[R] Re : stat question - not R question so ignore if not interested
For the first question x'(y-bx)<>0 or Cov(Ui,Xi)<>0 you have heterogeinity problem ! OLS estimator in this case in biased. The bias is equal to (Exx')^{-1}Exu You obtain obtain correct estimator by use instrumental variable or 2SLS ... Justin BEM Elève Ingénieur Statisticien Economiste BP 294 Yaoundé.

Park <cspark@ces.clemson.edu> Envoyé le : Mardi, 5 Décembre 2006, 21h42mn 21s Objet : [R] stat question - not R question so ignore if not interested If do a scattrplot of data ( x and y ) and there are two clouds of points. One cloud is in the left bottom corner of the plot and the other cloud is in the upper right. If I fit a regression line to this data ( or equivalently , calculate a correlation ), then obviously, it is going to seem like x and y are related because a line has to be connected between the 2 clouds. But, there must be a regression assumption that is violated here because if the regressions are done separately on each cloud, then there really isn't a relationship between x and y. I was just wondering 1) what assumption in regression is being violated in the first case or 2) possibly if the regression is valid and the results just have some different interpreation ? Thanks.
