Consider a simple regression Y = B1 + ß2 X + u. Suppose we found out that the variance of error term is changing with larger values of X (heteroscedasticity). Show how you overcome the problem of heteroscedasticity by using White's heteroscedasticity consistent variances (only for variance of the slope estimate). Show and explain.

Olympic Pole Vault The graph in Figure 7 indicates that in recent years the winning Olympic men’s pole vault height has fallen below the value predicted by the regression line in Example 2. This might have occurred because when the pole vault was a new event there was much room for improvement in vaulters’ performances, whereas now even the best training can produce only incremental advances. Let’s see whether concentrating on more recent results gives a better predictor of future records. (a) Use the data in Table 2 (page 176) to complete the table of winning pole vault heights shown in the margin. (Note that we are using x=0 to correspond to the year 1972, where this restricted data set begins.) (b) Find the regression line for the data in part ‚(a). (c) Plot the data and the regression line on the same axes. Does the regression line seem to provide a good model for the data? (d) What does the regression line predict as the winning pole vault height for the 2012 Olympics? Compare this predicted value to the actual 2012 winning height of 5.97 m, as described on page 177. Has this new regression line provided a better prediction than the line in Example 2?
1) Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. Explain why and show your work.a) In a simple regression Yi = B1 + B2 Xi + ui where var(ui) = o^2.X^2, weighting the model by X would solve the problem of non-common (heteroskedastic) variance of the error term.

A multiple regression includes two regressors: Yi = b0 + b1X1i +b2X2i + ui. What is the expected change in Y if X1 increases by 8 unitsand X2 is unchanged? What is the expected change in Y if X2 decreasesby 3 units and X1 is unchanged? What is the expected change in Y if X1increases by 4 units and X2 decreases by 7 units?
Can logistic regression be used in both prospective and retrospective study? Will the odds ratios of the effect of the predictor on the response are different under these two study designs? What formula can we use to solve maximum likelihood estimate of regression coefficient beta in Poisson regression (with log link)? can ridge regression be applied if sample size is smaller than the number of predictors? if any 2 variables in X1, X2 AND Y have a positive correlation, then in the linear regression Y = b0 + b1X1 +b2X2 +e, will the sign of b1 and b2 both be positive? will the residuals that we get from linear regression will always be uncorrelated given X?
If the error term in a linear regression model is normally distributed, then the distribution of the OLS estimator, conditional on explanatory variables, is also normal. True or False, why?
The coefficients in a distributed lag regression of Y on X and its lags can be interpreted as the dynamic causal effects when the time path of X is determined randomly and independently of other factors that influence Y. Explain How?
In a simple linear regression, show that the OLS regression line always passes through the mean (average) of both x and y.
When should we use the proportional, binomial, and poisson regression models, and what are the advantages of doing so?The degrees of freedom are included into each of these models in what ways and for what reasons?
If the R-squared for a regression model relating the outcome y to an explanatory variable x is 0.9. This implies that y and x are positively correlated. True or false?
If the R-squared for a regression model relating the outcome y to an explanatory variable x is 0.9. This implies that y and x are positively correlated.
Suppose an appliance manufacturer is doing a regression analysis, using quarterly time-series data, of the factors affecting its sales of appliances. A regression equation was estimated between appliance sales (in dollars) as the dependent variable and disposable personal income and new housing starts as the independent variables. The statistical tests of the model showed large t-values for both independent variables, along with a high r2 value. However, analysis of the residuals indicated that substantial autocorrelation was present.a. What are some of the possible causes of this autocorrelation?b. How does this autocorrelation affect the conclusions concerning the significance of the individual explanatory variables and the overall explanatory power of the regression model?c. Given that a person uses the model for forecasting future appliance sales, how does this autocorrelation affect the accuracy of these forecasts?d. What techniques might be used to remove this autocorrelation…
