why is finding information this clean and organized about statistics is so hard? even the textbooks have confusing languages, inconsistent notations etc. thank you so much for all your hard efforts. your videos are invaluable resources.

OH MY GOD ! I FOUND THE HEAVEN ON KZread ! I was so scared to fail comm 215 as I was not understanding anything about this damn course and I found your chanel ! You are genius ! You save me as you explain things so well ! I am french, I am not used to technical english so I wasn't following well in lectures and thanks to you, I CAN NOW UNDERSTAND THESE DAMN CHAPTERS FOR THE FINALS ! THANK YOU SIR ! YOU ARE MY HERO !

Hi Dr Jeremy Balka, The entire JB Statistics video series is a truly outstanding work. Many thanks for making your work public so that people like me can benefit from it. Cheers

Thanks man, love the simplicity of you videos! Cheers

Love your channel. Thank you for the hard work!

Hi, im wondering how to approximate the unknown b in a Rayleigh-distributed random variable using least squares having some values that the random variable take. Is it possible to give a short explanation of that?

7:13 and if two points determine a line, once you know x, y, the mean value of x,y, then just use the slope to determine the next value of y for a given change in x above x-mean value, such that using the y intercept is not needed to make a second point? Sometimes x with a value of zero is not practical to assume either, as when you use x to be the price of an ounce of gold and y to be the price of ten oz.'s of copper, in a scatterplot.

Thanks a lot sir. The most informative video i seen on entire you tube. Please provide video on "The Likelihood function" also.

Hi, thank you for this video, one question, in 6:44, the videos gives residue must sum to zero for least square regression, why is that? The residue is just minimized that could be non-zero, can you explain that?

@randycragun

5 жыл бұрын

Suppose that the average of the residuals was 2 (the sum would be 2 times however many points there are). That means you could move the line up vertically by 2 and have a better fit to the data points. For a simple example, imagine two points: one with a residual of 4, and another with a residual of 0 (it is on the regression line). Then the sum of the residuals is 4, and the mean of the residuals is 2. But we can do better than this by moving the regression line up to go between these points (rather than directly through one of them). In that case, the residuals would become -2 and 2, respectively, and their sum would be 0. You can see this also by looking at the sum of the squares of the residuals. In this case, the sum of the squares of the residuals is 0^2+4^2 = 16. That is large compared to what we get if we move the line up by 2 so that it goes between the two points. Then the sum of the squares of the residuals is (-2)^2+2^2 = 8. This is really easier to illustrate by drawing points and lines, so I hope you try that yourself.

very nice...thanx.

Could you explain why « (Sx)^2 », « (Sy)^2 » and « Cor(x,y) » are divided by « n-1 », and not just « n » ? and by the way your videos are the best explanation on this subject ! Definitely a life saver. Keep on the good work =D

Hi i like your videos. I had a question. I know that the values you list for b1 and bo work when the errors follow N(0,var(x)). My question is what would the least squares estimators for b0 and b1 be if the errors follow N(0,2x)

@jbstatistics

5 жыл бұрын

The least squares estimators are the least squares estimators -- they are the same formulas regardless of the distribution of errors.. The *properties* of the least square estimators depend on what the distribution of the errors is. Are you asking what would happen if the variance in the epsilons increases with X? If there is increasing variance, and we ignore that, then the resulting least squares estimators (the usual formulas) will still be unbiased, but the reported standard errors will be smaller than they should be.

thanks

Can you do that in Excel?

your videos are amazing may ALLAH bless you.

The least squares estimators are still the least squares estimators, regardless of whether the variance of y is constant or has some relationship with x. If we use our regular least squares estimators in a situation where the variance of y is non-constant, then the estimators are still unbiased but the standard errors will be off (and we thus may have misleading conclusions in our statistical inference procedures). If the assumptions of the model are all met, except for the fact that the variance of y is changing with x, then weighted regression will take care of that. In weighted regression, the notion is that points that have a high variance in the random variable y contain less information, and thus should receive less weight in the calculations. We typically weight by the inverse of the variance.

Okay thanks, so under the weighted transformation the estimator for B1 would be (x'wx)^(-1) x'wy where the w matrix has (1/2xi)^2 for its diagonals?

4:36 If we can solve for beta0 and beta1 using the equations beta0 = mean(y) - beta1(mean(x)) and beta1 = cov(x,y)/var(x). why should we use OLE instead?

@jbstatistics

Жыл бұрын

We're not solving for beta_0 and beta_1, as they are parameters whose true values are unknown. We are solving for the least squares estimators of beta_0 and beta_1. At 4:36 I'm referring to the sample covariance of X and Y, and the sample variance of X, and just giving another way of expressing the formula we just derived.

Doesn't everything seem that way at the time. Speaking of which, after all those hours of studying and review, guess who forgets to bring a calculator to the exam last night. This guy.

What's the difference between *Random error component* and *Residuals*?

@jbstatistics

7 жыл бұрын

Epsilon represents the theoretical random error component (a random variable). The residuals are the differences between the observed and predicted values of Y.

@TreBlass

7 жыл бұрын

So epsilon is basically a Random variable which takes the disturbance (values) from the mean (the regression line) and a Residual is an element of a Random error component? In other words, a Residual is a subset of Random Error Component? Also, a Residual is one of the many disturbances from the regression line for a given X? pls correct me if I am wrong

The main one is that I'm simply trying to help people learn statistics, and forcing people to watch 5 seconds of an ad before getting some help just feels wrong. And the amount of revenue would be pretty small (forcing people to watch a video ad 3 million times just so I can get $2k or so taxable dollars just doesn't add up to me).
