Publishing as Prentice Hall Ch. 11-3

4 Overview of Linear Models In many economic and business problems a specific functional relationship is needed to obtain numerical results: If 250 workers are employed in a factory, how many units would be produced during an average day? If a developing country increases its fertilizer production by 1,000,000 tons, how much increase in grain production should be expected? If a firm sets the price of its product at $10 per unit, what would be the mean level of sales? (continued) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Ch. 11-4

5 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Overview of Linear Models We can approximate the desired functional relationships by a linear equation, Y = β 0 + β 1 X Where Y is the dependent variable and X is the independent variable β 0 is the Y-intercept β 1 is the slope 11.1 Ch. 11-5

6 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Least Squares Regression Estimates for coefficients β 0 and β 1 are found using a Least Squares Regression technique The least-squares regression line, based on sample data, is Where b 1 is the slope of the line and b 0 is the y- intercept: Ch. 11-6

7 Introduction to Regression Analysis Regression analysis is used to: Predict the value of a dependent variable based on the value of at least one independent variable Explain the impact of changes in an independent variable on the dependent variable Dependent variable: the variable we wish to explain (also called the endogenous variable) Independent variable: the variable used to explain the dependent variable (also called the exogenous variable) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Ch. 11-7

8 Linear Regression Model The relationship between X and Y is described by a linear function Changes in Y are assumed to be caused by changes in X Linear regression population equation model Where  0 and  1 are the population model coefficients and  is a random error term.

11 Simple Linear Regression Equation The simple linear regression equation provides an estimate of the population regression line Estimate of the regression intercept Estimate of the regression slope Estimated (or predicted) y value for observation i Value of x for observation i The individual random error terms e i have a mean of zero Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Ch. 11-11

12 Least Squares Estimators b 0 and b 1 are obtained by finding the values of b 0 and b 1 that minimize the sum of the squared differences between y and : Differential calculus is used to obtain the coefficient estimators b 0 and b 1 that minimize SSE Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Ch. 11-12 11.3

13 Least Squares Estimators The slope coefficient estimator is And the constant or y-intercept is The regression line always goes through the mean x, y (continued) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Ch. 11-13

14 Finding the Least Squares Equation The coefficients b 0 and b 1, and other regression results in this chapter, will be found using a computer Hand calculations are tedious Statistical routines are built into Excel Other statistical analysis software can be used Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Ch. 11-14

15 Linear Regression Model Assumptions The true relationship form is linear (Y is a linear function of X, plus random error) The error terms, ε i are independent of the x values The error terms are random variables with mean 0 and constant variance, σ 2 (the constant variance property is called homoscedasticity) The random error terms, ε i, are not correlated with one another, so that Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Ch. 11-15

16 Interpretation of the Slope and the Intercept b 0 is the estimated average value of y when the value of x is zero (if x = 0 is in the range of observed x values) b 1 is the estimated change in the average value of y as a result of a one-unit change in x Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Ch. 11-16

17 Simple Linear Regression Example A real estate agent wishes to examine the relationship between the selling price of a home and its size (measured in square feet) A random sample of 10 houses is selected Dependent variable (Y) = house price in $1000s Independent variable (X) = square feet Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

25 Interpretation of the Intercept, b 0 b 0 is the estimated average value of Y when the value of X is zero (if X = 0 is in the range of observed X values) Here, no houses had 0 square feet, so b 0 = 98.24833 just indicates that, for houses within the range of sizes observed, $98,248.33 is the portion of the house price not explained by square feet Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

26 Interpretation of the Slope Coefficient, b 1 b 1 measures the estimated change in the average value of Y as a result of a one- unit change in X Here, b 1 =.10977 tells us that the average value of a house increases by.10977($1000) = $109.77, on average, for each additional one square foot of size Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.
