8.1 THE NORMALITY ASSUMPTION ONCE AGAIN

• We continue to assume that the ui follow the normal distribution with zero mean and constant variance σ2.

• With normality assumption we find that the OLS estimators of the partial regression coefficients are best linear unbiased estimators (BLUE).

where use is made of the definition R2 = ESS/TSS. Equation on the left shows how F and R2 are related. These two vary directly. When R2 = 0, F is zero ipso facto. The larger the R2, the greater the F value. In the limit, when R2 = 1, F is infinite. Thus the F test, which is a measure of the overall significance of the estimated regression, is also a test of significance of R2. In other words, testing the null hypothesis (8.5.9) is equivalent to testing the null hypothesis that (the population) R2 is zero.

This F value is highly significant, as the computed p value is 0.0008.

This F value is highly significant, suggesting that addition of FLR to the model significantly increases ESS and hence the R2 value. Therefore, FLR should be added to the model.

Again, note that if you square the t value of the FLR coefficient in the multipleregression (8.2.1), which is (−10.6293)2, you will obtain the F value of (8.5.17).
