对回归分析进行参数估计时,有三种估计方法,最小二乘法(OLS, ordinary least squares),广义矩估计(GMM, general moment method)以及最大似然估计(MLE, maximum likelihood estimation),最为常用的方法即是最小二乘法,即采用的是高斯马尔科夫定理。
参考伍德里奇的计量经济学导论,但在采用最小二乘法进行估计时,针对SLR(一元线性回归),其变量需要满足如下的条件假设
- 模型的线性
Assumption SLR.1 (LINEAR IN PARAMETERS)
In the population model, the dependent variable y is related to the independent variable x and the error (or disturbance) u as
where and are the population intercept and slope parameters, respectively. - 变量的随机性
Assumption SLR.2 (RANDOM SAMPLING)
We can use a random sample of size, from the population model. - 零条件均值假设
Assumption SLR.3 (ZERO CONDITIONAL MEAN)
- 自变量方差不为零
Assumption SLR.4 (SAMPLE VARIATION IN THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE)
In the sample, the independent variables , are not all equal to the same constant. This requires some variation in x in the population.
而如果进行的是 MLR(多元线性回归),其假设条件为:
- 模型的线性
Assumption MLR.1 (LINEAR IN PARAMETERS)
The model in the population can be written as
where are are the unknown parameters (constants) of interest, and u is an unobservable random error or random disturbance term. - 变量的随机性
Assumption MLR.2 (RANDOM SAMPLING)
We have a random sample of n observations, , from the population model described by (3.31). - 零条件均值假设
Assumption MLR.3 (ZERO CONDITIONAL MEAN)
The error has an expected value of zero, given any values of the independent variables. In other words,
- 变量无完美共线性
Assumption MLR.4 (NO PERFECT COLLINEARITY )
In the sample (and therefore in the population), none of the independent variables is constant, and there are no exact linear relationships among the independent variables. - 方差齐性
Assumption MLR.5 (HOMOSKEDASTICITY)
6.正态性
Assumption MLR.6 (NORMALITY)
The population error is independent of the explanatory variables and is normally distributed with zero mean and variance : u ~ Normal(0, )
以上是对模型运用中的基本假设进行解读,具体到应用中,涉及到回归模型的诊断、统计检验、绘图及模型解释可以参考文章回归分析诊断、统计检验、绘图及模型解释。
