Chapter 14 Multiple Regression Analysis and Model Building. So far, we know that given the
Gauss-Markov assumptions, OLS is BLUE. In this chapter, we introduce the concept of a regression
model, discuss several varieties of them, and introduce the estimation method that is most commonly
used with regression models, namely, least squares. In Sections 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, we describe various
statistical properties of the OLS estimators, including unbiasedness and efficiency. Measurement.

a difference between differences: the difference in means between two lev els of X at one value of
W is not the same as the difference in the corresponding means at another value of W, and this not-

can incorporate fairly general functional form relationships. Multiple regression analysis is more
amenable to ceteris paribus analysis because it allows us to explicitly control for many other factors

simple regression analysis for empirical work is that it is very difficult to draw ceteris paribus
conclusions about how x affects y: the key assumption, SLR.4-that all other factors affecting y are
uncorrelated with x-is often unrealistic. Naturally, if we add more factors to our model that are
useful for explaining y, then more of the variation in y can be explained. Advantages of the method
include clarity of tests of regression coefficients, and efficiency of winnowing out uninformative
predictors (in the form of interactions) in reducing a full model to a satisfactory reduced model.

If the difference is large enough to be interesting, we suspect the reduced model to be oversimplified

Introduction. Multiple regression is an extension of bivariate regression to take into account more
than one independent variable.
We substitute the given values of x1, x2,..., xp into the estimated regression equation and use the
corresponding value of y as the point estimate. It allows the mean function () E y to depend on more
than one explanatory variables and to have shapes other than straight lines, although it does not
allow for arbitrary shapes. Consistency. Under the Gauss-Markov assumptions OLS is BLUE, but in
other cases it won’t always be possible to find unbiased estimators. Therefore, the findings could be
used against bone-related disorders (osteoporosis, fracture, scoliosis, and bone cancer), deficiency of
vitamin D 3, and mitochondrial dysfunction in associate with age-related and neurodegeneration
disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, dementias, brain cancer, epilepsy and Parkinson's. In Sections
3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, we describe various statistical properties of the OLS estimators, including
unbiasedness and efficiency. The method is illustrated by applying it to a convenient data set.
