOS 8.e: Calculate and interpret 1) a confidence interval for the population value of a regression coefficient and 2) a predicted
value for the dependent variable, given an estimated regression model and assumed values for the independent variables.
Confidence Intervals for a Regression Coefficient
Done same way as for simple linear regression., for say 95% SL
