Point Prediction

• Example 18.7– Predict the selling price of a three-year-old Taurus

with 40,000 miles on the odometer (Example 18.2).

– It is predicted that a 40,000 miles car would sell for $14,575.

– How close is this prediction to the real price?

Interval Estimates• Two intervals can be used to discover how closely the

predicted value will match the true value of y.– Prediction interval – predicts y for a given value of x,– Confidence interval – estimates the average y for a given x.

Interval Estimates,Example

• Example 18.7 - continued – Provide an interval estimate for the bidding

price on a Ford Taurus with 40,000 miles on the odometer.

– Two types of predictions are required:• A prediction for a specific car

• An estimate for the average price per car

Caveat about Prediction

• Remember that predicting y based on x from a regression is only reliable if x falls inside the range of the data observed.

• Extrapolation is dangerous.

18.9 Regression Diagnostics - I

• The four conditions required for the validity of the simple linear regression analysis are:– the mean of the error variable conditional on x is zero

for each x

– the error variable is normally distributed.

– the error variance is constant for all values of x.

– the errors are independent of each other.

• How can we diagnose violations of these conditions?

Page 13: Lecture 20 Simple linear regression (18.6, 18.9) Homework 5 is posted and is due next Tuesday at 3 p.m. (Note correction on question 4(e)). Regular office

Residual Analysis

• Examining the residuals helps detect violation of the required conditions

• A residual plot is a scatterplot of the regression residuals against another variable, usually the independent variable or time.

• If the simple linear regression model holds, there should be no pattern in the residual plots.

• Don’t read too much into these plots. You’re looking for gross departures from a random scatter.

Detecting Curvature

• If the residual plot has a curved pattern, this indicates that the regression function is not a straight line.

• Transformations to deal with the problem of a curved regression function rather than a straight line regression function later in the lecture.

Heteroscedasticity• When the requirement of a constant variance is violated

we have a condition of heteroscedasticity.• Diagnose heteroscedasticity by plotting the residual

against the predicted y.

Non Independence of Error Variables

– A time series is constituted if data were collected over time.

– Examining the residuals over time, no pattern should be observed if the errors are independent.

– When a pattern is detected, the errors are said to be serially correlated (or autocorrelated)

– Serial correlation can be detected by graphing the residuals against time.

Checking normality

• To check the normality of the error variable, draw a histogram of the residuals.

• Violation of normality only has a serious effect on confidence intervals and tests if the sample size is small (less than 30) and there is either strong skewness or outliers.

Outliers• An outlier is an observation that is unusually small or large.• Three types of outliers in scatterplots:

– Outlier in x direction– Outlier in y direction– Outlier in overall direction of scatterplot (residual has large

magnitude)• Several possibilities need to be investigated when an outlier is

observed:– There was an error in recording the value.– The point does not belong in the sample.– The observation is valid.

• Identify outliers from the scatterplot

Leverage and Influential Points

• An observation has high leverage if it is an outlier in the x direction.

• An observation is influential if removing it would markedly change the least squares line.

• Observations that have high leverage are influential if they do not fall very close to the least squares line for the other points.

Transformations

• Suppose that the residual plot indicates curvature in the regression function. What do we do?

• One possibility: Transform x or transform y.

• Tukey’s Bulging Rule (see Handout).

18.6 Finance Application: Market Model• One of the most important applications of

linear regression is the market model.• It is assumed that rate of return on a stock

(R) is linearly related to the rate of return on the overall market.

R = 0 + 1Rm +

Rate of return on a particular stock Rate of return on some major stock index

The beta coefficient measures how sensitive the stock’s rate of return is to changes in the level of the overall market.
