Linear regression with constrained coefficient
General constrained OLS problem
Recall that the OLS problem, subject to linear constraints can be written as
$$
\begin{align}
\arg\min_{\boldsymbol{\beta}}\boldsymbol{Y}'\boldsymbol{Y} - \boldsymbol{ …

Can I test all possible contrasts in a regression with a categorical explanatory variable?
You don't say what platform you are using. Stata makes this very easy to do using the margins, pwcompare command.
For example,

If $cor(X,\epsilon) \approx 0$ in linear regression, can we conclude $X$ is exogenous?
The linear regression model is
$$
\boldsymbol{Y} = \mathbf{X}\boldsymbol{\beta} + \boldsymbol{\varepsilon}
$$
together with the conditional uncorrelatedness assumption $\mathbb{E}( \mathbf{X}\boldsymbol … Thus this cannot form the basis of a test for the unconditional uncorrelatedness assumption in the linear regression model. …

How do you calculate the statistical significance of a correlation between $Y$ and $X$?
Here is a Python function to perform a t-test, as well as a z-test for the significance of the correlation coefficient between two series.

How to express a Poisson regression as an equation
The Poisson regression model is
$$
\begin{align}
\mathbb{E}(Y_i \mid \boldsymbol{X}_i) &\equiv h(\boldsymbol{X}_i) \\
&= \exp(\beta_0 + \sum_{k=1}^K\beta_k X_{ki}) \\
&= \mathbb{V}(Y_i \mid \boldsymbol … There is however, nothing specific to the Poisson regression equation in your question. …

Filter function in R throws data missing
The filter function you want to run, from the base package stats -- stats::filter -- is being over-ridden by dplyr::filter, since you are probably also loading dplyr. You can either write stats::filte …

How do I interpret a probit model in Stata?
This is so because in the linear regression case, the regression coefficients are the marginal effects. … In the probit regression, there is an additional step of computation required to get the marginal effects once you have computed the probit regression fit. …

Stepwise regression in R with both direction
For example, assume that you are fitting a linear regression model with the upper set of variables $\mathcal{U} = \{X_1, X_2, X_3, X_4, X_5, X_6, X_7\}$, and lower set $\mathcal{L} = \{X_1\}$, and the …

How to account for a regressand affecting a regressor?
You probably mean reverse causality. That is a form of endogeneity. For a nice discussion, see page 146 here. Broadly, you deal with it the same way you deal with endogeneity in general, using either …

Asymptotic assumptions in OLS
The canonical reference for this kind of thing is White (2001).

Using the Lagrange multiplier statistic in regression
In your case, I am assuming that you are interested in the LM test for linear regression specification, in particular for testing for omitted variables in your model. … An auxiliary regression of the form you are attempting is a convenient way of computing the LM test statistic. …

Are variables, which linear combination results in a endogenous variable, endogenous?
To see this recall that endogeneity of a regressor $X_i$ in the simple regression model
$$
Y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 X_i + \varepsilon_i
$$
means that $\mathbb{E}(X_i\varepsilon_i) \neq 0$. …
