Variance stabilize transformation Weighted LS correlated errors collinear data

2 Heteroskedasticity 變異數不齊一性
For regressions with cross-section data it is usually safe to assume the errors are uncorrelated, but often their variances are not constant across individuals. This is known as the problem of heteroskedasticity (for "unequal scatter"). Unequal Error Variances the usual assumption of constant error variance is referred to as homoskedasticity. Although the mean of the dependent variable might be a linear function of the regressors, the variance of the error terms might also depend on those same regressors, so that the observations might "fan out" in a scatter diagram, as illustrated in the following diagrams.

> Variance (small firm’s sales) Variance (high income family’s expenditure) > Variance (low income family’s) 2.Error Terms: …the error variance is not constant for each obs.

11 Properties of Classical Least Squares Under Heteroskedasticity
Least squares estimators of and still unbiased and consistent; a) unbiased b) consistency (2) Not efficient (Best? Min variance?) 即 的variance並非minimum

12 Inherent Heteroscedasticity
If the response variable follows a distribution in which the variance is functionally related to the mean, heteroscedasticity is inherent. When the residuals from OLS Regression were plotted against the predicted values, the characteristic funnel shape was observed. This would suggest that a transformation on the dependent variable Y might stabilize the variance. If Y is a Poisson random variable, counting the number of occurrences per unit of time or space, then the variance increases with the mean.

13 Some Types of Nonnormal Data and Their Variance-Stabilizing Transformations
Type of Distribution Relationship of Mean & Variance Type of Transformation Poisson Variance = Mean Square Root Binomial Proportions Mean = p Variance = p(1–p)/n Arcsine of Exponential SD = Mean Log and Rank

14 Variance Stabilizing Transformations
We investigate 3 different transformations: Square Root Logarithm Inverse • An examination of the following residual plots shows that only the inverse transformation improves the heterscedasticity, but not as well as the WLS regression. • Also, the OLS regression using the inverse(Y) as the response is harder to interpret than the WLS regression using Y as the response.

15 Another remedial measure in such cases is to use weighted least squares.

17 對於廣義複迴歸模型之誤差項的變異－共變異矩陣比之前所討論的更為複雜：

18 Weighted Least-Squares Regression
The logic of WLS Regression In WLS, values of a and bk are estimated which minimize This process has the effect of minimizing the influence of a case with a large error on the estimation of a and bk and maximizing the influence of a case with a small error on the estimation of a and bk

20 表示模型(M1.1)之迴歸參數的最大概似及加權最小平方估計量，其最簡單的方法是採用矩陣表示。令矩陣W為由加權量wi構成的對角矩陣：
則標準的函數如下所示：

21 而迴歸參數之加權最小平方及最大概似估計量為：
其中bw為已加權最小平方法得到之估計的迴歸參數向量。此迴歸參數之加權最小平方估計量的共變異矩陣為： 此共變異矩陣為已知，因為變異數　 均假設已知。

22 Find a weight: 誤差項變異數已知
Observations with small variances provide more reliable information about the regression function than do those with large variances. Each observation is weighted differently. inversely proportionally to its variance:

23 Find a weight -Grouped data
the observed yi‘ s are actually averages of several (say ni) observations.

24 Find a weight: function of a predictor

25 Ex:Age and BP OLS

26 Residual plots

27 Find a weight

28 Ex: WLS Age and BP

29 revisit: Education example
Suppose we have a hypothesis about the weights, i.e. they are constant within Region, Fit model using OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) to get initial estimate b_{OLS} Use predicted values from this model to estimate wi . Refit model using WLS (Weighted Least Squares). If needed, iterate previous two steps.

34 Consequences of the Errors Being Autocorrelated
Correlated errors Consequences of the Errors Being Autocorrelated

35 SERIAL CORRELATION error corresponding to different observations are correlated.

36 Non Independence of Error Variables
A time series is constituted if data were collected over time. Examining the residuals over time, no pattern should be observed if the errors are independent. When a pattern is detected, the errors are said to be autocorrelated. Autocorrelation can be detected by graphing the residuals against time.

37 Non Independence of Error Variables
Patterns in the appearance of the residuals over time indicates that autocorrelation exists.

42 Correlated errors (AR(1) noise)
Suppose that, instead of being independent, the errors in our model were If rho is close to 1, then errors are very correlated, rho= 0 is independence. This is “Auto-Regressive Order (1)” noise (AR(1)). 第一階自迴歸誤差模型 Many other models of correlation exist: ARMA, ARIMA, ARCH,GARCH, etc.
