Subjective Part

Q.2:     The following data is collected to determine a suitable regression equation relating the length of an infant Y (cm) to age X1 (days) and weight at birth X2 (Kg):

Y 57.5 52.8 61.3 67 53.5 62.7 56.2 68.5 69.2
X1 78 69 77 88 67 80 74 94 102
X2 2.75 2.15 4.41 5.52 3.21 4.32 2.31 4.30 3.71

Estimate the equation i.e. Y on X1 and X2 Test individual significance of parameter using a = .05.

Q.3:     Apply Gold-Feld & Quandt test to check the evidence of Heteroskedasticity in the following data at 5% level of significance. (Y denotes income & X denotes consumption)

Y 20 25 23 18 26 27 29 31 22 27 32 35 40 41 39

Q.4: (a) What is Autocorrelation? Discuss its major causes.

b. Write a comprehensive note on detection of autocorrelation?

Q.5: By considering the following model, Find reduced form equation. Also determine structural parameters in the form of reduced form coefficient.

Y1 = a1 + a2Y2 + a3X1 + U1

Y2 = b1 + b2Y1 + b3X2 + U1

Q.6: By considering the repression model:

Find mean and variance for un-conditional forecasts when Yt+1 = a + βXt+1 + et+1

  1. a is estimated, β is known
  2. a is known and β is unknown
