Omit price from the regression equation and observe the bias introduced into the parameter estimate for income. 4. Now omit both price and temperature from the regression equation. Should a marketing plan for soft drinks be designed that relocates most canned drink machines into low income neighborhoods? Why or Why not? DATA SET 2 The data are the

variance are independent then the two lines will cut each other at a right angle. In this case the two lines will be ║to x and y axis. The Graph is given below:- We restrict our discussion to linear relationships only that is the equations to be considered are 1- y=a+bx 2- x=a+by In equation first x is called the independent variable and y the dependent variable. Conditional on the x

the size of a human brain reaches a maximum or minimum. The goal was to chart previous data collected by experts to support my hypothesis as well as predict and test the size of human brains in the future if the trend continued and develop a linear equation to represent the findings. I began by collecting 12 points of data of

Invertible matrix 1 Invertible matrix In linear algebra an n-by-n (square) matrix A is called invertible or nonsingular or nondegenerate‚ if there exists an n-by-n matrix B such that where I n denotes the n-by-n identity matrix and the multiplication used is ordinary matrix multiplication. If this is the case‚ then the matrix B is uniquely determined by A and is called the inverse of A‚ denoted by A −1 . It follows from the theory of matrices that if for finite square matrices A and B

to use the law of iterated expectations in proving the BLUE. With Assumptions (B)‚ the BLUE is given conditionally on Let us use Assumptions (A). The Gauss-Markov Theorem is stated below Under Assumptions (A)‚ the OLS estimators‚ are the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE)‚ that is 1. Unbias : 2. Best : Real data seldomly satisfy Assumptions (A) or Assumptions (B). Accordingly we should think that the Gauss-Markov theorem only holds in the never-never land. However‚ it is important

regression are concerned with measuring the linear relationship between two variables. 1.1 Scattergram It is not a graph at all‚ it looks at first glance like a series of dots placed haphazardly on a sheet of graph paper. The purpose of scattergram is to illustrate diagrammatically any relationship between two variables. (a) If the variables are related‚ what kind of relationship it is‚ linear or nonlinear ? (b) If the relationship is linear‚ the scattergram will show whether
