问题如下:
Default spread is equal to the yield on Baa bonds minus the yield on Aaa bonds. Term spread is equal to the yield on a 10-year constant-maturity US Treasury index minus the yield on a 1-year constant-maturity US Treasury index. Pres party dummy is equal to 1 if the US President is a member of the Democratic Party and 0 if a member of the Republican Party.
The regression is estimated with 431 observations.
Exhibit 1.Multiple Regression Output
Exhibit 2. Table of the Student’s t-Distribution (One-Tailed Probabilities for df = ∞)
The 95 percent confidence interval for the regression coefficient for the default spread is closest to:
选项:
A.0.13 to 5.95.
B.1.72 to 4.36.
C.1.93 to 4.15.
解释:
B is correct.
The confidence interval is computed as . From Exhibit 1, a1 = 3.04 and t(a1) = 4.52, resulting in a standard error of a1 = s(a1) = 3.04/4.52 = 0.673. The critical value for t from Exhibit 3 is 1.96 for p = 0.025. The confidence interval for a1 is 3.04 ± 0.673 × 1.96 = 3.04 ± 1.31908 or from 1.72092 to 4.35908.
老师您好,有两个问题麻烦解答一下:1、题目中给了单尾的表,实际上本题的检验是双尾的呢?2、关于单尾和双尾检验,我理解跟您在前几个问题答复中解释的恰好是反的。。。单尾检验的话,拒绝域在一个尾巴上的话,中间面积95%,那查表时不应该是使用α按照5%来查表的么,因为只有一个尾巴。而相反双尾的话,中间区域面积是95%,查表时用α/2按照2.5%来查。麻烦您帮捋一下,感谢🙏
