Is interpreting log-log regression with log(1+x) as independent variable the same as having log(x) as independent variable? 1% increase in x results in beta% change in y?
What is x has both negative ...

Suppose we have a standard regression model and want to identify whether we have violated the assumptions of the model. Traditionally, we might utilize a significance test to determine whether (for ...
|
I have two sample covariance matrices, computed from $n$ samples, less than $p$ variables: they are singular then.
I know that the sum of two covariance matrices is also a covariance matrix.
My ...

Is there a known analytic solution for finding the minimum variance unbiased estimator of a disk of an unknown location given that a sample of $n$ points was drawn uniformly and randomly from the disk ...
|
To use OLS for inference, is it necessary in all cases that the premise of homoscedasticity is met?
I need to check the influence of some features (eg age, income...) on a variable y (whether or not I ...

Assuming I have proportions for clicks to impressions of 0.10 for p1 and 0.05 for p2. This is equivalent to 10% and 5% click through rate.
One way is to say that p1 is 5% higher but can we even say ...

I would like to perform a joint subclassification of some data on the propensity and prognostic scores as described in this paper "On the joint use of propensity and prognostic scores in ...

Greatest hits from previous weeks:

I have two questions about confidence intervals:
Apparently a narrow confidence interval implies that there is a smaller chance of obtaining an observation within that interval, therefore, our ...

Say I have some historical data e.g., past stock prices, airline ticket price fluctuations, past financial data of the company...
Now someone (or some formula) comes along and says "let's take/use ...

There is an old saying: "Correlation does not mean causation". When I teach, I tend to use the following standard examples to illustrate this point:
number of storks and birth rate in Denmark;
number ...

I get this question frequently enough in my statistics consulting work, that I thought I'd post it here. I have an answer, which is posted below, but I was keen to hear what others have to say.

I'm sure many people will respond with links to 'let me google that for you', so I want to say that I've tried to figure this out so please forgive my lack of understanding here, but I cannot figure ...

Searched high and low and have not been able to find out what AUC, as in related to prediction, stands for or means.

Can you answer these questions?
|
Suppose I have a panel data and would like to look at time fixed effects, i.e. effects constant across "state" but varying over time.
My understanding was always, that the estimated ...

I am learning about performing stepwise model selection by AIC and I have 2 questions here:
1.Regarding to stepwise AIC, what is contribution (effectiveness) of the number of parameters in the model ...

Say we have a dataset $D$ of 2-tuples $(x, y)$ where $y$ is the target variable and a function $f_\theta$:
$$
D = \{(1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 8), (4, 6), (5, 9)\},\quad f_\theta(x) = \theta_0 + \theta_1 x.
$...
