A rule of thumb is that 

DW test statistic values in the range of 1.5 to 2.5 are


relatively normal. Values outside this range could, however, be a cause for
concern. The Durbin–Watson statistic, while displayed by many regression
analysis programs, is not applicable in certain situations.

If the P value is equal to . 000, which is less than . 05. Then, the results are
statistically significant.Aug 

The largest condition index is called the condition number. A condition


number between 10 and 30 indicates the presence of multicollinearity and
when a value is larger than 30, the multicollinearity is regarded as strong.

A VIF of 1 will mean that the variables are not correlated; a VIF between 1
and 5 shows that variables are moderately correlated, and a VIF between 5
and 10 will mean that variables are highly correlated.2

A value of 0.8-0.9 is seen by providers and regulators alike as an


adequate demonstration of acceptable reliability for any assessment.

A positive beta is associated with a tendency of the portfolio to move in the
same direction as the market. A negative beta is associated with the
expectation that a portfolio will move in the opposite direction of the market. A
beta close to zero indicates the portfolio is not influenced by the market's
direction.30 ኖቬም 2018

For investors who are seeking lower-risk investments, a beta close to


1 may be considered "good." For investors who have a higher
tolerance for risk and are seeking higher returns, a beta greater than 1
may be considered "good.
egative beta: A beta less than 0, which would indicate an inverse relation to the market,
is possible but highly unlikely. Some investors argue that gold and gold stocks should have
negative betas because they tend to do better when the stock market declines.

R-squared (R2) is a statistical measure that represents the proportion


of the variance for a dependent variable that's explained by an
independent variable in a regression model.
The Pearson correlation coefficient (r) is used to identify patterns in things
whereas the coefficient of determination (R²) is used to identify the strength of
a model.3 ኦገስ 20
It is also called the coefficient of determination, or the coefficient of multiple determination for
multiple regression. For the same data set, higher R-squared values represent smaller
differences between the observed data and the fitted values.

R-squared or R2 explains the degree to which your input variables explain the
variation of your output / predicted variable. So, if R-square is 0.8, it
means 80% of the variation in the output variable is explained by the input
variables.26 ጃንዩ 2

Between .3 and .5 Moderate Positive

Between 0 and .3 Weak Positive

A correlation coefficient measures the strength of that relationship. Calculating a Pearson correlation
coefficient requires the assumption that the relationship between the two variables is linear. The
relationship between two variables is generally considered strong when their r value is larger than
0.7.

Residual = actual y value − predicted y value , r i = y i − y i ^ . Having


a negative residual means that the predicted value is too high,
similarly if you have a positive residual it means that the predicted
value was too low. The aim of a regression line is to minimise the sum
of residuals.

The closer a data point's residual is to 0, the better the fit.

If adjacent residuals are correlated, one residual can predict the next residual. In statistics, this
is known as autocorrelation. This correlation represents explanatory information that the
independent variables do not describe. Models that use time-series data are susceptible to this
problem.

In analysis of variance (ANOVA), the total sum of squares helps express the total variation that can
be attributed to various factors. For example, you do an experiment to test the effectiveness of three

variability while a lower result indicates low variability from the mean. To
calculate the sum of squares, subtract the mean from the data points, square
the differences, and add them together.

he DF define the shape of the t-distribution that your t-test uses to calculate the p-value. The
graph below shows the t-distribution for several different degrees of freedom. Because the
degrees of freedom are so closely related to sample size, you can see the effect of sample size.

because higher degrees of freedom generally mean larger sample


sizes, a higher degree of freedom means more power to reject a false
null hypothesis and find a significant result.
Models have degrees of freedom (df). Then higher df imply that better fit to the data is possible,
because more freedom is allowed in the model structure. So, fit to the data will usually be better.
As the degrees of freedom increases, the area in the tails of the t-distribution
decreases while the area near the center increases. (The tails consist of the
extreme values of the distribution, both negative and positive.)26 ማ
