  1. Consistency Clive W. J. Granger: “If you can’t get it right as n goes to infinity, you shouldn’t be in this business.” 

  2. Consistency What is consistency? If an estimator, , is consistent, then the distribution of becomes more and more tightly distributed around as the sample size grows. As the distribution of collapses to the single point .

  3. Consistency In the general model: , all OLS parameter estimators are consistent.

  4. Example Trying to estimate the mean or average human IQ: In Minitab take samples of 10, 100, and 1000. Have Minitab compute the sample mean, , and the standard error of the sample mean, . A 95% CI can be created. Data can be plotted.

  5. Testing MLR Assumption 5 MLR Assumption 5: The error, u, has the same variance given any values of the explanatory variables. This is the assumption of homoskedasticity. Run a MLR analysis and graph the residuals vs. each predictor variable and vs. fits and vs. order.

  6. Testing MLR Assumption 5 Use SMOKE data set Response: cigs Predictors: educ, cigpric, age In Minitab under Regression -> Regression click on the Graphs box and at the bottom select the three predictor variables to plot the residuals vs. these variables.

  7. Testing MLR Assumption 5 – Examples of Heteroskedasticity

  8. Testing MLR Assumption 5 – Examples of Heteroskedasticity

  9. Testing MLR Assumption 5 – Examples of Heteroskedasticity

  10. Testing MLR Assumption 6 MLR Assumption 6: The error, u, is independent of the explanatory or predictor variables and is normally distributed with mean zero and variance . Run a MLR analysis and make histogram of residuals and normal probability plot of residuals.
