A multiple regression model, K = a + bX + cY + dZ, is estimated regression software, which produces the following output:   a. Are the estimates of a, b, c, and d statistically significant at the 1 percent significance level? b. How much of the total variation is explained by this regression equation? c. Is the overall regression equation statistically significant at the 1 percent level of significance? d. If X equals 50, Y equals 200, and Z equals 45, what value do you predict K will take?

Imagine you are an economist working for the Government of Econville. You are tasked with developing a model to predict the GDP of the country based on various factors such as interest rates, inflation, unemployment rate, and population growth. You collect quarterly data for the past 20 years and start building your model. After running your initial regression, you notice some peculiar patterns in the residuals: (1) residuals do not have identical variances across different levels of the independent variables; (2) two or more independent variables in a regression model are highly correlated with each other; (3) the correlation of a variable with its own past values. You suspect that your model might be suffering from 3 potential issues in the regression analysis that can affect reliability and validity. List 2 factors in your model that might be causing the Multicollinearity and give a reason

The data for this question is given in the file 1.Q1.xlsx(see image)  and it refers to data for some cities X1 = total overall reported crime rate per 1 million residents X3 = annual police funding in $/resident X7 = % of people 25 years+ with at least 4 years of college   (a) Estimate a regression with X1 as the dependent variable and X3 and X7 as the independent variables. (b) Will additional education help to reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in crime)? Please explain. (c) Will an increase in funding for the police departments help reduce total overall crime (lead to a statistically significant reduction in total overall crime)? Please explain. (d) If you were asked to recommend a policy to reduce crime, then, based only on the above regression results, would you choose to invest in education (local schools) or in additional funding for the police? Please explain.

In a regression problem with one output variable and one input variable, we set up two cutpoints z1 and z2 for the input variable and we fit a step function regression model based on these two cutpoints of the input variable. If you write the regression problem in matrix form y = X%*%β + ε, how many rows would the vector β have?

Hello, please help me to solve the question (c) and (d) below.Consider this regression model (1) : Yt = β0 + β1 Ut + β2 Vt + β3 Wt + β4 Xt + εt ; where t= 1, ..., 75.We use OLS to estimate the parameters, producing the following model:Ŷt = 1.115 + 0.790 Ut − 0.327 Vt + 0.763 Wt + 0.456 Xt      (0.405)   (0.178)      (0.088)        (0.274)      (0.017)  Given that:R2 = 0.941; Durbin Watson stat DW = 1.907; RSS = 0.0757.(To answer the question, use the 5% level of significance, state clearly H0 and H1 that are tested, the test statistics that are used, and interpret the decisions.) (a) Describe the concepts of unbiasedness and efficiency. State the conditions required of regression (1) in order that the OLS estimators of the model parameters possess these properties.
