considers the relationship between two variables in two ways: (1) by using regression analysis and (2) by computing the correlation coefficient. By using the regression model‚ we can evaluate the magnitude of change in one variable due to a certain change in another variable. For example‚ an economist can estimate the amount of change in food expenditure due to a certain change in the income of a household by using the regression model. A sociologist may want to estimate the increase in the crime rate

CHAPTER 4 – THE BASIS OF STATISTICAL TESTING * samples and populations * population – everyone in a specified target group rather than a specific region * sample – a selection of individuals from the population * sampling * simple random sampling – identify all the people in the target population and then randomly select the number that you need for your research * extremely difficult‚ time-consuming‚ expensive * cluster sampling – identify

assume that one will cost more or less than any other. The pricing for houses vary based on their characteristics. Each characteristic must be analyzed to determine its contribution or detraction toward the price. I have taken some of these characteristics and modeled the relationship between them and the price of real estate for a specific area. How are these characteristics used in determining the price? A model that is commonly used in real estate appraisal is the hedonic regression. This method

LINEAR REGRESSION MODELS W4315 HOMEWORK 2 ANSWERS February 15‚ 2010 Instructor: Frank Wood 1. (20 points) In the file ”problem1.txt”(accessible on professor’s website)‚ there are 500 pairs of data‚ where the first column is X and the second column is Y. The regression model is Y = β0 + β1 X + a. Draw 20 pairs of data randomly from this population of size 500. Use MATLAB to run a regression model specified as above and keep record of the estimations of both β0 and β1 . Do this 200 times. Thus you
