Chapter 12: 125E (page 803)

Women in top management. Refer to the Journal of Organizational Culture, Communications and Conflict (July 2007) study on women in upper management positions at U.S. firms, Exercise 11.73 (p. 679). Monthly data (n = 252 months) were collected for several variables in an attempt to model the number of females in managerial positions (y). The independent variables included the number of females with a college degree (x1), the number of female high school graduates with no college degree (x2), the number of males in managerial positions (x3), the number of males with a college degree (x4), and the number of male high school graduates with no college degree (x5). The correlations provided in Exercise 11.67 are given in each part. Determine which of the correlations results in a potential multicollinearity problem for the regression analysis.

  1. The correlation relating number of females in managerial positions and number of females with a college degree: r = .983.
  2. The correlation relating number of females in managerial positions and number of female high school graduates with no college degree: r = .074.
  3. The correlation relating number of males in managerial positions and number of males with a college degree: r = .722.
  4. The correlation relating number of males in managerial positions and number of male high school graduates with no college degree: r = .528.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. There is high level of multicollinearity between y and x1.
  2. There is low level of multicollinearity between y and x2.
  3. There is moderate level of multicollinearity between x3 and x4.
  4. There is moderate level of multicollinearity between x3 and x5.

Step by step solution

01

Multicollinearity check

The r value between number of females in managerial positions (y) and number of females with a college degree (x1) is 0.983 which is very high degree of correlation.

Hence there is high level of multicollinearity between y and x1.

02

Multicollinearity check

The r value between number of females in managerial positions (y) and number of female high school graduates with no college degree (x2) is 0.074 which is very low degree of correlation.

Hence there is low level of multicollinearity between y and x2.

03

Multicollinearity check

The r value between number of males in managerial positions (x3) and number of males with a college degree (x4) is 0.722 which is moderate degree of correlation.

Hence there is moderate level of multicollinearity between x3 and x4.

04

Multicollinearity check

The r value between number of males in managerial positions (x3) and number of male high school graduates with no college degree (x5) is 0.528 which is moderate degree of correlation.

Hence there is moderate level of multicollinearity between x3 and x5.

Buy-side vs. sell-side analysts鈥� earnings forecasts. Refer to the Financial Analysts Journal (July/August 2008) comparison of earnings forecasts of buy-side and sell-side analysts, Exercise 2.86 (p. 112). The Harvard Business School professors used regression to model the relative optimism (y) of the analysts鈥� 3-month horizon forecasts. One of the independent variables used to model forecast optimism was the dummy variable x = {1 if the analyst worked for a buy-side firm, 0 if the analyst worked for a sell-side firm}.

a) Write the equation of the model for E(y) as a function of type of firm.

b) Interpret the value of尾0in the model, part a.

c) The professors write that the value of尾1in the model, part a, 鈥渞epresents the mean difference in relative forecast optimism between buy-side and sell-side analysts.鈥� Do you agree?

d) The professors also argue that 鈥渋f buy-side analysts make less optimistic forecasts than their sell-side counterparts, the [estimated value of尾1] will be negative.鈥� Do you agree?

Question: There are six independent variables, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, and x6, that might be useful in predicting a response y. A total of n = 50 observations is available, and it is decided to employ stepwise regression to help in selecting the independent variables that appear to be useful. The software fits all possible one-variable models of the form

E(Y)=尾0+尾1xi

where xi is the ith independent variable, i = 1, 2, 鈥�, 6. The information in the table is provided from the computer printout.

a. Which independent variable is declared the best one variable predictor of y? Explain.

b. Would this variable be included in the model at this stage? Explain.

c. Describe the next phase that a stepwise procedure would execute.

Going for it on fourth down in the NFL. Refer to the Chance (Winter 2009) study of fourth-down decisions by coaches in the National Football League (NFL), Exercise 11.69 (p. 679). Recall that statisticians at California State University, Northridge, fit a straight-line model for predicting the number of points scored (y) by a team that has a first-down with a given number of yards (x) from the opposing goal line. A second model fit to data collected on five NFL teams from a recent season was the quadratic regression model, E(y)=尾0+尾1x+尾2x2.The regression yielded the following results: y=6.13+0.141x-0.0009x2,R2=0.226.

a) If possible, give a practical interpretation of each of the b estimates in the model.

b) Give a practical interpretation of the coefficient of determination,R2.

c) In Exercise 11.63, the coefficient of correlation for the straight-line model was reported asR2=0.18. Does this statistic alone indicate that the quadratic model is a better fit than the straight-line model? Explain.

d) What test of hypothesis would you conduct to determine if the quadratic model is a better fit than the straight-line model?

Question: Glass as a waste encapsulant. Because glass is not subject to radiation damage, encapsulation of waste in glass is considered to be one of the most promising solutions to the problem of low-level nuclear waste in the environment. However, chemical reactions may weaken the glass. This concern led to a study undertaken jointly by the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Florida and the U.S. Department of Energy to assess the utility of glass as a waste encapsulant. Corrosive chemical solutions (called corrosion baths) were prepared and applied directly to glass samples containing one of three types of waste (TDS-3A, FE, and AL); the chemical reactions were observed over time. A few of the key variables measured were

y = Amount of silicon (in parts per million) found in solution at end of experiment. (This is both a measure of the degree of breakdown in the glass and a proxy for the amount of radioactive species released into the environment.)

x1 = Temperature (掳C) of the corrosion bath

x2 = 1 if waste type TDS-3A, 0 if not

x3 = 1 if waste type FE, 0 if not

(Waste type AL is the base level.) Suppose we want to model amount y of silicon as a function of temperature (x1) and type of waste (x2, x3).

a. Write a model that proposes parallel straight-line relationships between amount of silicon and temperature, one line for each of the three waste types.

b. Add terms for the interaction between temperature and waste type to the model of part a.

c. Refer to the model of part b. For each waste type, give the slope of the line relating amount of silicon to temperature.

e. Explain how you could test for the presence of temperature鈥搘aste type interaction.

Role of retailer interest on shopping behavior. Retail interest is defined by marketers as the level of interest a consumer has in a given retail store. Marketing professors investigated the role of retailer interest in consumers鈥� shopping behavior (Journal of Retailing, Summer 2006). Using survey data collected for n = 375 consumers, the professors developed an interaction model for y = willingness of the consumer to shop at a retailer鈥檚 store in the future (called repatronage intentions) as a function of = consumer satisfaction and = retailer interest. The regression results are shown below.

(a) Is the overall model statistically useful for predicting y? Test using a=0.05

(b )Conduct a test for interaction at a= 0.05.

(c) Use the estimates to sketch the estimated relationship between repatronage intentions (y) and satisfaction when retailer interest is x2=1 (a low value).

(d)Repeat part c when retailer interest is x2= 7(a high value).

(e) Sketch the two lines, parts c and d, on the same graph to illustrate the nature of the interaction.
