Q

How do you derive the hat matrix (H)? What is the formula for it?

A
y^ = Xb = X(X'X)^(-1)X'y = Hy
H = X(X'X)^(-1)X'

Q

How do you test whether an observation is an outlier?

A

To test whether the j-th observation is an outlier:
y(i) = x(i)’β + γD(j,i) + ε(i), where D(j,i) = 1 if i=j - basically identity matrix

H0: j-th observation fits general pattern of data, γ=0

Q

Estimate γ with OLS

A

y = Xβ + D(j)γ + ε

FW Theorem: γ^ = (Dj’MDj)^(-1)DjMy ; M = I - H , My = e
= ej/(1 - hj)

γ^ ~ N(0, σ^2/(1-hj)

Q

Studentized Residual

A

γ^ / (sj / sqrt(1 - hj)) = ej / (sj / sqrt(1 - hj)) = ej*

Q

Chow Break Test

A

Q

Why perform a logarithmic transformation?

A

1) Model with multiplicative structure
2) Reduce skewness and heteroskedasticity
3) Model elasticities

17
Q

Why perform a first difference transformation?

A

Time-series specific, taking out a trend

18
Q

What test tests for non-linearity?

A

RESET test
