This kind of statistical test can only be used when the dependent variable is measured at the interval level.
What is a regression?
100
This tells me that a one unit increase in the IV will cause a certain percentage change in the DV.
What is a Regression Coefficient?
100
This kind of regression produces pseudo R squares.
What is a probit or logit regression?
100
When individuals select themselves into a group.
What is self selection?
100
Values of the dependent variable are correlated with other values of the dependent variable.
What is autocorrelation?
200
This is the basic kind of regression and tries to minimize the sum of the squared differences between real values of y and estimated values of y.
What is OLS regression (ordinary least squares regression)
200
This term is synonymous with with the random sampling error.
What is standard error?
200
This is a question that is designed to result in a particular answer.
What is a leading question?
200
This term refers to error terms that vary randomly.
What is homoskedasticity?
200
How do I measure if there is a problem with autocorrelation?
What is a Durban Watson statistic?
300
This is a standard measure of fit in a regression. It is on a scale of 0-1 and the closer it is to 1, the better.
What is R Squared?
300
You use these tests when you have dichotomous dependent variables.
What is probit or logit?
300
This is a statistical problem in which two or more independent variables are highly correlated to each other.
What is multicollinearity?
300
This term refers to when there is a pattern in your residuals.
What is heteroskedasticity?
300
MLE is an acronym. What does it stand for?
What is Maximum Likelihood Estimation.
400
This measures statistical significance for the entire regression.
What is a F Test?
400
This is the estimated value of y.
What is y hat?
400
This is something that can skew the entire regression line, it is an observation that is significantly different from the rest of the data.
What is an outlier?
400
This is the coefficient divided by the standard error.
What is a t test?
400
This is a solution to the problem of heteroskedasticity.
What is calculating robust standard errors?
500
This calculates statistical significance for a particular variable.
What is a T test?
500
This is a phenomena in which people respond to a survey according to what they believe are acceptable societal norms, possibly concealing their true opinions.
What is social desirability?
500
The extent to which a sample statistic differs, by chance from a population parameter.
What is random sampling error?
500
This is when there is a correlation between a variable and the error term.
What is endogeneity?
500
In this kind of regression, you can't interpret regression statistics on your own (at least not at this point).
