This video provides an introduction to the F test of multiple regression coefficients, explaining the motivation behind the test. Check out ben-lambert.com/econometrics-... for course materials, and information regarding updates on each of the courses. Quite excitingly (for me at least), I am about to publish a whole series of new videos on Bayesian statistics on youtube. See here for information: ben-lambert.com/bayesian/ Accompanying this series, there will be a book: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1...

If the value of F-statistics is larger, there is a higher probability of rejecting the null hypothesis. That means there is a higher possibility of a significant correlation between Y (result e.g. Sales) and X (variable on which dependency is being studied e.g Advertisement on TV)

Thank you very much for the Video! Lets say i dont want to use the F-Test. Can i also use the T-Test for each parameter? (I know it wouldnt make sense time wise but can i understand the F-Test as a „shortcut“-solution? Like instead of doing 3+3+3+3 i can also do 4x3?)

@AbdusSamad-su1qc 10 жыл бұрын

Hi there ben my undergraduate lecturer has formed the F-stat by dividing the numerator by the number of restrictions and the denominator by the number of samples minus the number of parameters , hope you can explain why she has done this?

Ben, Thanks for an EXCELLENT series. On the F-Test I see a seemingly different interpretation in some videos talking about ANOVA and a ratio SSW/SSB (variance between and within group). I will be highly obliged if you can draw a similarity / contrast between your interpretation of F test and SSW/SSB (ANOVA: Omnibus Test) interpretation or point me to some online material. Best regards

@gordongoodwin6279 2 жыл бұрын

Regression and ANOVA are identical, the interpretation is the same effectively

@tchen4955 6 жыл бұрын

why do you take the difference of the two SSR and not just the ratio of the two? the ratio of two chi-square already follow an f distribution like (SSR1/n1)/(SSR2/n2)

@brianyim5544 5 жыл бұрын

shouldn't r-squared of unrestricted model be larger instead, you have more regressors, thus should explain more variation of y than restricted model?

@jjeon9850 4 жыл бұрын

Other than it possibly taking a longer time, is there a reason why it's not preferable to do multiple t-tests rather than an f-test -> maybe because with multiple t-tests you can at least figure out which exact coefficient is a significant value?

Hi Ben what is the intuition behind dividing SSR by degrees of freedom (in UR)? (is that your are dividing all the unexplained things by the variables that are not regressors?

@SpartacanUsuals 9 жыл бұрын

Mitch Amp The idea is that you want a gauge of how well the unrestricted model explains the data. How you evaluate this depends on the number of parameters, and the amount of data you have; in other words the degrees of freedom of your model.

@jesus4life271 9 жыл бұрын

would you say the degrees of freedom is all the data spots that you are not using as an explanatory variable (and therefore not using to explain Y directly)?

@jesus4life271 9 жыл бұрын

n-k (k regressors)?

@SpartacanUsuals 9 жыл бұрын

Mitch Amp Not sure I would put it exactly like that. The number of parameters estimated is k. This leaves n-k data points free to vary essentially. See this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5qRnK6etamdaWg.html - hope that helps!

@jesus4life271 9 жыл бұрын

degrees of freedom as n-k(parameters estimated) how come b1 and b2 are not free to vary because depending the data points you use won't they vary aswell?

@sirlightyearchannel 7 жыл бұрын

isn't it n-k-1 instead of n-p-1 where k is number of regressors in the unrestricted model?

@user-kx1px3er3l 7 жыл бұрын

In my opinion, thats the exact same thing with the video! In the video, p=# of regressors. However, the df of (SSRr-SSRur) is not the # of regressors. It is # of restrictions(for example when Ho:b3=b4=0, # of restrictions equals 2)

Can anyone explain the difference between a restricted and unrestricted model?

@Lucyferandtheson003 Жыл бұрын

In a restricted model, all beta values are considered to be equal to zero such that the regression line is equal to the regression constant. The restricted model has the largest sum of squared residuals. In the unrestricted model, the sum of squared residuals is at minimum (line of best fit)

what if you're just testing Ho: B1=B2 ?

@LewisMacdonald1 9 жыл бұрын

It's about re-specifying the model so you have a coefficient you can test. You could re-specify your model to take w1 = x1 - x2. Then your overall model would be: y = a + D1w1 + B3x3+...+Bpxp and you would test a Ho: D1=0 (since if D1=0 then B1-B2 = 0 and so B1=B2) with a t test. If you just have one restriction in the null hypothesis, you can use a t test. for multiple restrictions you must use the F test as always.
