Multiple regression analysis

By H. Knipe. 2015

Suppose that what we are interested in the relationship between hourly wage and education, but we believe that wage is, in fact, determined not solely by education level, but also by experience. That is, the true model of hourly wage is given by: Now, what we are interested in is still the coefficient, $ 1, holding fixed ALL OTHER FACTORS affecting wage. (That is, we want to know the effect of education on wage, ceteris parabus.) We can write this model in a more general form where we have k independent variables as: where $ 0 is the intercept, $ 1 is the parameter associated with x 1 and so forth. Note that since there are k independent variables and an intercept, this equations contains k+1 (unknown) population parameters. NOTE: in multiple regression models, a model is considered " linear " if it is LINEAR IN THE PARAMETERS (those are the $'s). That means we can have the independent variables enter into the model however we would like – squared, cubed, log form, etc. Key Assumption: A key assumption for multiple regression analysis is the relationship between the error term, ,, and the independent variables, x1...xk. We will assume the following relationship, which can be described as a conditional expectation: That is, GIVEN THE x's, the expected value of the error term is zero. The unobserved error term is uncorrelated with any of the independent variables. The estimated OLS equation is given by: where b 0 is the OLS estimate of $ 0 , and so forth. The method of ordinary least squares is exactly the same as for the bivariate model. That is, the estimates are found by MINIMIZING the sum of squared errors:
