    analysis is a technique used in statistics for investigating and modeling the relationship between variables (Douglas Montgomery, Peck, & Vinning, 2012). Simple linear regression: Simple linear regression is a model with a single regressor x that has a relationship with a response y that is a straight line. This simple linear regression model can be expressed as y = β0 +β1+xε whereβ the intercept 0 and β the slope 1 are unknown constants and ε is a random error component . Multiple linear regression:

    not significantly different from zero. The statistic for this test is where T is the sample size, m is the number of lags and is the estimated autocorrelation coefficient. The null hypothesis for this test is that the coefficients are all jointly zero and has a distribution. The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the coefficients is not equal to zero and implies the presence of serial correlation. We can estimate the Ljung-Box statistic in Eviews by creating a correlogram for the

  • Spatial Autocorrelation Essay

    1169 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first law of geography states that “Everything is related to everything else but near things are more related than distant things” (Tobler, 1970 p236). In statistics, we call this phenomenon as spatial autocorrelation. In general sense, we can define the spatial autocorrelation as the extent to which objects or activities in the geographical proximity are related to other objects or activities on the surface of earth. In spatial analysis, we are dealing with information that is quite distinct

    Descriptive statistic is a statistic analysis to describe the characteristic of the respondents (Pallant, 2013). This study employs descriptive statistical analysis which gives value of mean, median and standard deviation of the respondents based on several indicators, such as sex/gender, educational level, position at work and income of the respondents. By using these indicators, the researcher describes the profile of the respondents. Hence, it can give some valuable information about the respondents
