Chapter 7.4, Problem 16E
The article “Mechanistic-Empirical Design of Bituminous Roads: An Indian Perspective” (A. Das and B. Pandey, Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1999:463–471) presents an equation of the form y = a(l/x1)b(l/x2)c for predicting the number of repetitions for laboratory fatigue failure (y) in terms of the tensile strain at the bottom of the bituminous beam (x1) and the resilient modulus (x2). Transform this equation into a linear model, and express the linear model coefficients in terms of a, b, and c.

The article “Mechanistic-Empirical Design of Bituminous Roads: An Indian Perspective” (A. Das and B. Pandey, Journal of Transportation Engineering, 1999:463–471) presents an equation of the form y = a(1/x1)b(1/x2)c for predicting the number of repetitions for laboratory fatigue failure (y) in terms of the tensile strain at the bottom of the bituminous beam (x1) and the resilient modulus (x2). Transform this equation into a linear model, and express the linear model coefficients in terms of a, b, and c.
In the article “Influence of Crack Width on Shear Behaviour of SIFCON” (C. Fritz and H. Reinhardt, High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cement Composites: Proceedings of the International RILEM/ACI Workshop, 1992), the maximum shear stress τ of a cracked concrete member is given to be τ = τ0(1 − kw), where τ0 is the maximum shear stress for a crack width of zero, w is the crack width in mm, and k is a constant estimated from experimental data. Assume k = 0.29 ± 0.05 mm−1. Given that τ0 = 50 MPa and w = 1.0 mm, both with negligible uncertainty, estimate τ and find the uncertainty in the estimate.
You study the relation between the log excess return on stock XYZ, denoted by Re XY Z,t, and the log excess return on the market portfolio, Re M,t, based on 193 monthly observations: R e XY Z,t = β1 + β2 R e M,t + uXY Z,t. You run this regression in R and obtain from the standard regression output the following parameter estimates and p-values (in squared brackets): Re XY Z,t = −0.3199 + 2.0262 Re M,t + uXY Z,t. [0.7689] [0.0001] (1) (a) Which econometric conclusions you can draw from the p-value of the intercept coefficient? In your answer, clearly explain the meaning of the p-value. Further, refer to the role of the significance level in the context of the test of significance approach, i.e., which steps of the test are (not) affected
