Example of testing research hypotheses by comparing. Introduction and assumptions the classical linear regression model can be written as or where x t n is the tth row of the matrix x or simply as where it is implicit that x t is a row vector containing the regressors for the tth time period. You can also use anova to test the significance of each predictor in the model. Deaton in pesaran 9, the test developed by cox for comparing separate families of hypo theses was applied to the choice between two nonnested linear singleequation econometric models.

So it is important to understand the role of a linear model in the context of linear regression analysis.

Hypothesis testing in the multiple regression model testing that individual coefficients take a specific value such as zero or some other value is done in exactly the same way as with the simple two variable regression model. Regression technique used for the modeling and analysis of numerical data exploits the relationship between two or more variables so that we can gain information about one of them through knowing values of the other regression can be used for prediction, estimation, hypothesis testing, and modeling causal relationships.

Regression is a statistical technique to determine the linear relationship between two or more variables. What statistical test is required to assess goodness of fit of a linear or nonlinear regression equation. If the truth is non linearity, regression will make inappropriate predictions, but at least regression will have a chance to detect the non linearity. A statistic based on the distribution is used to test the twosided hypothesis that the true slope, equals some constant value. The advent of advanced computer technology has made it possible for the econometrician to estimate an increasing number of nonlinear regression models. In contrast to linear regression models, npr frees researchers from the need to impose a priori specification on functional forms, thus allowing more flexibility and less vulnerability to misspecification problems.
